Forbes’ annual World’s Billionaires list is full of Jeffrey Epstein’s cronies — here’s who’s in the files
Story by Gabrielle Fahmy •

Forbes released its 40th annual World’s Billionaires List, and it’s a who’s who of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Since the Department of Justice began releasing records related to the late pedophile on Dec. 19, the rich and famous linked to Epstein have been resigning and publicly apologizing in droves.

Dozens of names on the new 3,428-person Forbes list also came up in the Epstein files, some more than others.

Bill Gates – ranked the 19th richest person in the world with $108 billion — is chief among them.

In emails released by the feds, Epstein claimed the Microsoft co-founder, a frequent visitor to his Upper East Side townhouse, asked for medicine to treat a sexually transmitted disease he caught from “sex with Russian girls.”

Gates, 70, later admitted to flying on Epstein’s private plane and to two affairs with Russian women – and called his friendship with the disgraced financier a “huge mistake.”

He said he did not do or see anything illicit.

Steve Tisch, chairman of the New York Giants band ranked 1,193rd richest in the world with a $2.2 billion fortune, exchanged several eyebrow-raising emails with the sex predator.

They showed Epstein tried to set up the 77-year-old businessman with women, including a “Tahitian” girl named “Emily in 2013, years after Epstein’s first conviction in Florida.

“Working girl?” Tisch replied in one missive. Others referenced “girls” from Ukraine and Russia.

Tisch later claimed they were talking about adult women, and that he regrets associating with Epstein.

Last week, he announced he’s transferring his ownership stake in the NFL franchise to his children.

Virgin founder Richard Branson — 1,504th on the Forbes list with $2.8 billion — lives on a private island in the British Virgin Islands a short 20-minute helicopter ride from Epstein’s “pedo island,” and gushed in emails about Russian girls Epstein brought him.

The pair hung out twice on the 75-year-old English entrepreneur’s Necker Island in 2013, with Epstein bringing girls each time.

Branson was so pleased, he emailed Epstein after the second visit to say, “Any time you’re in the area would love to see you! As long as you bring your harem!”

For years, whenever the truth about chattel slavery is discussed, some people try to deflect the conversation by repeating the phrase: “Africans sold Africans.”
But here is the question they rarely want to answer.
Who created the global market that demanded millions of enslaved human beings in the first place?
Before European colonial powers arrived, Africa did not operate a transatlantic racial slave industry that treated people as permanent property for life, stripped them of identity, and bred their children into bondage.

That system was engineered, financed, and expanded by European empires and colonial economies that built plantations in the Americas and demanded a constant supply of enslaved labor.
Ships were built in Europe.
Insurance policies were written in Europe.
Banks financed the voyages.
Colonies demanded the labor.
And millions of Africans were transported across the Atlantic to fuel that system.

History becomes clearer when we stop repeating slogans and start asking who created
the system and who profited from it.
Truth does not fear questions.

“Cuba is gonna fall pretty soon, by the way, unrelated, but Cuba is gonna fall too. They want to make a deal so badly,” he told CNN’s Dana Bash in a phone interview when touting US military success in his second term.

“They want to make a deal, and so I’m going to put Marco (Rubio) over there and we’ll see how that works out. We’re really focused on this one right now. We’ve got plenty of time, but Cuba’s ready — after 50 years,” he added, explaining that Iran is the current priority.

He added of Cuba: “I’ve been watching it for 50 years, and it’s fallen right into my lap because of me, it’s fallen, but it’s nevertheless fallen right into the lap. And we’re doing very well.

A day earlier, Trump said at the White House that it’s only a “question of time” before American Cubans can return to their home country, appearing to say that’s next on the administration’s agenda after the ongoing war with Iran.

“He’s doing some job, and your next one is going to be, we want to do that special Cuba,” Trump said Thursday referring to his Secretary of State. “He’s waiting. But he says, ‘Let’s get this one finished first.’ We could do them all at the same time, but bad things happen. If you watch countries over the years, you do them all too fast, bad things happen. We’re not going to let anything bad happen to this country.

Ground invasion launched against Iran as thousands of US-backed Kurdish fighters storm border

Thousands of Kurdish fighters have a launched a ground invasion in Iran, according to a US official.

The Kurdish militias, based across the border in Iraq, began the offensive in northwestern Iran on Wednesday.

President Donald Trump on Sunday night spoke with the heads of Kurdish militant groups in Iraq to discuss the situation in Iran.

The CIA was exploring plans to arm the Kurdish forces with the aim of sparking a popular uprising, CNN reported Tuesday.

The Kurdish groups are widely seen as the most well-organized faction of the fragmented Iranian opposition and are believed to have thousands of battle-hardened fighters.

Their entry into the war could pose a significant challenge to the besieged authorities in Tehran and could also risk pulling Iraq further into the conflict.

Asked about Kurdish involvement, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters: 'None of our objectives are premised on the support or the arming of any particular force.

'So, what other entities may be doing, we're aware of, but our objectives aren't centered on that.'

Inside the billionaires' bunkers and hideouts Musk and Zuckerberg will retreat to in WW3
Story by Athena Dawson •

As the world anxiously watches the escalation of the U.S.-Iran conflict that unfolded over the weekend, billionaires may be prepared for any potential fallout, thanks to their state-of-the-art bunkers.
With global conflicts, natural disasters, and any other threat to humanity at an all-time high right now, the top 1% are seemingly prepared to wait out a doomsday in the remote parts of New Zealand or the Scottish Highlands, or on islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

For some wealthy buyers, New Zealand seems to be the coveted destination to prepare for a potential doomsday.

LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman told The New Yorker in 2017 that for the ultra wealthy, purchasing property in New Zealand has become a code for getting "apocalypse insurance".

He revealed to the publication: "Saying you're 'buying a house in New Zealand' is kind of a wink, wink, say no more."

Underground global shelter network Vivos said it installed a 300-person bunker on the South Island of New Zealand in 2020.

Another survival shelter firm, Rising S Bunkers, revealed that it had delivered around 10 private bunkers to New Zealand over the past few years.

Billionaires such as Sam Morgan, Peter Thiel, and Bill Foley have invested millions of dollars in sprawling properties on the lush island.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has downplayed speculation that he's prepared for a doomsday scenario, insisting in past interviews that his bunker, attached to his ranch in Hawaii is just a "basement,"

The sprawling Hawaii compound includes 11 treehouses that were connected by rope bridges, an underground bunker with a concrete-filled metal door, and multiple guest houses.

The main structures include two mansions and the bunker, according to Wired, is 5,000 square feet and is connected to the buildings by a tunnel.

The bunkers have space for mechanical equipment, living areas, and an escape hatch, and the door will be similar to doors found in bomb shelters, reports People Magazine. Zuckerberg's Hawaii property has long been the subject of speculation due to its massive size and extreme security measures.

"I think the whole thing got blown out of proportion, as if the whole ranch was some kind of, like, doomsday bunker," he said of his property in Hawaii. "It's just not true," he said in a past interview with The Circut.
