A striking contradiction has emerged in British rail travel, with passengers calling for bans and financial penalties on behaviours they routinely commit themselves, according to new research. The survey of 1,000 UK rail users reveals a significant disconnect between what commuters expect from fellow passengers and their own conduct on trains. Perhaps most tellingly, nearly three-quarters say leaving rubbish behind is never acceptable, yet a third admit to doing exactly that, with one in ten confessing they do it regularly. This gap between principle and practice extends across multiple aspects of train etiquette. Whilst 70 per cent condemn putting feet…
AI-driven digital analytics and customer engagement platform Dataroid has raised US $6.6 million in a Pre-Series A funding round led by the FinAI Venture Capital Fund of Tacirler Asset Management. The round also saw participation from the Tacirler Asset Management Future Impact Venture Capital Fund and Endeavor Catalyst. Following the investment, Dataroid, co-founded by Fatih Isbecer, Elif Parlak and Can Elmas, plans to scale its operations into new international markets, with a strong focus on the EMEA region. The company will also step up its global marketing activity and continue developing its self-service analytics platform through ongoing AI-powered product innovation.…
The way Kenny Dillingham said, almost casually, that someone in Phoenix could “stroke a $20 million check” while standing beneath the Pat Tillman statue is especially illuminating. It was a challenge rather than a request. And it perfectly captured the essence of what Arizona State football is evolving into under his direction: unreservedly ambitious and unwilling to rest on latent potential. In late 2025, Arizona State not only paid their coach a five-year contract extension worth $7.5 million annually, but they also set up their entire program for a different kind of future. Dillingham’s pay nearly doubled from $3.95 million…
Zak Brown’s $50.3 million payout wasn’t earned by chance; rather, it was gradually earned through a protracted rebuild of McLaren Racing that paid off in 2024. According to financial documents filed with the UK’s Companies House, that amount was more than just a base pay. Base pay, pension contributions, and a sizable number of performance-linked shares vesting following one of the most memorable seasons in McLaren’s recent history were the causes. McLaren won the Constructors’ Championship for the first time since 1998. It was more than just a victory for Brown, who had been leading the business and strategic side…
Niklas Nikolajsen’s first fifty Bitcoins were about the price of a cappuccino. Even though it was a routine transaction at the time, it now seems like a watershed in the history of finance. He eventually amassed a fortune estimated at $350 million by making that purchase and carrying on with his audacious investments, placing him among the wealthiest private citizens of Switzerland. He was raised surrounded by nature and Nordic sensibilities after being born in Denmark in 1975. He later studied computer science at Copenhagen Business School. He had originally intended to pursue a career in chemistry, but he changed…
Certain professions seem to be engineered, put together piece by piece with exit strategies and strategy meetings. Dick Van Dyke’s career feels remarkably different; rather, it resembles a long river that has been molded by timing, patience, and a sense of movement, flowing steadily as trends rise and fall along its banks. His estimated net worth of $50 million is more a reflection of perseverance than showmanship. This kind of wealth is not based on a single franchise or an unexpected payout; rather, it is the result of decades of reliably appearing, changing formats, and continuing to be remarkably successful…
Jimmy Lai’s wealth wasn’t just created; it was forged via tenacity, unpredictability, and a strong commitment to free speech. As a 12-year-old stowaway from mainland China, he started his adventure by clinging to the side of a fishing boat bound for Hong Kong. He would later establish Giordano, one of the most well-known apparel brands in Asia, and build a media empire that dared to challenge authority. Lai reportedly had a net worth of about $1.2 billion at his height. His possessions are secured behind legal glass as he sits in solitary confinement today. Giordano, a company that transformed fashion…
Ilhan Omar’s financial records when she joined Congress in 2019 showed little indication of generational wealth and more debt than assets, which is something that many Americans have personally experienced. However, estimates of her household’s net worth by 2026 ranged from $6 million to $30 million. The sharp increase has drawn attention, particularly in light of Omar’s outspoken support of working families and frequent references to student loan debt. Her congressional salary and personal endeavors had nothing to do with this sharp rise. Rather, the valuation is anchored by her husband Tim Mynett’s businesses, namely ESTCRU, a California-based winery listed…

In actuality, it depicts something much messier, more relatable, and more illuminating of the true nature of contemporary wealth. The name Storch frequently appears in databases pertaining to executive compensation, music history, sports ownership rumors, and business filings, but these appearances seldom refer to the same balance sheet. Rather, they create a loose constellation of distinct financial lives with little in common other than a surname. NameRole / BackgroundEstimated Net Worth (as of 2025–2026)NotesDavid P.
