Mariah Carey lists $27M Tribeca penthouse amid debt questions

Mariah Carey has listed her Tribeca triplex at 90 Franklin St for $27 million—the 12,728-square-foot, three-level penthouse she assembled in 1999 from two units and furnished with designer Mario Buatta—for the first time since its original purchase. The listing highlights its scale, light, potential to operate the floors as a single residence or rework, and 360-degree views from the Hudson to the skyline with about 1,100 square feet of private outdoor space. Public records show roughly $18.6 million in loans against the property, fueling questions about Carey’s finances amid broader spending rumors, including the sale of an Atlanta mansion at a loss.

Dolce & Gabbana chief exits chair amid €450m debt restructuring

Dolce & Gabbana co-founder Stefano Gabbana steps down as chair amid a debt pile of about €450m and a downturn in luxury retail, while remaining involved creatively; Alfonso Dolce has taken over the chair role as the company negotiates with banks and explores outside help. The privately owned brand, with Gabbana and Domenico Dolce each holding significant stakes, is pushing into new markets like hospitality and furniture and is considering a minority investment or strategic partnership to stabilise the business.

LACMA’s Geffen Galleries: a $723.8 million bet on culture and controversy

LACMA’s new David Geffen Galleries carry a final price tag of about $723.8 million (roughly $585 million in hard costs and $138.7 million in soft costs). The project was funded with county support and a large donor campaign, with $125 million in county backing and a $300 million credit, and the campaign has exceeded its $750 million goal (now well over $875 million). Debt has grown to about $617 million and is planned to be paid off by 2050. Despite ongoing criticism of the price and design, museum officials defend the build as essential cultural infrastructure, with previews starting April 19 and general admission in May 2026, after a gala on April 16.

Frictionless Spending: How Cards and BNPL Trap Shoppers in Debt

Credit cards, rewards, BNPL, and digital wallets have made spending frictionless, turning impulse buys into debt traps. The piece highlights personal stories and expert analysis showing how “play money” rewards and installment plans blur true costs, with BNPL usage rising to 15% in 2025 and credit-card balances at a record $1.28 trillion. While some use BNPL for necessities, the system often leads to spiraling debt, higher interest and fees, and long-term consequences like wage garnishment or bankruptcies, all amid ongoing inflation and uncertainty.

Two Jobs, One Tampa Woman’s Battle Against $75K in Student Debt

A Tampa woman, Rachel Jordan, juggles two jobs and up to 70 hours a week to manage roughly $75,000 in student debt while her loans are in forbearance; she budgets tightly, aims to pay $1,600–$2,000 monthly, and documents her debt-paydown journey on YouTube and TikTok as she tries to pay off $25,000 by October, save $100,000 for retirement, and navigate the uncertainty of forgiveness decisions for her two undergraduate loans.

Marathon Turns Corporate Rule Into a Debt-Driven Satire

Bungie’s Marathon reimagines a humanless Tau Ceti as a logistics-and-legal nightmare in which “runners”—uploaded consciousnesses bound to disposable android bodies—take on contracts for mega‑corporations to extract data and salvage. The battle royale becomes a biting satire of work, debt, and the cold calculus of corporate power, where victory is brief, the debts keep growing, and solidarity is scarce.

Tariff-driven gains help keep deficit under last year's pace through February

Tariff-driven gains help keep deficit under last year's pace through February

The U.S. deficit totaled $1.004 trillion through February, about 12% below the year-ago pace as faster revenues narrowed the gap; February alone posted a $308 billion shortfall. Customs duties rose to $151 billion in the first five months (up 294% year over year), helping offset a 17% drop in corporate tax receipts. Net interest payments on the roughly $39 trillion debt were $79 billion in February. The data may reflect timing on tariffs and possible refunds, with higher rates continuing to weigh on the fiscal outlook as the debt nears $39 trillion.

Paramount-Skydance's Warner Bros. Discovery Deal Faces Regulatory Hurdles

Paramount Skydance’s $110 billion bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery is navigating a complex regulatory path, with potential challenges from state attorneys general, ongoing U.S. antitrust reviews, and anticipated approvals from the EU and UK. While Paramount insists the deal should close quickly and maintains both studios and streaming services, experts warn delays are possible due to antitrust concerns, the debt load (~$79 billion), labor and competitive worries, and opposition from the Writers Guild and some lawmakers.
