In 1973, FedEx was losing $30,000 per day.

They had $5,000 in the bank and a $24,000 fuel bill due Monday.

389 employees were about to lose their jobs.

Here's how the founder's Vegas blackjack run saved them all: First, let's set the scene.

FedEx launched April 17th, 1973 with a revolutionary idea: overnight delivery using their own planes.

Fred Smith's concept was brilliant.

While competitors used passenger airlines, FedEx flew at night when airports were empty:

Visa doesn't lend money, own banks, or take deposits.

Yet it's one of the world's most valuable financial companies.

It makes money every time you swipe or tap.

Here's how they built a monopoly by owning nothing: In 2023, Visa processed $14.8 trillion in transactions.

That's more money flowing through one network than most countries' entire economies.

But this empire started in the most unlikely place...

Boeing hasn't made a profit since 2018.

Airbus has been profitable every year since the pandemic.

The gap between them is now worth billions of dollars.

Here's how Airbus became the world's biggest plane maker: This is one of the greatest business comebacks in history.

Airbus entered the market decades after Boeing.

Today, 76% of the world's fleet is made up of Airbus and Boeing planes.

But here's what makes this story incredible...

OpenAI just made the biggest bet in company history.

$6.5 billion for 1 designer and his 55-person team.

OpenAI acquired io, a device startup that Sam Altman and Jony Ive have been secretly building for 2 years.

13 years later, they're exactly on track.

His team has delivered breakthrough after breakthrough:

Coinbase just lost $400M in the most embarrassing way possible:

Here's the wild story: In January, hackers found a simple backdoor to Coinbase customer data:

The company's own employees.

They bribed contract workers in customer support, offering cash for sensitive user information.

Before 1996, Qatar was a barren desert of 320k people

Yesterday, they casually spent $96B on Boeing Jets - the largest purchase in history

Their $450B fund owns more of London than the British Royal Family

How desert rulers engineered the West's silent takeover:
The journey starts with a "disappointing" discovery.

In 1971, Qatar and Shell found something beneath the Persian Gulf they thought was worthless.

Not oil (which they wanted). Just natural gas.

But this disappointing find would change everything:

In 1965, Malaysia expelled Singapore to die alone.

One-third living in slums. No resources. No army.

Today: A $548B economy with more millionaires per capita than London or New York.

The blueprint that turned this tiny island into a GLOBAL juggernaut:
Singapore's expulsion wasn't just a political breakup—it was intended as a death sentence.

Malaysian PM Tunku Abdul Rahman expected Singapore to fail without Malaysia's larger market and resources.

He was wrong.

Singapore became independent on August 9, 1965.

It served nearly half of all US venture-backed startups. By end of 2022, it held $189.2B in deposits.

Its stock price had tripled from 2018 to 2021.

But trouble was brewing beneath the surface...

In 1995, Steve Jobs gave his most BRUTALLY honest interview

• The secret of building amazing products

8 insights that'll leave you speechless: 1/ The REAL reason he left Apple:

The problem? Sales & marketing took over while product visionaries were pushed aside.

In 2006, North Korea printed $45M in fake $100 US bills.

The counterfeits were flawless, experts called them "Supernotes."

This forced the US to add a molecular signature only central banks can verify.

Here are 3 classified features that make US dollars impossible to copy:
The counterfeiters had gone beyond simple forgery.

North Korea acquired the same Swiss-made Intaglio Color 8 printing press used by the US government.

They sourced identical cotton-linen paper from the same manufacturer.

Even the ink was perfectly matched.

In 1984, a frustrated actress inspired fashion's holy grail

Hermès CEO sat next to Jane Birkin on a flight to London

She hated her bag, so he sketched a solution on the spot

Today, Royals wait years to buy a $500k "Birkin"

Here's how a 10min chat forged a $200B luxury empire:
Jean-Louis Dumas, CEO of Hermès, was seated beside Jane Birkin on that flight.

As her wicker basket spilled its contents, she lamented: "I can't find a leather weekend bag I like."

What happened next seems small but changed luxury forever.

OpenAI just stole 40 years of artistic genius.

84-year-old Miyazaki calls it "an insult to life itself."

Sam Altman's response? "This is just the beginning."

Here's how AI is stealing from every artist (and why it's perfectly legal):
It started with OpenAI's latest feature, GPT-4o image generation.

Launched this week, it went viral for transforming photos into Ghibli-style art.

The AI could mimic various artistic styles.

But there was one problem...

1,700 employees just became millionaires overnight.
