30 Under 30 Grows Up

Exactly ten years ago, Forbes produced a new list, the 30 Under 30, that proved perfect for the times. It highlighted young disruptors and innovators at the exact moment the “technology industry” ceased to exist. Every single industry, of course, underwent tech-driven change, with the digital natives—those born in the 1980s and then the ’90s—driving it. Forbes readers therefore learned early about Vlad Tenev and Robinhood, Whitney Wolfe Herd and Bumble, Zhang Yiming and ByteDance. Future Nobel Peace Prize winners (Malala Yousafzai), future pop-entrepreneurs (Rihanna), future billionaires (too many to name), all chronicled in their flight’s takeoff stage. “It felt like getting drafted into the big leagues,” says Dropbox cofounder Drew Houston of making the list. We began convening these young superstars at Under 30 Summits globally and connecting them digitally.…

Biden’s Vaccine Diktat Is Wrong

The Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has temporarily blocked President Biden’s sweeping vaccine mandate. As a result, OSHA has backed off enforcing it. The case is now in the hands of another appeals court. Ultimately, the issue will go to the Supreme Court, which will throw out this executive order—and rightly so. Last September President Biden issued an executive order to force private-sector companies with 100 or more employees to have their workers get vaccinated or be tested weekly and wear face masks. Noncompliant employers could face fines of more than $13,000 per violation. Such a sweeping order would set a dreadful precedent. For instance, what would stop future decrees from banning or limiting the sale and consumption of sugary sodas in the name of fighting the scourge of obesity? Not to…

THE FORBES 2021 ALL-STAR EATERIES IN NEW YORK

The best thing for the future of Big Apple restaurants is the city’s new mayor, Eric Adams, who actually likes the industry and delights in dining out. He’s the happy antithesis of his lazy, nasty, utterly inept, chip-on-the-shoulder predecessor, Bill de Blasio, who took grim joy in making life unnecessarily more miserable for eateries during the pandemic. Adams, who wants his city to thrive again, is also well aware of how critical this industry is to such a renaissance. Fine dining in places with traditional and excitingly creative offerings was a crucial attraction for tourists of all kinds, not to mention one of the things that made Gotham a magnet for the ambitious. Our stellar team of discerning tasters—Forbes’ chief content officer, Randall Lane; Forbes contributor Richard Nalley; preeminent media…

THE FORBES 2021 ALL-STAR EATERIES IN NEW YORK

CLASS OF 2012 Daniel Ek THEN: His music streaming experiment Spotify had just entered the U.S. and had 10 million active users and was worth $2 billion. NOW: Today (see page 104), Spotify streams 70 million songs to nearly 400 million users across 184 markets. It’s worth $50 billion; Ek is worth $4.4 billion. Drew Houston THEN: Dropbox, the file storage and sharing company that Houston cofounded in 2007 at age 24, was already one of Silicon Valley’s hottest startups, with 200 million users. NOW: A billionaire since 2014, Houston is still CEO of Dropbox, which went public in 2018 and has a $10 billion market cap; the company says it has more than 700 million registered users. LeBron James THEN: The Miami Heat forward, then 27, was an NBA all-star and owned a small stake in the…

CHINA Tse Ping fronts Forbes China’s list of the country’s 100 richest people. His $7.5 billion fortune comes from founding Hong Kong–listed Sino Biopharmaceutical, which gained FDA approval this year for an injection to fight chemotherapy nausea.

BILBO BAGS A BILLION

Hobbits stand no more than four feet tall but carry the power to “shape the fortunes of us all.” So says royal elf Galadriel at the start of the first Lord of the Rings movie. That has certainly proven true for Peter Jackson. The director of that beloved trilogy and the later Hobbit films, Jackson became a billionaire in November when he sold the tech unit of his Weta Digital visual-effects house to video-game software maker Unity Software for about $1.6 billion. The deal piled some $975 million in cash and stock onto his three decades of Hollywood earnings, giving him an estimated net worth of $1.5 billion. It also sent Unity’s stock up 15% in a week, boosting the fortunes of its two billionaire cofounders, Iceland-born David Helgason and German…

BONEYARD BONANZA

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory author Roald Dahl punched his golden ticket to the hereafter more than three decades ago, but the streaming revolution has given him new life. In September, his estate chose Netflix as his final destination, selling the Roald Dahl Story Company to the digital-content giant. The sale vaulted the James and the Giant Peach scribe to the top of our annual ranking of the highest-earning dead celebs for the first time. For full methodology and much more, see forbes.com. 1. Roald Dahl $513 million (d. 1990)2. Prince $120 million (d. 2016)3. Michael Jackson $75 million (d. 2009)4. Charles Schulz $40 million (d. 2000)5. Dr. Seuss $35 million (d. 1991)6.

Like a Mule Bringing Ice Cream to the Sun By Sarah Ladipo Manyika As Morayo Da Silva nears age 75, she plans to get a tattoo to celebrate. Yet the DMV seems intent on taking her driver’s license away. When she injures her hip, her independence is further compromised. Still, the retired English professor is sure she still has many possible futures. Displacement is a recurring theme in the deliberate and eloquent Like a Mule (Legend Press and Cassava Republic Press, 2016). Morayo’s relationships appear tenuous, and she’s adjusting to an aging body that correlates less and less with who she knows herself to be. Another character is newly homeless. A third is navigating his wife’s worsening dementia. But if displacement looms large, the desire to connect is there to counterbalance it.…

Just 29, cryptocurrency exchange cofounder Sam Bankman-Fried, cover star of our October/November issue, has amassed a fortune topped at that age solely by Mark Zuckerberg. At the time of publication, Bankman-Fried was worth $22.5 billion (good for No. 32 on his Forbes 400 debut; after another huge funding round he’s worth $4 billion more). That’s due entirely to his exchange, FTX, and his relative lack of liquid assets helps explain why he hasn’t yet poured much into “effective altruism” (the utilitarian notion of doing the most good possible), which he cites as his impetus for getting rich in the first place. Readers marveled: “Money being made so fast, only a matter of years before we see the first trillionaire,” said @ricardozz7 on Instagram. They gave the side-eye to Bankman-Fried’s own…

Boys in the Bubble

In March 2020, as Covid-19 began to spread, OpenSea founders Devin Finzer and Alex Atallah held a gut-check phone call. Their five-person startup had built a platform on which users could create, buy and sell all sorts of nonfungible tokens (NFTs)—computer files used to track ownership of unique digital assets like art and music on a ledger known as a blockchain. Yet 26 months after going live, they had just 4,000 active users doing $1.1 million in transactions a month, which translated (given OpenSea’s 2.5% sales commission) to a paltry $28,000 in monthly revenue. The NFT market had a “dead feeling,” recalls CTO Atallah, who conducted his side of the call from the basement of his parents’ Colorado home, where he had gone to work as New York locked down.…

Boys in the Bubble

BOOM BURST BOOM

Things were looking frothy when we warned of “the great cryptocurrency bubble of 2017.” The combined market capitalization of cryptocurrencies had ballooned 870% to more than $100 billion in just 12 months—more than six times the stock market’s rise during the height of the 1990s dotcom bubble. “Buckle up for more blowups, more Mt. Gox–type fiascoes and tens of billions in losses for the people who are gambling in an area where there is precious little to protect them. The smart money, meanwhile, should do fine, vulnerable only to its own hubris. ‘Everyone’s like, token sales are complete madness right now,’ [crypto investor Olaf] Carlson-Wee says. ‘I don’t think we’ve seen anything relative to how big this could be.’”—Forbes, July 27, 2017 Spot on. The bubble burst within six months, but it…

Culture, People, Teamwork: 84 Lumber’s Maggie Hardy Knox On The Secrets Of Success

84 Lumber is the nation’s largest privately owned supplier of building materials, manufactured components and industry-leading services for single- and multi-family residences and commercial buildings—and one of the best large companies to work for in America, according to Forbes. A family business founded in 1956, 84 Lumber is celebrating its 65th anniversary this year. In an interview with Forbes, company president Maggie Hardy Knox discussed what makes her organization unique, how to weather hard times and profit from good, the advantages of family ownership and more. What’s the secret to 84 Lumber’s success? Three things: our culture, our people and our team-based competitive environment. Our steady organic growth is attributable to this culture. We’ve gone from over a billion dollars in sales in 1993, when I took the reins, to $4.7 billion in…

Culture, People, Teamwork: 84 Lumber’s Maggie Hardy Knox On The Secrets Of Success

EQT Corp. is a venerable player in the energy business, going back 133 years to the earliest days of gas drilling in Pennsylvania, with headquarters in a granite-and-glass tower in Pittsburgh. But you’d never guess that from a visit to the offce of Toby Z. Rice, its 39-year-old chief executive. Rice works out of a converted taekwondo studio upstairs from a state-run liquor store in suburban Carnegie, Pennsylvania, 15 minutes away from the city center. The dojo features a life-sized Iron Man sporting a gorilla mask on its head, graffti-inspired art and a “Don’t Tread on Me” Gadsden flag. How did this unconventional Millennial end up running the country’s largest producer of natural gas? By teaming up with family, lucking into the Marcellus shale formation at the right time and making…

Own a piece of the midstream via a fund that contains shares of companies transporting fuel, mostly underground. Of course, in 50 years nothing will be left of this fossilized business, but in the meantime there are nice dividends. Tortoise North American Pipeline (annual expense 0.4%) yields 4.5%. Hold it in a taxable account, where you can get some mileage out of the fact that more than half the distribution is not immediately taxable. This fund is a better choice than the more popular Alerian MLP (0.9%), which suffers from a stiffer management fee and a potential corporate tax liability. William Baldwin is Forbes’ Investment Strategies columnist.…

Just two years ago, exporting American liquefied natural gas (LNG), most of it produced by fracking, was a terrible business, with most exporters barely breaking even. Now, thanks to a pandemic-induced energy crisis, it’s a license to print money. Here’s what the profit margins are at three major import destinations. TOKYO 2019 LNG price: $6/MCF* November 2021: $34/MCF Current gross profit per tanker: $87 million ISLE OF GRAIN, U.K. 2019 LNG price: $5.1/MCF November 2021: $32/MCF Current gross profit per tanker: $80 million DAHEJ, INDIA 2019 LNG price: $5.7/MCF November 2021: $34/MCF Current gross profit per tanker: $87 million * November spot price or nearest future.

Harold J. Bowen III has competed in so many triathlons he has lost count. At age 59, he’s training for his twelfth Escape from Alcatraz race, which means that next June he will swim 1.5 miles across San Francisco Bay, ride a bike 18 miles to Golden Gate Park and run eight miles to Marina Green. Bowen describes his endurance-sports obsession as a “productive addiction,” because many years ago he realized that exercise would help him combat his attention deficit disorder. “I will keep at it as long as I’m walking,” insists Bowen, lean and tall with a slight Southern accent. As the sole asset manager of Tampa, Florida’s firefighters’ and police offcers’ $2.7 billion pension fund, Bowen has staked his success on focus and stamina. His firm—Bowen, Hanes & Company—is not…

Many valuable tech companies are hiding in plain sight, masquerading as stodgy industrial firms. The best way to play this trend is Schlumberger, the giant oil-well services conglomerate. Since 2017, it has been working with Google Cloud to build an oil-and-gas tech platform based on AI and software simulation. Executives believe Schlumberger can transition most of its 1,700 software clients to the digital platform over the next few years, creating new revenue streams. For the first nine months of 2021, free cash flow reached $1.7 billion, a gain of 95%. Shares could trade to $50 during the next 18 months, a gain of 56% from current prices. Jon D. Markman is president of Markman Capital Insight and editor of Fast Forward Investing.…

Forbes 30 UNDER 30

WE PUBLISHED THE first edition of the Forbes 30 Under 30 a decade ago, with one clear goal: to identify the new guard, the young innovators, trailblazers and disruptors remaking our world. That first list featured names like Kevin Systrom, soon to sell Instagram to Facebook for $1 billion; Daniel Ek, who had just launched Spotify in the U.S.; journalist Ronan Farrow, years before he exposed Harvey Weinstein in the New Yorker; and actor Donald Glover, then mostly known as a cast member in the cult comedy Community. Much of 2022 was being freshly created by this group back in 2012. Ten years from today, it’s a good bet we’ll all be living in the new world now being imagined by the 600 entrepreneurs, innovators and entertainers that make up our…

INVEST FOR PROGRESS 3 Ways To Integrate Climate Into Your Portfolio With ETFs

Climate change is one of society’s key issues. The increasing number of extreme, climate-related events—from wildfires to droughts to winter storms—is negatively impacting populations and regions all over the world. Yet the implications of our warming planet don’t stop there; climate change also brings new risks to investors. “The idea that climate risk represents investment risk has moved from a novelty in the investment world to something approaching mainstream thinking in just a few years,” says Armando Senra, head of iShares Americas. “We believe that the biggest potential benefits will accrue to the global investors who are quickest to ready their portfolios for the new era of climate investing.” Until recently, there wasn’t a lot of choice for those interested in climate investing. You could either research securities yourself or pay a premium…

BEYOND THE SOUND BARRIER

It’s lunchtime in late October, and 71 stories above Wall Street at 4 World Trade Center, Daniel Ek is strolling along the polished concrete floors of Spotify’s headquarters. He passes sleek sculptures of headphones crafted in neon-hued metal, couch-lined luxury lounges for VIP advertising clients and soundproof podcast studios custom-built for the medium’s biggest stars, then enters a large cafeteria rigged with stage lighting for pop-up concerts. The room is being prepped for dinner with Spotify’s board, which will include a surprise performance by Brothers Osborne—a hip country-rock duo whose hit song “Stay a Little Longer” has been streamed 180 million times on Ek’s music service. Spotify just reported third-quarter earnings, and Ek, a 38-year-old self-described introverted engineer who seldom gives interviews, is having a rare day in the spotlight. The soft-spoken…

CALIFORNIA SCHEMING

AMONG CALIFORNIA real estate developers, Jordan Moss has an exceptionally big heart. His Marin County firm, Catalyst, is dedicated to developing affordable housing—no small challenge in a state in which small one-bedroom apartments routinely lease for more than $3,000 a month and rents can climb at double-digit rates annually. “I quickly came to the conclusion that I don’t have the temperament for that business, when you’re waiting years and years to find out if you’re going to get an allocation of [low-income housing tax] credits and bonds, and all the other things needed to make that sausage,” says Moss, a former UC Davis basketball player. But in 2019, he partnered with a group of municipal-bond wizards and has since acquired 14 fully occupied luxury apartment buildings in some of California’s most expensive…

CALIFORNIA SCHEMING

October 16, 1995 “It’s like heaven,” said Warren Robinson, reflecting on the 100,000 acres his family owned on two small Hawaiian islands, Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau. That fiefdom was worth a halfbillion dollars. But the outside world was “impinging on the Robinson retreat in the threatening form of the tax collector.” Unlike some billionaires today who make a lot of noise about tax obligations they can easily fulfill (looking at you, Elon!), the Robinsons really were struggling to pay up. Cash flow was tight and sugar prices were stagnant, hurting the Robinsons’ sugar plantation. Even though they lived frugally and practiced careful stewardship over the land that their ancestors bought from King Kamehameha in the late 19th century, satisfying Uncle Sam might mean selling land or finally allowing commercial development. “We go…
