In 1995, Pepsi put a $33M fighter jet in a commercial for 7M Pepsi Points.

They thought it was obviously a joke.

But one 21-year-old didn’t. He spotted a loophole, went all in, and demanded the jet.

What followed became one of the wildest lawsuits in ad history: 🧵 John Leonard was watching TV when the ad came on.

Sunglasses: 75 points.
T-shirt: 175 points.

Final punchline? A Harrier fighter jet landing at a high school. Price tag: 7M Pepsi Points.

Leonard decided to crunch the numbers:

Larry Ellison is arguably the wildest CEO alive in Silicon Valley:

• Hired private investigators to snoop on Microsoft
• Engaged in a decade-long battle with Google
• Planned to buy Apple and make Steve Jobs CEO

At 80, he looks younger than many 50-year-olds.

Here’s his insane story. 🧵 Ellison was a close friend of Steve Jobs. When Jobs was ousted from Apple in 1985, Ellison stood by him.

He even plotted to buy Apple, make Jobs CEO, and give him 25% of the company.

Jobs declined. Here’s Ellison reflecting on it 👇

In 1983, Paul McCartney gave Michael Jackson a piece of advice that would make MJ billions…

And cost them their friendship forever.

This $47.5M power play is the coldest business lesson in music history: 🧵 In the early 80s, McCartney and Jackson were inseparable.

They teamed up on The Girl Is Mine and Say Say Say — both smash hits.

During those sessions, Paul showed MJ a thick notebook filled with catalogs he had purchased.

“This is where the real money is.”

In 2014, Flappy Bird took the internet by storm—90M downloads, $50K a day in ad revenue, and everyone was hooked.

Then, at the peak of its success, it suddenly disappeared.

Why did the creator kill one of the most addictive games ever made?

The untold story of Flappy Bird:
Flappy Bird was created by Vietnamese developer Dong Nguyen, who simply wanted a game that was easy to play and fun.

It launched in May 2013 and barely got noticed… until early 2014.

Peter Thiel can spot a winning startup better than anyone.

He co-founded PayPal, was Facebook’s very first investor, and turned $500K into billions.

But before writing a single check, he asks 7 tough questions.

Most founders stumble on the very first one.

Here are Thiel’s 7 questions that decide startup success: 🧵 Most startups don’t die because of “bad ideas.”

They fail because founders never ask the right questions.

Thiel understood this back in 2004—before most of us even had a Facebook login.

So he created a mental checklist to separate future giants from forgettable failures.

Apple just lost more money in 4 months than most nations earn in a year.

$1.1 trillion erased — all because Tim Cook made the exact move Steve Jobs refused for 14 years.

Warren Buffett praised it. Jobs called it poison.

Here’s how Apple’s greed is finally backfiring: 🧵 Apple ruled as the world’s most valuable company from 2021 to 2023.

Now? They’ve slipped to 3rd — behind Nvidia and Microsoft.

In only 4 months, their value dropped 28%.

That’s $1.1 trillion wiped out.

But the seeds were planted back in 2011.

This company bends markets and influences U.S. foreign policy.

BlackRock.

They control $11.5 trillion (about 25% of the world’s wealth).

And yet, most people have no idea they exist.

Here’s how they quietly pull the strings on your money: 🧵 What is BlackRock?

→ Not a bank.
→ Not a hedge fund.
→ Not the government.

It’s the operating system of global capitalism.

The Bible is the No.1 business book.

The world’s top billionaires know this & agree that money is deeply connected to spiritual principles.

Yet 99.9% of people never realize it…

That’s why I collected 12 biblical lessons to make you unstoppable in business: 🧵 Most people think spirituality is just about religion or morals…

The truth? Spirituality affects money, success, and relationships.

(Once I mastered it, I started making more than 70K a month.)

Here’s how it can affect YOUR life:

The most dangerous man in tech isn't Elon Musk or Sam Altman.

It's the ex-CEO of Twitter that Musk fired.

He's been quietly building an AI empire that crushes Chat GPT-5.

Now he's about to unleash it.

Here's how Parag Agrawal just outplayed the entire AI industry: Who is Parag Agrawal?

Stanford PhD. Former Twitter CTO.

The engineer who built Twitter's AI recommendation engine that served 250 million users daily.

November 2021: He becomes CEO.

But 11 months later...

In 1989, they had more money than any other company in history.

Every week, $420 million in small bills arrived.

But they faced a problem that no smuggler could solve:

The money literally disappeared.

This is the untold story (it will shock you)
In 1989, the Medellín cartel had more cash than any other company in history.

Every week they received 420 million dollars in small bills.

But then an unexpected problem arose: money literally began to disappear.

Here is the untold story of this strange situation:

This is Cathie Wood:

• She saved Tesla from bankruptcy
• Bet early on Coinbase and Bitcoin
• Known as the "female Warren Buffett"

She just stated: "AI will create a new class of trillionaires."

Here's her advice for preparing today: 🧵 Cathie Wood runs ARK Invest, managing $9.1 billion across 8 ETFs.

She's known for bold, high-conviction bets on disruptive innovation.

Her track record?

Incredible.

But what is she best known for?

You're accidentally teaching your kids to stay poor.

Every "money doesn't grow on trees" creates poverty thinking.

Meanwhile, wealthy parents teach 7-year-olds to multiply money like the 1%.

The 10 lessons that separate future millionaires from everyone else:
First, the uncomfortable truth:

Most families treat money like a dirty secret. Wealthy families discuss it like weather.

As a father of 5 with one on the way, I've seen both sides.

Here's what the rich teach that you probably don't:

10 Things Poor People Do That Rich People Don't: 1) Poor people consume entertainment, rich people create it.

The average person earning under $50k watches 12X more TV than someone making $150k+.

That's not a typo. TWELVE TIMES more.

While you're binging Netflix, the wealthy are building empires.

Every month you buy index funds thinking you're building wealth.

But you're actually funding your own exploitation.

3 firms control $26 trillion in assets and use that power against shareholders like you.

Here's how they rigged the system (without you realizing it):🧵 Think your S&P 500 fund gives you a voice in corporate America?

Think again.

BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street are the largest shareholders in 88% of S&P 500 companies.

When you buy their index funds, you're handing them your voting rights:

This country was a worthless piece of rock in 1863.

Today, it has more millionaires per square foot than anywhere on Earth.

How? A desperate prince made ONE deal that changed everything.

Here's how a dying country became the ultimate wealth magnet:🧵
This story starts with a broke prince in 1860.

His tiny country was dying. Only 1,000 people lived there.

No money. No industry. No hope.

He had one last desperate idea to save his kingdom.

Three investors who predicted every major crash just liquidated everything.

Ray Dalio: "Economic heart attack coming"
Michael Burry: $98M bet against Nvidia
Jeremy Grantham: "50% market collapse"

They're not warning about a recession.

They're warning about system failure:🧵 Ray Dalio just issued his most terrifying prediction yet.

The founder of the world's largest hedge fund warns America faces an "economic heart attack" within 3 years.

He's calling the $37 trillion national debt "near the point of no return."

And he isn't alone:

Rob Dyrdek built a $550M empire and never misses breakfast with his kids.

Most CEOs work 80-hour weeks for half the results.

His secret? A productivity system that takes 20 minutes a day.

Here's how to work less and achieve 10x more: Most productivity advice adds complexity to your life.

More apps. More meetings. More "hacks."

Dyrdek discovered the opposite approach.

After years of chaotic hustle, he realized something profound:

In 1924, two brothers built a shoe factory together.

By 1948, they hated each other so much they split it in half.

One became Adidas and the other Puma.

Their feud divided an entire town and changed sports forever.

Here’s the full Adidas vs Puma story: In 1924, Adi Dassler and his older brother Rudolf Dassler founded the Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory.

Adi’s technical skills and Rudolf’s salesmanship made the company a huge success.

By the 1930s, their shoes were used by top athletes across Germany.

Jeff Bezos built Amazon with one simple rule:

“If two pizzas can’t feed the team, it’s too big.”

Here’s how the "Two Pizza Rule” created a culture of innovation and made Amazon a $2 trillion giant: 1. The Two-Pizza Rule is rooted in Bezos’ belief that small, autonomous teams are more productive than large, bureaucratic ones.

- Decision-making is faster.
- Communication is clearer.
- Accountability is higher.

In 2008, Jeff Bezos & Elon Musk attended the same lecture.

They walked away with one concept that changed how they viewed the world forever.

Here’s the concept (& why everyone needs to understand how it works): This is Daniel Kahneman.

At an event, he delivered a lecture to the most powerful people in the tech…

C-suite executives from Twitter, Microsoft, Facebook, and YouTube.

The topic?

A groundbreaking insight into human behavior…

Google's CEO just had the most important AI interview of 2025.

He revealed mind-blowing facts about artificial general intelligence that 99% of people wouldn't know...

Including when the singularity actually happens.

Here are my top 8 takeaways:
(No. 6 will terrify you) 1. Token Explosion

Google's Gemini: 9.7 trillion → 480 trillion tokens per month.

That's 50x growth in 12 months.

Each token = someone getting an "aha moment" from AI.
