Last week, during a podcast, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), shared his insights on leadership, admitting that while he gets frustrated and angry, he has learned that losing his temper isn't productive and that silence can often be more effective.
What Happened: In a conversation with Lex Fridman, Pichai acknowledged that frustration and anger are normal emotions but underscored the importance of controlling them for effective leadership.
He explained, "I do get angry. I do get frustrated. I have the same emotions all of us do in the context of work and everything," adding, "But have there been times I lose it? Yeah. Maybe less often than others, and maybe over the years less and less so, because I find it's not needed to achieve what you need to do."
Drawing from his love for soccer, Pichai said, "In soccer… people often talk about man management," meaning how great coaches know how to get the best out of individual players.

He elaborated, noting people often want to do well on their own and sometimes yelling at them isn&#8217;t productive because they already feel bad when they mess up. On the other hand, some people may need direct feedback.&nbsp;
Pichai also shared that sometimes silence can be a powerful tool.
"People can sometimes see that you're unhappy without you saying it, and so sometimes the silence can deliver that message even more," he stated.

</div>
</figure>
Why It's Important: The conversation was made public just days before Pichai celebrated his 53rd birthday. Born in 1972, Pichai developed an early interest in technology after his father brought home a rotary phone.
He earned a degree in metallurgy from IIT Kharagpur, followed by a master's at Stanford and an MBA from Wharton.
After stints at Applied Materials and McKinsey, he joined Google in 2004, contributing to products like Google Chrome. Rising through the ranks, he became CEO of Google and later Alphabet.
Under his leadership, Alphabet, now valued at $2.16 trillion, has advanced in AI, voice tech and cloud computing. As of early 2025, Pichai's net worth is over $1.3 billion, <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/personalities/sundar-pichai-net-worth">according</a> to The Street.

Sundar Pichai Says He Gets Frustrated, Angry, But Realized Losing His Temper Doesn't Lead To Productivity Because Sometimes 'Silence Can Deliver' More: Here's What He Learned Because Of Soccer

Vercept, a Seattle-based <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45642134/alation-just-bought-numbers-station-an-18-person-ai-startup-born-at-stanford-backed-by-intel-ceo-lip-bu-tan-and-tableaus-mark-nelson">AI startup</a>, has secured $16 million in seed funding to develop Vy, a computer vision-powered Mac application designed to automate digital workflows with a single natural language command,<a href="https://www.geekwire.com/2025/seattle-startup-backed-by-former-google-ceo-lands-16m-to-automate-repetitive-tasks-on-a-computer/"> GeekWire</a> reports.
The company was founded by a group of former leaders from the Allen Institute for AI, and according to GeekWire, its backers include some of the most prominent names in tech, such as former Google CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44892275/eric-schmidt-warns-china-is-going-to-win-ai-race-unless-washington-fights-with-funding-and-instills-american-values-at-the-core">Eric Schmidt</a>, Google DeepMind chief scientist Jeff Dean, Dropbox (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DBX#NASDAQ">DBX</a>) co-founder Arash Ferdowsi, and Cruise founder Kyle Vogt.

</ul>
The round was led by San Francisco-based venture firm Fifty Years, with participation from Point Nine and the AI2 Incubator, which was Vercept's first institutional investor, GeekWire says.
Vy Uses Vision AI To Mimic Human Computer Interaction
Vercept's flagship product, Vy, uses artificial intelligence to "see" and interpret screens the way a human does, allowing it to replicate complex workflows after observing them once, GeekWire reports.
According to the company&#8217;s<a href="https://vercept.com/about"> website</a>, Vercept was founded with the goal of radically rethinking how people interact with technology, aiming to replace the maze of menus and code-heavy workflows with a seamless, intuitive interface that feels like an extension of the user's mind.
The company describes its mission as enabling users to do more with less effort, tackling tasks that were once considered too technical or time-consuming to attempt. Users can perform any digital task, such as filling out forms, organizing invoices, or creating content, while Vy records the actions, and then it automates those same tasks using natural language commands.

Unlike traditional robotic process automation tools, GeekWire says that Vy does not require pre-built application programming interfaces, connectors, or hardcoded steps to engage with software. Vercept CEO Kiana Ehsani told GeekWire that the product is a &#8220;unified paradigm for interacting with the computer.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Founding Team Brings Elite AI Pedigree</h2>
Ehsani previously led robotics and embodied AI projects at Ai2, while other Vercept co-founders include Oren Etzioni, the founding CEO of Ai2, and Matt Deitke, who worked on prominent AI projects like Molmo, ProcTHOR, and Objaverse, GeekWire reports.
Luca Weihs, another co-founder, was a research manager and infrastructure lead at Ai2, focusing on AI agents and reinforcement learning. According to GeekWire, Ross Girshick, a pioneer in combining deep learning and computer vision, also joined the founding team after stints at Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) AI and Ai2.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Early Use Cases Hint At Broad Market Fit</h2>
Vy has already found traction with a wide range of early adopters, from students using it to manage assignments to businesses automating administrative workflows. In one example, GeekWire reports that individuals with disabilities have integrated Vy with speech-to-text systems, allowing them to remotely operate computers and complete digital tasks independently.
While user growth and revenue figures were not disclosed, Ehsani told GeekWire that the reception to Vy has exceeded expectations. Vercept currently employs eight full-time staff members.
As major tech players like OpenAI, Google, and Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) explore generative AI tools for task automation, GeekWire says that Vercept is differentiating itself with a visual-first solution that requires no technical setup or custom coding.

Walt Disney Co.

What Happened: The companies submitted the lawsuit in a federal court in Los Angeles and accused Midjourney of unauthorized use and distribution of the studios' most famous characters, according to a Reuters report. 
The lawsuit called Midjourney&#8217;s platform a "bottomless pit of plagiarism."

The companies alleged that Midjourney unlawfully copied and distributed countless images featuring characters such as Darth Vader from "Star Wars," Elsa from "Frozen" and the Minions from "Despicable Me," among others.
Disney and Universal claimed they had previously asked Midjourney to stop infringing on their copyrighted works or, at least, to implement technical measures to prevent such use, but the company reportedly ignored these requests. 
Instead, the studios argued, Midjourney continued to release improved versions of its service, resulting in higher-quality infringing images. The lawsuit was filed by seven corporate entities representing the Disney and Universal film units that owned or managed the copyrights for these characters.
Disney and Universal are seeking a preliminary injunction to block Midjourney from copying their works or offering its image and video generation services without protections against copyright infringement. The studios are also pursuing unspecified damages.

Why It Matters: Midjourney was also named in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/02/37398914/the-4-700-artist-ai-controversy-artists-accuse-midjourney-and-other-ai-firms-of-unauthorized-use-in">separate 2023 lawsuit</a>, which remains ongoing.
The suit claimed several AI image generators, including Midjourney, had used the works of over 4,700 artists, including well-known names such as Norman Rockwell and Wes Anderson, to train their systems without consent or compensation.
The controversy gained traction after artist Jon Lam shared the "Midjourney Style List" on social media, sparking debate about the lack of regulation in the AI-generated art space. 
The list, reportedly disclosed by Midjourney's founder in a public forum, fueled artists' frustrations over being excluded from the profits made by AI platforms that monetize their styles through subscription services.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Comfort Systems USA Stock In The Last 5 Years

Financial radio host Dave Ramsey has spoken with many couples who want to get out of debt. He often starts by figuring out how they got into debt, and this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AOzKp_MlFE">recent conversation</a> on "The Ramsey Show" was no different.&nbsp;
A couple with more than $200,000 in debt asked Ramsey if they should sell their house to pay off the debt. However, as the call unfolded, it became clear that selling the house wasn't the solution.
"The problem is not the credit card debt," Ramsey stated.

</ul>
The couple has $50,000 in credit card debt, $115,000 in student loan debt, and a $48,000 home equity loan. It would be better if the credit card debt was zero, but the couple's habits were a bigger red flag for Ramsey than their current financial situation.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lifestyle Creep Can Destroy Anyone's Finances</h2>
Ramsey asked for the couple's age, and the wife mentioned that she is 48 years old. This discovery prompted Ramsey to inquire about why they owed $115,000 on student loans. It turns out the couple made minimum payments on their debt and lived above their means.
Doing that for one year is bad enough, but if you do it for more than 20 years, you can end up in serious debt. The couple currently finds themselves in this situation. Their annual household income jumped to $8,000 per month a few years ago, but that didn't translate into lower debt. The couple just spent more money.
This chain of bad money habits adds more validation to Ramsey's assertion that credit card debt isn't the problem. In fact, the couple later revealed that the home equity line of credit was used as a debt consolidation loan to reduce their credit card debt. Selling the house can solve the couple's current debt, but it would keep their bad money habits intact.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Make Short-Term Sacrifices For Long-Term Gains</h2>
Ramsey was pretty clear about what it would take for the couple to correct their course. He suggested that they live like broke people. That includes no dining or vacations for at least three years. He said the couple shouldn't be in a restaurant unless one of them is working in it.
He also suggested that the couple look for ways to earn additional money. While $8,000 per month is an above-average household income, the couple is far behind on their debt. If all goes well, the couple will be in their early 50s by the time they pay off their debt. Then, they have to save for retirement.
Ramsey suggested tackling the debt aggressively. He advocated that the couple pay off $2,000 per month toward debt repayment and quickly boost that number to $5,000 per month as the couple increases their earnings with raises, side hustles, and other methods.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Turn Cost Savings Into A Game</h2>
Ramsey also told the couple to cut up their credit cards and make a game out of how much debt they can pay and how little they can buy. TikTok has some of these challenges, such as "No Spend January" and "No Buy February."&nbsp;
Participating in these types of challenges each month can help the couple curtail their out-of-control discretionary spending. Then, they can pay off debt quicker, have more motivation to build on the initial momentum, and keep their house.&nbsp;
It requires a long-term financial commitment to get out of debt and change bad money habits that have been keeping you down. Ramsey offered the roadmap, and it&#8217;s up to the couple to follow it.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Alphabet Stock In The Last 15 Years

Scottie Scheffler has taken the golf world by storm <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/07/39940590/scottie-scheffler-gold-medalist-golfer-looks-to-turn-2024-pga-tour-success-into-a-2024-oly">in recent years</a> and enters the 2025 US Open as the heavy betting favorite. The golfer shared a unique story about his Venmo account ahead of the tournament.
What Happened: Scheffler has made bettors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/04/26569375/scottie-scheffler-wins-the-masters-how-much-a-100-bet-on-the-golfer-paid-out-and-how-one-bettor-made">plenty of money</a> in recent years with his top form on the golf course, which includes several major tournament wins.
Those who bet on Scheffler are also the reason why the golfer no longer has a Venmo account, the financial app to send money to other people owned by PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>).
When asked about being the betting favorite for this year's U.S. Open, June 12-15 at the Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, Scheffler got real with the difference between him and fan expectations.
"I think everybody hears from fans whether they have a financial benefit. That's why I had to get rid of my Venmo," Scheffler <a href="https://x.com/GolfDigest/status/1932550169527984156">said</a>, as shared by Golf Digest.
Scheffler said that it wasn't a good feeling after he lost to get requests from fans.
"I was either getting paid by people or people were requesting a bunch of money when I didn't win."
Scheffler said he received a "couple of bucks" here and there when he would win, but the requests would always outnumber the payments when he was on the losing end.
The golfer said he doesn't pay attention to betting odds and starting Thursday, all the golfers in the U.S. Open are at par and playing against the golf course.

Betting Odds: The U.S. Open kicks off Thursday and coverage will be provided by Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) via television on USA and NBC and streaming on Peacock. Thursday's opening round kicks off at 6:30 a.m. ET and goes to 8 p.m. ET with Sunday's coverage going from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET.
Scheffler begins his round Thursday at 1:25 p.m. ET.
At sportsbook DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>), Scheffler is the betting favorite at +275, significantly ahead of Bryson DeChambeau (+75O), Jon Rahm (+1,200) and Rory McIlroy (+1,200), who round out the top four picks.
According to <a href="https://x.com/DavidPurdum/status/1932817555623719110">ESPN</a>, there have been more bets on Scheffler winning than all other golfers combined at ESPN Bet, which is operated by PENN Entertainment (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PENN#NASDAQ">PENN</a>).
Scheffler, being a heavy favorite, puts him in similar company to Tiger Woods. The golfer has been the favorite or co-favorite for 11 consecutive major golf tournaments, which is the third-largest streak in the past 40 years as <a href="https://www.actionnetwork.com/golf/tiger-territory-scottie-schefflers-historic-odds-at-2025-u-s-open">reported </a>by Action Network. Scheffler trails only two streaks by Woods for the longest streak.
Scheffler has had odds of +275 or lower five times and won two of those five tournaments.
On the current PGA Tour <a href="https://www.pgatour.com/player/46046/scottie-scheffler/results">season</a>, Scheffler has three wins from 12 events, nine top 10 finishes, 12 top 25 finishes and made the cut in all 12 tournaments.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Danaher 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Everyone's got their own definition of "rich." For some, it's never checking price tags. For others, it's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/45056962/bill-gates-says-hes-happier-as-a-billionaire-than-if-he-were-middle-class-you-dont-need-a-billionbut-freedom-from-worry-is-a-blessing">just not stressing over bills</a>. But when it comes to hard numbers—income and net worth—there's a pretty clear line between being comfortable and being among the country's financial elite.
So what does it really take to land in the top <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45483329/are-you-rich-or-just-upper-middle-class-heres-the-net-worth-and-income-it-takes-to-be-considered-wealthy">10%, 5%, or even the 1% of earners</a> in America?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Top 10% Club</h2>
You might be surprised to learn that you don't need to be a millionaire to crack the top 10%. An individual bringing in around $132,000 a year is already there, according to data from the <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/netcomp.cgi?year=2023">Social Security Administration</a>. For households, it's a bit higher—closer to $216,000. Not chump change, but still within reach for high-earning professionals or dual-income families.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top 5%: A Big Jump</h2>
To move up a tier, you're looking at a household income of around $352,000. That's more than three times the U.S. median income and enough to be considered truly upper class in most areas. Even here, geography matters—a $352,000 salary in Mississippi goes a lot further than the same number in New York or California.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top 1%: Where the Air Gets Thin</h2>
Now for the real high-flyers. To join the top 1% nationally, you'll typically need to earn between $750,000 and $800,000 a year. Some states set the bar even higher—Connecticut's threshold is a jaw-dropping $955,000. Meanwhile, in West Virginia, the top 1% line is around $375,000.
But income is only half the story.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What About Net Worth?</h2>
Income fluctuates. Net worth builds over time—and it's what really determines long-term wealth.
According to the <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/scfindex.htm">2022 Survey of Consumer Finances</a> by the Federal Reserve, households in the top 10% typically have a net worth between $970,000 and $1.9 million. To reach the top 5%, you'll need somewhere between $1.2 million and $2.7 million. And if you're aiming for the top 1%? That starts at a hefty $11.6 million and climbs from there.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Americans Think It Takes To Be Rich</h2>
Interestingly, most people aim much lower according to the <a href="https://www.aboutschwab.com/schwab-modern-wealth-survey-2024">Charles Schwab Modern Wealth Survey</a>. Millennials believe $2.2 million qualifies as rich, while Gen Z says just $1.2 million. Boomers peg it closer to $2.8 million.
There's also a difference between feeling "comfortable" and "rich." The average American says they'd feel financially comfortable with a net worth around $778,000—well below any of these top-tier thresholds.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So, Are You Rich?</h2>
If you're pulling in six figures and saving steadily, you may not be in the 1% yet—but you're likely ahead of the game. Rich, it turns out, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">is more than just a number</a>—it's a moving target, and where you live matters almost as much as what you earn.
Still curious where you land? A good rule of thumb: if you're wondering whether you're rich, you probably don't feel it yet—but that doesn't mean you're not getting close.

$100 Invested In This Stock 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

In the current market session, Match Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTCH#NASDAQ">MTCH</a>) share price is at $31.65, after a 0.16% decrease. Over the past month, the stock increased by 7.24%, but over the past year, it actually fell by 0.21%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749679220_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Match Group P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Match Group has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 31.31 of the Interactive Media &amp; Services industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749679220_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
