This week, we dig into Hailey Bieber’s not-quite-a-billion-dollar beauty deal - what she actually made and what it says about celebrity brands, equity, and the power of a loyal follower count. We also chat about a US proposal to give every newborn $1,000 to invest (move over, plastic toys), Trump’s oddly personal vendetta against Harvard, and the rumour that Conor McGregor might buy OnlyFans. Oh, and the rise of the “stay-at-home son” - equal parts hilarious and mildly alarming. Plus, is alcohol the new cigarettes? The wellness wave might be stronger than your Sunday hangover.
