On Monday, ChatGPT-parent OpenAI said that it will retain its nonprofit parent's control over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44066117/elon-musk-battles-openai-over-move-to-for-profit-model-and-experts-are-pushing-back">its for-profit operations</a>, scaling back a plan to transition fully to a public benefit corporation amid mounting legal pressure and investor concerns.
What Happened: In a letter to OpenAI's employees that was shared in a blog post, Altman said that public benefit corporations have become the go-to for-profit model for AGI labs such as Anthropic and xAI, as well as mission-driven companies like Patagonia.&nbsp;
"OpenAI was founded as a non-profit, is today a non-profit that oversees and controls the for-profit, and going forward will remain a non-profit that oversees and controls the for-profit. That will not change," OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a blog post.

Earlier this year, OpenAI announced that it plans to raise up to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44580172/openai-finalizes-historic-40-billion-funding-round-valuing-company-at-300-billion-with-backing-from-softbank-and-microsoft">$40 billion in a round led by</a> SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) at a $300 billion valuation. That round was reportedly contingent on OpenAI transitioning to a for-profit model by year-end.
In a call with reporters, Altman hinted that he new structure does not jeopardize those plans, reported Reuters.
He added that OpenAI would continue working with Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), regulators and newly appointed nonprofit commissioners to finalize the plan.
OpenAI Board Chair Bret Taylor said the updated approach follows discussions with civic leaders and the Attorneys General of California and Delaware.

Why It's Important: The decision marks a shift from OpenAI's earlier proposal, which would have ceded control of the company's for-profit arm to shareholders <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43185661/openai-struggles-to-value-microsoft-stake-as-it-looks-to-transition-to-for-profit-entity-as-trumps-500-billion-stargate-ai-project-kicks-off-report">under a public benefit corporation</a> structure.
That plan would have allowed for greater capital-raising flexibility but sparked criticism over whether OpenAI was drifting from its founding mission to develop artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity.
Instead, the nonprofit will continue to oversee the for-profit OpenAI LP while also becoming a significant shareholder in it.
The change also comes as OpenAI faces a lawsuit from co-founder and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk, who accused the company of abandoning its nonprofit mission. A jury trial in that case is scheduled for March 2026.
A Musk-led consortium previously made a $97.4 billion acquisition offer for OpenAI, which CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43622400/sam-altman-says-elon-musks-97b-bid-for-openai-is-a-move-to-slow-down-a-competitor">Altman promptly rejected</a>.

OpenAI Reverses Course As Sam Altman Says Nonprofit Will Remain In Control Amid Elon Musk's Lawsuit And Investor Pushback

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg has become the world's second-richest person, overtaking Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) founder Jeff Bezos.
What Happened: Zuckerberg's net worth has climbed to $212 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, after Meta shares jumped more than 16% over the past month, outperforming the S&amp;P 500's 11.52% gain.
Amazon stock rose just 6.33% in the same period, keeping Bezos' net worth at $209 billion.
On Monday, Zuckerberg gained $846 million, while Bezos lost $2.90 billion, the data showed.

While Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk remains in the top spot with a net worth of $331 billion, he saw a $4.97 billion dip. Bezos has lost $2.9 billion, extending his year-to-date loss to $30 billion.
Zuckerberg, on the other hand, was the only gainer among the top three, adding $846 million to his as of the last change and $4.63 billion year to date.

Why It's Important: On May 1, Meta reported first-quarter revenue of $42.31 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $41.39 billion. For the second quarter, the company expects revenue between $42.5 billion and $45.5 billion, compared to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro's</a> estimate of $44.06 billion.
Price Action: Meta shares are up just 0.01% year-to-date but have climbed 28.69% over the past 12 months. On Monday, the stock rose 0.38% during regular trading but slipped 0.36% after hours, settling at $597.10.
Meta currently holds a consensus price target of $704.19, based on assessments from 43 analysts. The highest target comes from Tigress Financial, which set a price of $935 on Feb. 11, 2025, while the lowest was issued by Scotiabank at $525 on April 21.
The three most recent analyst updates by RBC Capital, Morgan Stanley, and JMP Securities set an average price target of $713.33. That figure suggests a potential upside of 19.47% from Meta&#8217;s current trading level.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings assigns Meta a strong growth score of 74.97%, highlighting its solid performance.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound"> Click here to see how it stacks up against</a> Amazon and Tesla.

What Happened: Bitcoin wobbled between the mid-$93,000s and the early $95,000s, with the apex cryptocurrency hitting an intraday high of $95,193.19.
Ethereum also experienced a choppy trading day as it wiggled in the $1,800 region. The second-largest cryptocurrency's trading volume rose 27% in the last 24 hours.

About $146 million was liquidated from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours, with bullish long bets accounting for $83.75 million.
That said, over $500 million in Bitcoin shorts risked liquidation if the leading cryptocurrency rebounded to $97,000.
The majority of Binance traders with open BTC positions placed bearish bets on Bitcoin, according to the Long/Short Ratio.
On the other hand, the market sentiment shifted to "Greed," according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $2.94 trillion, following a minor 0.04% contraction in the last 24 hours.
Stocks snapped their winning run Monday. After nine consecutive days of gains, the S&amp;P 500 closed 0.64% lower at 5,650.38. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 98.60 points, or 0.24%, to end at 41,218.83. The tech-focused Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.74%, ending at 17,844.24.
The slide comes after Trump's proposed 100% tariff on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/05/45187710/peter-schiff-says-trumps-100-tariff-on-foreign-films-pointless-without-targeting-streamingwarns-netflix-subscribers-would-bear-cost">foreign-produced movies</a> sent jitters across the entertainment sector.

Analyst Notes: Blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant highlighted that despite Ethereum's prolonged downtrend, accumulating addresses have not abandoned their strategy, showcasing their long-term belief in the asset.
"Instead, they increased their ETH exposure: on March 10, they held 15.5356 million ETH, and by May 3, this rose to 19.0378 million ETH, a 22.54% increase," CryptoQuant added.

Bitcoin, Ethereum Flat, Dogecoin Dips Even As Trump Calls Crypto 'Popular:' Analyst Says BTC Build-up Good, Predicts ETH Uptrend After Fed Meet

Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and one of the world's most influential entrepreneurs, once opened up in an interview about why most people fail to follow through on business or invention ideas — and how a rare mix of traits helped him turn an online bookstore into a $1.97 trillion e-commerce empire.
What Happened: "Well, it&#8217;s hard work," Bezos said during the interview in 2011. "It's easy to have ideas — it's very hard to turn an idea into a successful product."
He underscored that while anyone can dream up a business, very few can navigate the long, grueling path of bringing that idea to life. According to Bezos, the secret lies in a powerful combination of what he calls "stubborn relentlessness" and "flexibility."

"You need to be stubborn on your vision because otherwise, it&#8217;ll be too easy to give up," he explained. "But you need to be very flexible on the details because as you go along pursuing your vision, you&#8217;ll find that some of your preconceptions were wrong and you&#8217;re going to need to be able to change those things."
Bezos added, "Taking an idea successfully all the way to the market and turning it into a real product that people care about — and that really improves people&#8217;s lives — is a lot of hard work."

Why It's Important: Bezos didn't just talk the talk — he walked it all the way to Wall Street. After <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/02/37315156/if-you-invested-1-000-in-amazon-stock-at-ipo-heres-how-much-youd-have-today">quitting his job</a> at a New York investment firm, he drove cross-country to Seattle to launch Amazon from his garage in 1994.
The first product sold? A science textbook titled Fluid Concepts &amp; Creative Analogies: Computer Models of the Fundamental Mechanisms of Thought.
Amazon went public on May 15, 1997, with a share price of $18 and a valuation of around $300 million. Today, the company is worth over $1.97 trillion and has expanded far beyond books, offering everything from groceries to streaming content and cloud services.
Investors who put $1,000 into Amazon stock at its IPO and held on would now have about $1.86 million, thanks to stock splits and the company's meteoric rise.
Over the past five years, Amazon shares have gained 56.62%. However, the stock has slipped 1.25% over the past 12 months and is down 15.38% so far this year, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Bezos currently has a net worth of $209 billion, making him the third wealthiest person in the world after Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Index</a>.
Amazon boasts a strong growth score of 94.12% in the Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to compare its performance with other</a> top e-commerce competitors.

Jeff Bezos Says It's 'Easy To Have Ideas' — But Here's Why Only The Relentlessly 'Stubborn' Can Turn Them Into Trillion-Dollar Businesses Like Amazon

SBET

Trading Halt: Halted at 7:50:00 p.m. ET - Trading Halt: Halt News Pending

Most billionaires tend to look like billionaires. Polished suits, expensive shoes, and watches that cost more than a car. Mark Cuban? He'd rather roll into a room in a T-shirt and jeans. And if you've ever wondered why he doesn't bother dressing up—he's already explained it in the most Cuban way possible.
In an <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjhr1tX4/">October TikTok</a> posted to his own account, Robert Herjavec—another ‘Shark Tank' star and Canadian entrepreneur, reflected on an conversation he once had with Cuban regarding his fashion choices. "I've known @Mark Cuban for a long time, and from what I remember, he's never been the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44526994/billionaire-mark-cuban-used-to-sleep-on-the-floor-and-wear-2-for-99-polyester-suits-in-his-20s-now-he-says-confidence-beats-trying-to-look-fancy">best-dressed guy in the room</a>—always in t-shirts," Herjavec said.&nbsp;
So, one day, he asked Cuban,"With all due respect, why do you dress like a slob?"
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.30/share with a $1000 minimum.</a></li>
<li>Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a></li>
</ul>
Cuban could've gotten defensive. He could've snapped back or rattled off some explanation. Instead, he didn't flinch—he just shrugged it off with five words that said it all:
"Because I can."
Sure, "Because I can" sounds like something a defiant kid might say—but coming from a billionaire, it was more like a mission statement.
For anyone who watched Cuban during his ‘Shark Tank' years or followed his entrepreneurial ventures, it's no secret he's never been big on traditional business norms. He's famously said he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44132046/mark-cuban-ditched-his-watch-for-30-years-to-stay-on-his-own-time-after-getting-rich-and-hes-not-taking-calls-or-attending-meetings-either">avoids calls and meetings whenever possible</a> and handles most things by email. Cuban built his career by getting results—not by logging hours in boardrooms or stressing over dress codes.
Herjavec later reflected on that moment and admitted it stuck with him. At first, he thought Cuban was just being, well… Cuban. But over time, he realized the deeper meaning.
"Mark is never the one selling; every room he goes into, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44585979/mark-cuban-warns-entrepreneurs-dont-let-others-sell-you-on-their-ideas-why-ignoring-bad-advice-could-be-your-key-to-success">people are selling him</a>."
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
In other words, the guy in the T-shirt already won.
Herjavec even shared another gem he picked up from watching Cuban in action:
"If you walk into a room and there's 20 people in suits and ties and one person in a T-shirt—that's the one with the power. That person worked their ass off to get to a position where they can wear whatever they want."
It's a mindset that's resonated beyond just Cuban's circle. His casual style and refusal to play by old-school rules reflect a bigger shift in how success is measured today. Forget appearances. It's about results, innovation, and—when you've really made it—the freedom to just be yourself.
Cuban's "Because I can" has basically become a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44462830/mark-cuban-says-entrepreneurs-not-billionaires-are-the-backbone-of-america-they-make-this-country-run">rallying cry for entrepreneurs</a> and business rebels everywhere. Not because they're lazy about their wardrobe—but because they're too busy building something bigger to care what anyone thinks.

Legendary investor Warren Buffett has produced stock market returns that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/01/42832123/warren-buffett-beats-sp-500-in-2024-how-oracle-of-omahas-returns-compare-over-past-20-years">typically beat the S&amp;P 500 each year.</a>
Known for his long-term investing and buy and hold approach, Buffett may have another trick up his sleeve when talking to CEOs.
Buffett's Desert Island Question: At the 2025 Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) annual shareholders meeting, Buffett surprised the crowd with the announcement <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45184410/warren-buffett-to-step-down-as-berkshire-hathaway-ceo-by-end-of-year-asks-board-to-confirm-greg-abel-as-successor">he would step down</a> as CEO of the company at the end of the year.
While this may have put a somber mood on the weekend's festivities, Buffett also provided many pieces of advice and pearls of wisdom to those in attendance through prepared remarks and question-and-answer segments.
At the shareholder meeting, Buffett gave one piece of advice involving a desert island.
"If you can talk to a CEO, ask them this question: if you were stuck on a desert island for 10 years, which of your competitors' stocks would you buy? And which would you short?" Buffett said, as <a href="https://x.com/andrewrsorkin/status/1918713836305068063">reported </a>by CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin.
Buffett added that this question would give CEOs the opportunity put their entire net worth into a competitor's business or bet against a competitor, as <a href="https://www.financialexpress.com/market/warren-buffett-has-two-questions-for-ceos-if-you-were-stuck-on-a-desert-3831812/">reported </a>by Financial Express.
"Every manager enjoys talking about the competition. They're like school kids. I probably gained most of my industry insights just by ensuring they didn't expect me to stick around too long."
You may not be a billionaire like Warren Buffett, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/05/45183831/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-63">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: Over the years, Buffett has provided plenty of investing advice and tips on how he helped grow the value of Berkshire Hathaway stock.
The desert island question follows an old question of asking people what CDs/music, books, or other forms of entertainment they would want to have if stuck on a desert island for years.
Investing in one stock for 10 years and not being able to sell it could be tense for investors in the current generation of short-term trading and 24-hour trading markets.
The question of CEOs answering which of their competitors stock they would want to own could provide clues about which companies have strong growth, are feared by the competition and have catalysts coming. Likewise, CEOs picking which stock to short could reveal competitors with weaknesses and potential market share losses or other negative items coming.
While this is a desert island indicator of sorts, it's not to be confused with Buffett's "desert island indicator." Buffett previously <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/buffett-railroad-industry-look-bad-2016-4">said </a>that if he was stuck on a desert island and could only get one financial metric, it would be the number of rail carloads, which he believes is one of the best ways to show the health of the economy.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Lowe's Companies Stock In The Last 10 Years

Following a rocky April opening, thanks largely to aggressive U.S. tariff policy and economic jitters, the S&amp;P 500 has been on a surprising tear, recording its longest string of gains since 2004. 
Along for the ride are two of the most recognizable index-tracking ETFs: Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) and State Street&#8217;s SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>). Though they might look very similar on the surface, recent history has highlighted some distinct differences between the two funds — differences that could be influencing investor behavior in more than one way.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Neck And Neck, Temporarily</h1>
VOO and SPY each picked up about 3% during the past week, fueled by healthy tech earnings, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45164558/us-adds-177000-jobs-in-april-topping-forecasts-as-economy-navigates-tariff-impact">robust labor market reports</a>, and a collective exhalation of relief regarding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45175235/nasdaq-100-leads-wall-street-rally-as-china-signals-openness-to-fentanyl-talks-easing-trade-tensions">waning trade tensions</a>. But the path to those gains was far from smooth. Trump&#8217;s tariff rollercoaster created historic daily volatility, with the Cboe Volatility Index reaching levels not seen since 2020, in April. And in the midst of the chaos, VOO came out with more than profits, it made investor dollars at a record-breaking rate.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Fund Flows</h1>
In a month of wild market fluctuations, VOO <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-01/vanguard-s-voo-world-s-biggest-etf-nabs-record-flows-in-april?sref=TBDibEcD">recorded </a>almost $21 billion in inflows, according to data by Bloomberg, its largest monthly total ever. This takes us back to February, when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/02/43794873/vanguard-overtakes-state-street-as-top-etf-provider-3-funds-in-focus">VOO&#8217;s growing popularity propelled it past SPY</a> in terms of total assets. For the year to date, VOO has attracted $55 billion, while SPY has seen a net outflow of $27 billion. In blunt terms: investors appear to be voting with their wallets, and Vanguard is winning the popularity contest.
SPY, after a $2.2 billion inflow during April, is on course to record its worst year of flows since 2015, according to Bloomberg. Many find the slightly higher expense ratio of 0.095% over VOO&#8217;s very low 0.03% difficult to accept, particularly at times of turmoil.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Cost &amp; Liquidity: Pay More, Trade More</h1>
SPY&#8217;s primary strength continues to be its liquidity. With more than 77 million in average daily volume, it&#8217;s the most actively traded ETF in America, making it perfect for short-term traders. VOO, though still extremely liquid, averages closer to 8.6 million per day with slightly broader bid-ask spreads. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Structure &amp; Efficiency</h1>
This is where the divergence becomes more distinct. SPY, the old master of ETFs, is a Unit Investment Trust (UIT). That constrains it from reinvesting dividends or lending out securities, both of which might otherwise boost returns. VOO, being an open-end fund, does both. It reinvests dividends until distributed quarterly and lends out securities to generate additional income, bolstering its aggregate return potential.
Tax efficiency also works in VOO&#8217;s favor. Its in-kind creation/redemption feature serves to keep capital gains distributions to a bare minimum, an advantage that SPY, owing to its UIT structure, cannot emulate so well.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The Retail Wave</h1>
While SPY continues to lead in gross trading volume, VOO is slowly gaining mindshare among individual investors. Indeed, on sites such as Interactive Brokers, VOO frequently topped the most-traded list last month, which indicates that longer-term investors are moving toward its low-cost, tax-efficient model, Bloomberg reported.
VOO and SPY both offer exposure to the same S&amp;P 500 giants Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), but they cater to different investor appetites. SPY is for the high-frequency trader who values lightning-fast execution. VOO is for the buy-and-hold investor who prefers to let compounding and low fees do the heavy lifting.
In this story of two tickers, SPY might still reign supreme in the trading pits, but VOO is quietly and quickly redefining what a heavyweight in the ETF space means.

Bill Gates might be the world's most famous college dropout. But when his youngest daughter, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44937340/im-a-nepo-baby-phoebe-gates-opens-up-on-privilege-pressure-and-her-billionaire-dads-college-warning">Phoebe Gates</a>, thought about doing the same, her dad refused to let her follow in his footsteps.
<a href="https://youtu.be/hIEjxknAU0w?si=-FaZKXt2esQ0ZZTO">On her new podcast</a>, "The Burnouts", which launched last month, Phoebe and co-host, Sophia Kianni, opened up about the ups and downs of launching their digital fashion startup, Phia. Eventually, the conversation turned to family—and how her parents reacted when Phoebe floated the idea of starting her own business.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.30/share with a $1000 minimum.</a></li>
<li>Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a></li>
</ul>
Sophia pointed out what everyone's thinking: Phoebe grew up hearing about how her dad followed his dreams, took big risks, and failed more than once before changing the world with Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
That's when Phoebe laughed and dropped a revelation.
"It's funny to hear you say that because I literally never remember my dad talking about the start of Microsoft," she said. "I mostly just remember him talking about the foundation. I remember even when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45026632/bill-gates-says-luckily-his-daughter-phoebe-gates-never-asked-him-to-back-her-business">we wanted to start the company</a>, him being like, ‘Are you sure you want to do this?'"
Phoebe explained that her siblings, Jennifer and Rory, had taken more traditional paths—medicine and academia—with fewer risks involved. But when Phoebe brought up the idea of dropping out of Stanford to focus on her startup, her parents shut it down fast.
"They were very much like, you need to finish your degree. You don't just get to, like, drop out and do a company," Phoebe said. "Which is so funny because my dad literally did that."
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
And unlike her dad, Phoebe listened. She graduated early from Stanford University last June with a degree in human biology—a deadline she pushed for so she could watch her mom, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/04/44891233/bill-gates-bought-his-daughter-a-16-million-horse-farm-as-a-graduation-gift-but-ex-wife-melinda-says">Melinda French Gates</a>, give the commencement speech that year.
"I knew I had to make it happen if I could, because I wanted to watch my mother deliver this year's commencement speech as a graduate," Phoebe told <a href="https://www.nylon.com/life/phoebe-gates-stanford-graduation-diary">Nylon in an interview</a>.
Now 22, Phoebe isn't just following the family's philanthropic legacy—she's adding entrepreneurship to the mix. Her startup, Phia, officially launched this month. It's an AI-powered shopping tool designed to help users compare prices across more than 40,000 retail and secondhand fashion sites. "Phia is like Google Flights for fashion," Phoebe and Sophia <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DI4Br3-O76N/?igsh=bHhmbDR6ZnNreDNt">explained on the conpany's official Instagram</a>.
While Phoebe acknowledges the privileges she grew up with, she's determined to carve her own path.
"Growing up, I realized that people are always going to have thoughts about me," she told <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/style/phoebe-gates-bill-gates-resale-phia.html">The New York Times</a>. "If the business is successful, people will say, ‘It's because of her family.' And a huge portion of that is true… But I also feel a huge amount of internalized pressure."
So, no—Bill Gates didn't want another dropout in the family. But Phoebe still found a way to chase big dreams, just with a diploma in hand.

Today, at 10:03 AM on May 5th, a significant trading signal occurred for Costco, Inc. (COST) as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $1006.24. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success
