‼️ Nvidia CEO says 2025–2030 may be the key window to build wealth from AI

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the current AI boom could create major wealth in the next few years, before the industry becomes harder to enter once the infrastructure is fully built.

He also noted that future millionaires may not come mainly from traditional office careers. As AI automates more digital work, practical skills and real-world problem solving could gain value.

Huang pointed to trades such as electricians, plumbers, and mechanics as roles that are harder to automate.

The shift could reshape which types of work benefit most from the AI economy.

£100,000 invested in the MSCI World for 20 years ends very differently depending on fees:

🖱 £300,000 with a 0.3% fee
🖱 £250,000 with a 1.3% fee
🖱 £200,000 with a 2.3% fee

Same market.
Same returns.

Only the fee changes.

One decision quietly costs about £100,000.

💰Trump administration to receive $10B fee from TikTok U.S. deal

Investors taking control of TikTok’s U.S. business agreed to pay the U.S. government about $10B as part of the deal that shifted the platform’s American operations away from ByteDance.

Backers of the new U.S. entity include Oracle, Silver Lake, and Abu Dhabi investor MGX. Around $2.5B was paid to the Treasury when the deal closed in January, with additional payments planned until the total reaches $10B.

The new TikTok U.S. company is valued at about $14B and will still share profits with ByteDance, which licensed its algorithm and keeps nearly a 20% stake.

Such a fee for brokering a corporate transaction is highly unusual for a government.
