Real estate is supposed to make you rich, not raise your blood pressure — unless you're Dave Ramsey hearing a caller explain her mobile home park "investment."
Andrea from Missoula, Montana called into "<a href="https://youtu.be/sa9cYhNTu1g?si=0JAgTAYA6UHFNTXK">The Ramsey Show</a>" with what sounded like a simple question: Can she use profits from one business to pay off the debt in another? Turns out, the businesses in question were a trio of Airbnbs and a mobile home park. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42657437/theres-nothing-wrong-with-owning-rentals-says-dave-ramsey-but-forget-the-get-rich-quick-nonsense-some-want-you-to-believe">Airbnbs were doing great</a> — bringing in $150,000 a year. The mobile home park? Well, let's just say things went downhill faster than a trailer in a windstorm.

</ul>
Ramsey, who owns hundreds of millions of dollars in real estate himself, wasn't impressed. "You've got a really bad deal," he told her, flat out. "Mobile home parks generally aren't that bad. They generally are cash money." But Andrea's wasn't printing cash — it was draining it.
Despite pouring $200,000 to $300,000 in upgrades into the park, the numbers just didn't add up. "You don't have a $650,000 mortgage on a mobile home park that makes 60 grand," Ramsey said. "That does not make sense. It literally should be making 300."
And then he drove the point home:
"That thing ought to be cash flowing like a bandit."
Andrea explained there were only 13 mobile homes on the property, along with a four-bedroom house. Some of the units had below-market rents because it was low-income housing, and she was reinvesting profits into improvements. But Ramsey wasn't buying the math. "You're not charging," he said. "It's a trailer — of course it's lower income housing."
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-centennial">Jeff Bezos-Backed Arrived Homes Hits A Big Sale On Charlotte Property – Investors Earning A 34.7% Return</a>
And that's when Ramsey launched into full-on coach mode.
"If you did not already own this mobile home park," he told her, "and you had the chance to buy it today with $650,000 in debt to make $60K a year, would you buy it again?" His answer: a hard no.
He didn't mince words about the investment either. "If you really are $650,000 in debt on depreciating, losing-value mobile homes and you're only cash flowing 60 — you got a really bad deal. And you need to get out of it if you can. It just sucks as an investment."
Ramsey's advice? Forget the cosmetic upgrades. Stop building redwood decks and "giving them all a hot tub." Focus on paying off the mortgage. "Let's get rid of the mortgage and then we'll go back and do our improvements… once we're debt-free and we've got real cash flow."
Andrea's situation wasn't just a one-off lesson in bad ROI — it also opened the door to Ramsey's broader philosophy on mobile homes as investments. He made it clear: never buy one to live in.
"They go down in value," he said. "It's a car you sleep in… Financially, that's what it amounts to."

But as investments? It depends on the numbers. Ramsey pointed to another woman he recently advised who was, in his words, "breaking even every 20 seconds" on mobile homes she picked up for $20,000 apiece. With low buy-in and high cash flow, that made business sense. "She was making bank," he said. "She was printing money."
The contrast couldn't be sharper. One investor's mobile home park is a cash cow. The other? A money pit dressed as a passive income stream.
"If you can get someone else to buy it, you should sell it and get rid of it," Ramsey told Andrea. "That's a horrible ROI."
In the end, his advice was simple: pay off the mortgage fast, stop throwing good Airbnb money after bad, and don't confuse a fixer-upper with a solid investment.
Because when even Ramsey — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43171388/dave-ramsey-was-in-debt-up-to-his-eyeballs-sheriff-wanted-to-take-his-kids-crib-now-he-owns-600-million-in-real-estate-paid-for-in-cash">a guy who loves real estate </a>— says, "That thing ought to be cash flowing like a bandit," it might be time to trade that park in for, well, just about anything else.

Dave Ramsey Is Shocked A Caller's $650K Mobile Home Park Only Nets Her $60K A Year — 'That Thing Ought To Be Cash Flowing Like A Bandit!'

Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, is reportedly planning to sell his unused $645 million hydrogen-powered superyacht&nbsp;to a former NHL goalie&nbsp;turned billionaire.
What Happened: Gates has never utilized his eco-friendly superyacht, &#8220;Breakthrough&#8221;. The 390-foot vessel, constructed by&nbsp;Dutch shipbuilder Feadship in 2021, holds the distinction of being the world&#8217;s first hydrogen-powered superyacht. It features lavish amenities including two large bedrooms, an infinity pool, a helipad, a spa, and a gym.
Known as Project 821, the superyacht is powered by&nbsp;two 28-ton vacuum-sealed tanks that&nbsp;run on liquid hydrogen, emitting only water. Although Gates never publicly confirmed his ownership, it&#8217;s widely believed that he commissioned the vessel, <a href="https://luxurylaunches.com/celebrities/canadian-billionaire-to-buy-bill-gates-superyacht-09042025.php">reports </a>Luxury Launches.
As per the outlet, Gates is now prepared to sell the superyacht. The potential buyer is Patrick Dovigi, the Canadian billionaire and CEO of Green For Life Environmental. Dovigi, a former NHL goalie, has an estimated net worth of $1 billion and is the 97th richest person in Canada.

Jamie Edmiston, CEO of Edmiston,&nbsp;has hailed Breakthrough as&nbsp;a game changer for superyacht&nbsp;standards, describing it as &#8220;the most extraordinary yacht ever built&#8221;.
Why It Matters: If the sale is successful, it would represent another significant business transaction for Gates, who&nbsp;has an estimated net worth&nbsp;of&nbsp;$101.2 billion, according to Forbes.&nbsp;
The sale also highlights the growing interest in eco-friendly luxury vessels, with Breakthrough&#8217;s hydrogen-powered system setting a new standard in the superyacht industry. 
This move could potentially inspire other high-net-worth individuals to invest in environmentally-friendly luxury vessels, further pushing the industry towards sustainability.

Bill Gates Bought a $645 Million Superyacht and Never Used It — Now It's for Sale

<ul>
<li>Kaspersky has recently found crypto-stealing malware disguised as a Microsoft Office package on SourceForge.</li>
<li>While the malware primarily tricks users into sending crypto to bad actors, Kaspersky warns that the threat extends far beyond that.</li>
<li>Thousands of users have encountered this scheme in the past three months.</li>
</ul>
As crypto adoption grows, so too does interest from bad actors.
In likely evidence of this trend, warnings of security threats have ramped up in recent weeks, from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44555236/new-crocodilus-android-malware-steals-sensitive-crypto-wallet-credentials-research?utm_campaign=partner_feed&amp;utm_source=yahooFinance&amp;utm_medium=partner_feed&amp;utm_content=site&amp;nid=44710877">Threat Fabric&#8217;s Crocodilus malware warning</a> to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44710877/users-risk-buying-smartphones-preloaded-with-crypto-stealing-malware-what-you-need-to-know">Kaspersky&#8216;s recent Triada Trojan warning</a>. In the latest instance, Kaspersky is back with a warning of yet another security risk facing crypto users.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Malicious &#8220;Officepackage&#8221;</h2>
Kaspersky has recently found crypto-stealing malware disguised as a Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Office package on SourceForge, a popular software hosting and distribution platform.&nbsp;

</ul>
In a Tuesday blog <a href="https://securelist.com/miner-clipbanker-sourceforge-campaign/116088/">post</a>, the cybersecurity outfit warned of a project it found on SourceForge called &#8220;officepackage,&#8221; which posed as a legitimate Microsoft Office add-in project but redirected users to another website to download malware disguised as pirated Microsoft Office applications.
Once downloaded, Kaspersky explains that the malware scans the system for previous infections and antivirus software, deleting itself if it finds either. But if the system passes both checks, the malware quickly sends out a message of key system data through a Telegram API, sets up several re-entry measures and delivers its payload, the so-called ClipBanker.
ClipBanker is a malicious code that replaces cryptocurrency addresses in a system&#8217;s clipboard with the attacker&#8217;s own. This exploit is particularly potent as crypto users typically copy wallet addresses instead of typing them out to avoid errors. As such, ClipBanker turns what is usually a safety precaution into the user&#8217;s undoing.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
Still, the threat of the officepackage scheme may extend beyond stealing cryptocurrencies.
&#8220;While the attack primarily targets cryptocurrency by deploying a miner and ClipBanker, the attackers could sell system access to more dangerous actors,&#8221; Kaspersky warned.
Responding to the recent Kaspersky report, SourceForge President Logan Abbot <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/microsoft-office-extension-packages-hide-malware-replaces-crypto-addresses">told</a> Cointelegraph that the firm had removed the officepackage software from its platform and put measures in place to prevent future occurrences. But these measures arrived too late for thousands of users.
According to Kaspersky, 4,604 users were affected by the scheme between January and March, with Russians seemingly the primary target as they accounted for 90% of the victims.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Stay Safe From Schemes Like The Officepackage Exploit</h2>
While the officepackage scheme is particularly tricky, there are simple measures users can take to stay protected.
For one, as highlighted by Kaspersky, users should stick to official sources for their software as much as possible.&nbsp;
&#8220;We advise users against downloading software from untrusted sources. If you are unable to obtain some software from official sources for any reason, remember that seeking alternative download options always carries higher security risks,&#8221; the firm stressed.
Another step users can take to stay safe is to have up-to-date antivirus software for prompt and easy malware detection.
Furthermore, users should always double-check wallet addresses before executing transfers to avoid making transfers to unwanted addresses.

Kaspersky Warns Of Crypto-Stealing Malware In SourceForge Microsoft Package—Here's How to Stay Protected

Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), the $1.3 trillion empire of Mark Zuckerberg, is gearing up to battle an antitrust lawsuit.
What Happened: Meta is bracing for a legal showdown with the U.S. government&#8217;s antitrust watchdogs on Monday. The impending case, to be heard in a Washington court, could result in Zuckerberg being forced to divest Instagram, one of Meta&#8217;s most valuable assets.
This lawsuit has the potential to disrupt Meta&#8217;s dominance in the tech industry.
The U.S. government&#8217;s case against Meta is largely built on claims by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that Facebook, Meta&#8217;s flagship social media platform, leveraged its monopoly power to acquire rather than compete with smaller social media rivals, reports <a href="https://www.theverge.com/policy/646828/meta-ftc-antitrust-trial-preview-instagram-whatsapp">the</a> Verge.
According to the FTC, these acquisitions bolstered Meta&#8217;s ability to track&nbsp;its users across the internet&nbsp;and monopolize the online advertising market.
A spokesperson for Meta has disputed the FTC&#8217;s lawsuit, arguing that it&nbsp;mischaracterizes Facebook as a monopolist&nbsp;by overlooking its main competitors in the social media market. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44209921/meta-secretly-keeps-block-lists-of-ex-employee-former-google-hr-chief-calls-it-unheard-of">Meta Secretly Keeps &#8216;Block&#8217; Lists of Ex-Employee, Former Google HR Chief Calls It &#8216;Unheard Of&#8217;</a>
The spokesperson underscored that&nbsp;Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp compete&nbsp;with a multitude of other platforms, including TikTok, YouTube, and iMessage.
The FTC initially&nbsp;filed its complaint against Facebook&nbsp;during President Trump's first term.&nbsp;The case was initially dismissed but was later accepted when an amended complaint&nbsp;was refiled during former President&nbsp;Biden's administration.
Regulators are now advocating for the judge to reestablish fair competition in the personal social networking services market by ordering the divestment of Instagram and a court-ordered spin-off of Meta&#8217;s messaging service, WhatsApp.
Emarketer has revealed that Instagram contributed $32 billion to Meta&#8217;s U.S. ad revenue in 2024, accounting for&nbsp;48.4% of its $1.3 trillion&nbsp;in total revenue. Consequently, a divestment of Instagram would significantly affect Meta&#8217;s bottom line.
Why It Matters: This lawsuit comes at a time when tech giants are facing increased scrutiny over their business practices. The outcome of this case could set a precedent for future antitrust cases in the tech industry. 
Furthermore, the potential divestment of Instagram and WhatsApp could drastically alter the landscape of social media and online advertising, impacting both users and advertisers.

Mark Zuckerberg's Empire in Jeopardy as Meta Faces Antitrust Battle in Court

In a recent interview, NBA legend Shaquille O&#8217;Neal shared his financial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/42026306/nba-legend-shaqs-daughter-breaks-silence-on-dads-career-defying-family-expectations-its-a-no-go-for-me">advice and money-saving tips</a>.
What Happened: The NBA superstar, who has amassed an estimated $700 million throughout his illustrious career, underscored the significance of saving.
Shaq&#8217;s personal wallet includes a license, law enforcement badge, credit card, and a cherished photo of him with his mother. 
He also shared some wisdom for business owners, emphasizing the need for due diligence, seeking advice, and taking decisive action.
In the interview <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/select/shaquille-oneal-money-saving-advice/">with</a> CNBC, Shaq said, &#8220;It&#8217;s not about how much you make, it&#8217;s about how much you keep,&#8221; and recommended saving as much as 75% of earnings.
&#8220;If saving 75% of your income is out-of-reach, consider the 50/30/20 rule, which provides more flexibility. This rule suggests you split up your after-tax income so 50% is spent on needs, 30% on wants and 20% on savings. As your earning change, you can make adjustments and increase savings,&#8221; he added.

Shaq, who has transitioned from the basketball court to the boardroom as a successful entrepreneur, is a board member at&nbsp;Papa John&#8217;s&nbsp;and owns several Auntie Anne&#8217;s restaurants. 
He further advised that a portion of every paycheck should be saved, even if it&#8217;s a small amount.
&#8220;Putting $100 from each paycheck into Marcus, assuming you get paid biweekly, would allow you to earn $8 in interest after a year, and $198 after five years. The more money you save each paycheck, the more your savings will grow,&#8221; Shaq said. 
He also recommended using high-yield savings accounts that earn compound interest,&nbsp;like Marcus by Goldman Sachs&nbsp;High Yield Online Savings, as a strategy to grow savings over time.
Why It Matters: Shaq&#8217;s financial advice comes from his own experience of building a successful business empire post his NBA career. 
His emphasis on saving and investing wisely is a testament to his financial acumen and business success. His advice is particularly relevant in today&#8217;s uncertain economic climate, where financial security is paramount. 
The NBA legend&#8217;s tips could serve as a valuable guide for those looking to manage their finances effectively.

Shaq's Financial Wisdom: 'It's Not What You Make, It's What You Keep' — And What's in His Wallet Might Surprise You

Dave Ramsey has educated millions of people about their finances through his books and "The Ramsey Show." He is an advocate for getting rid of debt and using cash to finance as much as you can. He recently shared a video clip in an <a href="https://x.com/DaveRamsey/status/1908584849083875393">X post</a> that covers a key detail about financial success.&nbsp;
"Success is a pile of all the mistakes you've made, and you're standing on it rather than laying under it," the radio host explained.&nbsp;

<ul>
<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>
It's normal to make mistakes, but we only get better from them if we learn from them. Ramsey has spoken with many callers who made mistakes with their finances. Some of those callers recovered while others continued to make the same mistakes. Here's how you can stand on your pile of mistakes instead of getting buried by them.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Accept That You Have To Change</h2>
You can only avoid making the same mistakes over and over again if you accept that you have to change. Being comfortable with change and opening yourself up to improvement makes it easier to correct previous financial woes.
Once you become flexible to the idea of change, you have to figure out which change will lead to the most progress. Ramsey has suggested that people cut up their credit cards and stop using them if they are deep in debt. He also believes in the debt snowball method, an approach where you pay off your smaller debt first to build momentum.
Trending: These five entrepreneurs are worth $223 billion –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-homes-private-credit-fund"> they all believe in one platform that offers a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Think About Where You Will Be If You Don't Change</h2>
A deep credit card debt and no money in savings may feel surpassable when you are in your early 20s. However, if you continue this route, it can have dire consequences. Ramsey has had calls with people in their 60s and 70s who have to continue working because Social Security isn't enough and they have no savings.
The decisions you make will compound in the long run. People who continue to spend frivolously won't have money left when they need it the most. People can't work forever, especially in physically demanding jobs. A financial safety net makes it easier to retire and gives you more options.
Making the same mistakes likely won't lead to a good path. You may fall short of critical financial goals and find yourself making uncomfortable sacrifices later in life. You can either have short-term pain for long-term gain or wind up with short-term gain for long-term pain. It's better to make sacrifices now than later, and part of that is correcting your mistakes.
Envision how your life will look if you correct your mistakes compared to how it will look if you ignore your weaknesses. Keeping those two scenarios in mind can help you take the necessary actions to get back on track.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Building Good Habits</h2>
Making mistakes not only teaches you what to avoid but also helps you develop good habits. For instance, someone who makes impulsive purchases can adopt the 30-day rule before buying non-essentials.&nbsp;
People who follow this rule wait until 30 days before they make a purchase. If it's not an essential item, you will forget about the purchase or opt against it. However, if you still want to buy something after thinking about it for 30 days, the item holds some value.
Working on your credit card debt can also lead to good money habits like setting a budget and reviewing your expenses at the end of each month. These habits can help you cut unnecessary expenses like unused subscriptions.

These Mid-Cap Stocks Outshone The Market Volatility Last Week (Apr 7-Apr 11): Are These In Your Portfolio?

Over $3 billion worth of&nbsp;XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) was traded within a single day, marking a significant recovery for the digital asset after a challenging week.
What Happened: According to <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/xrp/">data</a> from CoinMarketCap, the XRP has been steadily regaining key support levels. The digital asset rebounded from a low of $1.94 on Friday to $2.06 on Saturday, marking a 2.63% increase within 24 hours.
Friday&#8217;s trading session saw a transfer of 200 million XRP, worth approximately $402.7 million, from&nbsp;Ripple&nbsp;to an undisclosed wallet. 
This follows a February spike in XRP&#8217;s realized cap, which&nbsp;nearly doubled from $30.1 billion&nbsp;to $64.2 billion, largely driven by new investors.
Currently,&nbsp;around 6 million old supply&nbsp;accounts for 62.8% of XRP&#8217;s realized cap, a significant increase from just&nbsp;23%. This rapid concentration in&nbsp;new holdings indicates strong retail activity but also highlights potential fragility due to elevated cost bases.

The coming days will be&nbsp;crucial for XRP, with focus on inflows and volume. If the upward momentum continues, XRP&nbsp;may attempt to reclaim resistance&nbsp;levels. However, if momentum slows,&nbsp;XRP may remain in consolidation&nbsp;until its next major move.
Why It Matters: Ripple Labs and the U.S.&nbsp;Securities and Exchange Commission have&nbsp;jointly filed a request to&nbsp;suspend their respective appeals while&nbsp;they &#8220;pursue a negotiated resolution&#8221;&nbsp;of their ongoing case. 
This move could potentially impact XRP&#8217;s market performance in the coming days, adding another layer of complexity to the digital asset&#8217;s future trajectory.

These Large-Cap Stocks With China And EU Exposure Got Crushed In The One Of The Most Volatile Trading Week (Apr 7-Apr 11): Are These In Your Portfolio?

The Trump family has made substantial investments in the cryptocurrency industry.
What Happened: The Trumps&#8217; crypto investments span a wide range, including nonfungible tokens (NFTs), a decentralized finance project, a proposed stablecoin, Bitcoin mining, and a couple of meme coins. 
The investments are overseen by President Donald Trump&#8216;s two eldest sons and Allen Weisselberg, the long-serving CFO of Trump&#8217;s real estate company. Their collective projects are reportedly&nbsp;approaching $1 billion in paper&nbsp;gains, as per a recent&nbsp;Bloomberg&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-12/how-the-trump-family-invests-in-crypto-from-world-liberty-to-memecoins-to-nfts?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">report</a>.
Donald Trump&#8217;s stance on&nbsp;the digital asset industry has&nbsp;seen a significant shift since his initial skepticism. He has issued executive orders to position the US as the global crypto hub, appointed industry representatives, and actively promoted his memecoin on Truth Social.
The Trump family&#8217;s crypto project, World Liberty Financial, has garnered&nbsp;$550 million in token sales. The family holds&nbsp;60% of the equity share&nbsp;of&nbsp;World Liberty through their company&nbsp;DT Marks DeFi LLC.

</ul>
Despite the Trumps&#8217; active promotion of the project, there have been concerns raised about potential conflicts of interest, considering the administration&#8217;s influence over regulations.
Earlier this year, Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp.&nbsp;applied to trademark brands for&nbsp;investment products, including a &#8220;Truth.Fi Bitcoin Plus ETF.&#8221; The company intends to collaborate&nbsp;with Crypto.com to launch the&nbsp;ETF.
World Liberty Financial also disclosed plans to introduce its own dollar-tracking stablecoin named USD1. The Trump family is also planning&nbsp;to launch a Bitcoin mining-focused&nbsp;venture with Hut 8 Corp.
Why It Matters: The Trump family&#8217;s significant foray into the crypto industry marks a major shift in their investment strategy, reflecting the growing acceptance of digital assets among traditional investors. 
However, the potential conflicts of interest arising from their influence over regulations could pose challenges to the integrity of the crypto market.

Trump Family Deepens Crypto Ties With Nearly $1 Billion on the Line

Peter Buffett, the son of long-term investing legend&nbsp;Warren Buffett, made a life-changing decision nearly 50 years ago when he traded his inheritance &#8220;to buy time.&#8221; Although he missed out on what could have been hundreds of millions of dollars in profit, he stands by his choice, confident that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/warren-buffett">his father would agree.</a>
Finding His Path:&nbsp;At 19, Buffett received a portion of the proceeds from the sale of his grandfather's farm, which his father invested in Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brk-a#NYSE">BRK-A</a>) (NYSE:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brk-b#NYSE">BRK-B</a>), amounting to $90,000, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/07/warren-buffett-son-doesnt-regret-spending-berkshire-stock-he-got-at-19-worth-200-million-now.html?utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=facebook&amp;fbclid=IwAR2ltNtAQUUEhAViImalKNS2NdjCrlgyZxhj00Z4cr2TZQJm1mqBy-thwSY">CNBC</a>. His father made it clear that this was all the financial support he would receive for personal use. Despite knowing it was his entire inheritance, the legendary investor&#8217;s son sold his Berkshire stock to fund his passion for music.
Buffett dropped out of Stanford University, purchased a modest studio apartment in San Francisco, and invested in upgrading his recording equipment. He dedicated his time to honing his piano and music production skills.

</ul>
His big break came unexpectedly when a neighbor asked him about his profession, setting him on the path to a successful career in music.
He told the neighbor that he was a "struggling composer" and the neighbor offered to introduce him to his son-in-law who was an animator looking for ad tunes for a new cable station — it turned out to be&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mtv">MTV</a>.&nbsp;
Buffett is now 66 years of age and has released around 15&nbsp;studio albums over his successful career.&nbsp;
The Path Not Taken:&nbsp;If the son of the legendary investor would have stayed in college and held onto his $90,000&nbsp;investment in Berkshire Hathaway, it would be worth over $500 million today.&nbsp;
"But I didn&#8217;t make that choice and I don&#8217;t regret it for a second.&nbsp;I used my nest egg to buy something infinitely more valuable than money: I used it to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31687018/couple-uses-huge-airbnb-profits-to-buy-time-they-only-spend-1-hour-working-per-week">buy time</a>," Buffett said.
That's a decision that his father would be proud of, he noted. The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/billionaires">billionaire</a>&nbsp;taught his son that work isn't about making as much money as possible, instead it's about doing something that you love to do.
Buffett acknowledged that the money was a privilege, calling it a gift that he had not earned.
&#8220;Without those hundreds of unpaid hours spent fiddling with my recording gear, I would not have found my sound or approach," Buffett said.
The musician used the money to buy time to pursue something that he enjoys waking up and doing&nbsp;each day, which is exactly what his father tells young people to do. The billionaire has previously recommended that people pursue careers they would want even if money was not part of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31592697/if-you-want-to-move-forward-and-make-better-decisions-you-need-to-remember-these-3-words">decision-making process</a>.&nbsp;

Warren Buffett's Son Sold His Berkshire Stock Inheritance To Buy Something 'Infinitely More Valuable' Than The $500 Million It Would Be Worth Today

The Emotional Battle Within the Financial Markets
Humans are creatures of survival. Thousands of years ago, our ancestors fought daily for food, water, and shelter—essentials that determined life or death. Our brains became hardwired to protect these resources, and when they were taken away, the emotional pain was immense—far greater than the joy of obtaining them.
Psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky coined this phenomenon as loss aversion—a principle in behavioral economics showing that the emotional impact of losing money is about twice as powerful as the joy of gaining it. This survival instinct still runs through us, hardwired from ancient times. And when it bleeds into the financial markets—where rational decision-making is crucial—it can become dangerous.

</ul>
It only takes one irrational moment to destroy weeks, months, even years of progress. I've been there.
The Early Days: Curiosity Over Cash
I entered the markets in 2019–2020, during the chaos of COVID. But money wasn't what drew me in. It was the game.
Before I ever looked at charts or watched economic news, I was trading items in video games—"Team Fortress 2," and "Counter Strike." I'd challenge myself to start with something small and trade my way up to a higher-value item. Sometimes I'd win, sometimes I'd lose, but it built a foundation. I loved the strategy behind it, the negotiation, the edge you could find.
When I discovered financial markets, it felt like an extension of that. Only this time, the stakes were real.
Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
Early Success&#8230; and the Trap It Set
Like many during that time, I got lucky early on. The markets were in a historic bull run. I made gains, consistently. That consistency gave me a false sense of security. Without knowing it, I was programming my brain to believe I'd always win. I didn't care about volatility. I didn't care about risk. I didn't even have a system.
I thought I knew what I was doing. I didn't.
When Reality Hit
The 2021–2022 inflation crisis was the wake-up call.
I was heavily involved in crypto and had entered Ethereum early. As the markets started to unravel, the pain of losing was far more intense than any of the highs I felt from winning. I began holding onto positions, not because it made sense, but because I couldn't accept being wrong. I didn't want to admit that the market had changed. I didn't want to let go of the identity I built during the bull run.
And that's the danger of trading without emotional discipline. The market doesn't care how much conviction you have. It doesn't care about your feelings or how badly you want to be right. If you don't adapt, it will punish you.
I watched a large portion of my gains disappear because I held, and held, and held. Not because I had a plan—but because I was emotionally attached.
See Also: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
The Lesson
So what's the takeaway?
You&#8217;re human. You&#8217;re going to make mistakes. You're going to have moments where you believe so deeply in a setup or investment that you ignore the warning signs. That's okay—if you have a framework that keeps you grounded.
Ask yourself:
<ul>
<li>Has something fundamentally changed?</li>
<li>Is my original thesis still valid, and if it's not, do I have a pre-determined risk?</li>
<li>What does the data say, not my emotions?</li>
</ul>
And above all, manage your risk. You&#8217;re going to be wrong. That's guaranteed. But if you have a systematic way to protect your capital when you are, you get to survive. You get to fight another day.
The emotional battle in the markets is real. But the ones who win aren't the ones who avoid emotions—they&#8217;re the ones who understand them, and learn to act in spite of them.

The Pain of Letting Go: 'I Lost It All' — A Trader's Story Through the Crypto Downturn

Cryptocurrency Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is outpacing the S&amp;P 500 during the ongoing market panic, according to Jamie Coutts, chief crypto analyst at Real Vision.
What Happened:&nbsp;Coutts noted Bitcoin&#8217;s&nbsp;relatively lower level of correction, despite its typical volatility, compared to its historical price fluctuations.
In a post on X on Saturday, Coutts stated, &#8220;BTC with 2.5x the volatility&nbsp;of the S&amp;P&nbsp;500 experienced a drawdown of&nbsp;28% vs. the S&amp;P&nbsp;500's 19%. That is a&nbsp;massive OUTPERFORMANCE.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

He suggested that this could be an indication of Bitcoin&#8217;s resilience and the growing instability&nbsp;of the fiat system and&nbsp;its asset markets. According to Coutts, Bitcoin is reflecting this deterioration.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $83,227, further solidifying its position as a strong contender in the financial market.
Why It Matters: Coutts&#8217; analysis points towards an increasing importance of Bitcoin in the global financial landscape. He anticipates that Bitcoin&#8217;s role&nbsp;as a global settlement layer&nbsp;and collateral asset will speed up. 
&#8220;What&nbsp;is happening right now is&nbsp;epic. Things are breaking&#8230;&nbsp;this time it will be&nbsp;nation states,&#8221; he said, hinting at the potential for a significant shift in the global economic order.

Bitcoin Outperforms S&P 500 Amid Market Turmoil, Says This Analyst

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto">Cryptocurrency is still riding</a> a wave of volatility, but that's never been a deal-breaker for young investors. Even as prices fluctuate and regulators weigh in, interest in crypto remains strong — especially among Gen Z. Coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana continue to make headlines, and despite the ups and downs, many younger investors are keeping them in their portfolios as long-term plays rather than short-term wins.
A new <a href="https://business.yougov.com/content/51507-us-investment-trends-report-2025">report</a> from YouGov shows that Gen Z is more likely than any other generation to invest in 2025, even though they're aware of the risks. In fact, 84% of Gen Z investors say they see crypto as risky, but nearly 65% still plan to invest in it this year. That tells us something important: Gen Z isn't avoiding risk — they're trying to manage it more intelligently.
Unlike older generations, who tend to stick with more traditional strategies like long-term index funds or working with financial advisors, Gen Z is more DIY in their approach. They're turning to platforms that offer fractional shares, low-fee trades and educational tools that help them understand what they're buying. They're also more open to exploring alternative assets — from crypto and ETFs to things like digital collectibles and real estate crowdfunding.
So why crypto, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/24/12/42470479/financial-advisor-calls-stocks-dinosaur-bones-but-likes-some-etfs">even when the risk </a>is clear? For many younger investors, it's about potential. Crypto represents a chance to grow wealth in a system that feels outside the status quo. It also fits into a larger trend of digital-first investing, where convenience, access, and values (like decentralization or tech innovation) play a more significant role than traditional performance metrics alone.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/24/12/42470479/financial-advisor-calls-stocks-dinosaur-bones-but-likes-some-etfs">Financial advisors like Tyrone Ross Jr.</a> are seeing that shift firsthand. Ross encourages younger investors to prioritize education over hype, especially when it comes to volatile assets like Bitcoin. He's less concerned about whether Bitcoin hits $100K or more and more focused on helping people invest intentionally — without getting caught in high fees or short-term thinking.
The bottom line? Gen Z is leaning in — not just into crypto but into investing as a whole. They're cautious, curious and more informed than ever. And while their portfolios might look a little different from their parents', their goals are familiar: build wealth, stay flexible and make decisions that align with their values.

Gold Related Large-Cap Stocks Outperformed In One Of The Most Volatile Weeks (Apr 7-Apr 11): Are These In Your Portfolio?

Amid market turbulence, legendary investor Charlie Munger once offered his perspective, urging investors to remain steadfast and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43903504/charlie-mungers-financial-success-and-longevity-advice-my-game-in-life-was-always-to-avoid-all-standard-ways-of-failing">focused on long-term fundamentals.</a>
What Happened: Following President Donald Trump&#8216;s declaration of extensive tariffs, the S&amp;P 500 momentarily slipped into bear territory. However, Trump later instituted a 90-day halt&nbsp;on tariffs exceeding 10% for&nbsp;certain countries, while escalating duties on Chinese goods to 125%. This resulted in the S&amp;P 500 surging over 9% on the day.
Munger, the former vice-chairman of&nbsp;Berkshire Hathaway, consistently asserted that significant fluctuations in stock prices are a standard aspect of investing. He once expressed to a BBC <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XlBrohrIUc">interviewer</a>,&nbsp;&#8220;I think it&#8217;s in the&nbsp;nature of long-term shareholding that&nbsp;the normal vicissitudes in markets&nbsp;means that the long-term holder&nbsp;has the quoted value of&nbsp;his stocks go down by,&nbsp;say, 50%.&#8221;
He further stressed that if investors are not prepared to withstand periodic market downturns,&nbsp;&#8220;you&#8217;re not fit to be&nbsp;a common shareholder, and you&nbsp;deserve the mediocre result you&#8217;re&nbsp;going to get compared to&nbsp;the people who can be&nbsp;more philosophical about these market&nbsp;fluctuations.&#8221;
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44450390/charlie-mungers-investment-wisdom-if-people-werent-so-often-wrong-we-wouldnt-be-so-rich">Charlie Munger&#8217;s Investment Wisdom: &#8216;If People Weren&#8217;t So Often Wrong, We Wouldn&#8217;t Be So Rich&#8217;</a>
During periods of market instability and volatility, Munger advised investors to stay committed and persist in purchasing stocks through downturns. He was of the belief that major drawdowns were infrequent opportunities to amass wealth.&nbsp;&#8220;When you get a lollapalooza,&nbsp;for God&#8217;s sakes, don&#8217;t hang&nbsp;by like a timid little&nbsp;rabbit,&#8221; Munger advised. &#8220;Don&#8217;t hang back.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Munger&#8217;s advice is particularly relevant in the current climate of market volatility. His philosophy of staying the course during market downturns and taking advantage of major drawdowns to build wealth could be a valuable strategy for investors navigating these uncertain times. 
His belief that&nbsp;large swings in stock prices&nbsp;are a normal part of investing serves as a reminder to investors to remain patient and committed in the face of market fluctuations.

Charlie Munger Says Investors Who Can't Handle Market Volatility 'Deserve the Mediocre Result'

President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration has disclosed a wellness report for a Maryland man who was erroneously deported to El Salvador. The report is part of a court-ordered daily update.
What Happened: The U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis has mandated that the White House provide daily updates on the condition of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Garcia is currently detained in El Salvador&#8217;s high-security CECOT prison following his deportation due to an &#8220;administrative error.&#8221;
Michael Kozack, a high-ranking&nbsp;official at the State Department,&nbsp;confirmed in a Saturday filing that Garcia is &#8220;alive and secure&#8221; in the prison. This information was reportedly&nbsp;based on official reporting from&nbsp;the U.S. Embassy in San&nbsp;Salvador.
According to the report <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5246445-trump-administration-says-man-mistakenly-deported-to-el-salvador-is-alive-and-secure-in-first-update/">by</a> The Hill, Garcia&#8217;s legal team has proposed that the federal government be held accountable for delaying efforts to bring their client back to the U.S. Despite the Trump administration&#8217;s stance that the president cannot be compelled to arrange Garcia&#8217;s return, the Supreme Court upheld Judge Xinis&#8217; ruling that U.S. officials must &#8220;facilitate&#8221; his return.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43420568/its-going-to-be-impossible-experts-doubt-feasibility-of-trumps-deportation-plan-experts-estimate-nearly-1-trillion-spend-in-10-yearspresident-donald-trumps-pledge-t">&#8216;It&#8217;s Going To Be Impossible&#8217;: Experts Doubt Feasibility Of Trump&#8217;s Deportation Plan — Experts Estimate Nearly $1 Trillion Spend In 10 Years</a>
The attorneys representing Garcia have submitted a proposed order requesting that the federal government formally request Garcia&#8217;s&nbsp;release to U.S. custody through&nbsp;CECOT, prepare all necessary paperwork for his return, provide personnel to accompany him during his travel, and arrange air transportation for him to return to Maryland.
Why It Matters: This incident underscores the potential consequences of administrative errors in immigration procedures. It also highlights the ongoing debate about the extent of the president&#8217;s power in such matters, with the Supreme Court ruling in this case potentially setting a precedent for future cases. 
The case also raises questions about the conditions and treatment of deportees in foreign prisons, and the role of the U.S. government in ensuring their safety.

Musk's Warning, Harley-Davidson's Boardroom Drama, Tesla's New Trim, EV Sales Surge, And More: This Week In Mobility

President Donald Trump's tariffs against America's trading partners and the subsequent retaliatory measures from China and Europe resulted in major losses for investors across the globe, with no end to volatility in sight. Trade tensions may ease amid expected deals between key countries, but prudent investors are rethinking their long-term strategies.
Dividend stocks have gained significance in this period of market turbulence because of their strong history. A March <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/documents/research/research-sp500-dividend-aristocrats.pdf">report</a> from S&amp;P Global showed that dividends have accounted for about 31% of the total S&amp;P 500 returns since 1926.

A few weeks ago, a dividend investor<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1jic07f/retired_in_2021/"> shared</a> his income report and portfolio details on r/Dividends — a Reddit community with over 700,000 followers. The portfolio screenshots shared by the investor showed he was making about $9,250 per month, or $111,100 annually, in dividends. His total portfolio yield was about 2.3%.&nbsp;
"Dividends and interest cover 60% of expenses. Decent growth without huge volatility," he said.
The investor, 58, said he was a software engineer in Silicon Valley and retired in 2021. He said his goal is to cover his expenses of $15,000 per month with dividends by 2030.&nbsp;
"YOLO'd tech stocks in my IRA," the investor said, referring to the social media slang for taking a bold, high-risk approach.
