As you almost certainly know by now, Kylie Jenner is officially the world’s youngest “self-made” billionaire. Like so many others, we feel compelled to put “self-made” in quotes because, let’s face it — Kylie had a lot of help in reaching her current financial status. Kylie was born to wealth and privilege that few can even fathom. But that’s not to take away from the fact that she cunningly took advantage of every opportunity that was offered to her. After all, Kylie’s five siblings enjoyed similar entitlements, but, well — none of them has amassed a 10-figure net worth, have they? Obviously, Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Rob, and Kendall all enjoy rather comfortable lifestyles, but did any of them feel a twinge of jealousy when their little sister became a billionaire before she could legally drink? Believe it or not, Kourney answered that question in candid fashion during her recent appearance on syndicated talk show The Real. Asked by the panel of hosts exactly how she feels about Kylie’s staggering wealth, Kourt laid her cards on the table — and she may have snuck in a little trash talk as a bonus: “Probably subconsciously it makes us feel like, ‘When is it enough?’” Kourtney said. “And that’s a thing I always think to myself, ‘When is it enough?’ Because I don’t like missing out on certain things like doing my kids’ homework or certain after-school activities for different things like that,” Kourtney explained. Kourtney has a reputation for being the least-confrontational member of her family, but it’s possible she’s just mastered the art of extremely subtle shade-throwing. In all likelihood, her comments were prompted not by jealousy, but by concern for her little sister. After all, in addition to beling a billionaire, Kylie is a mother . It would be a lot to take on at any age, and Kylie is just 22 years old. But those who know her best say Stormi’s mom has a knack for going with the flow, a tendency that seems to be reflected in her recent comments about going from rich to ridiculously wealthy. “I didn’t expect anything. I did not forsee the future,” Kylie told Forbes. “But [the recognition] feels really good. That’s a nice pat on the back.” Kylie owns 100 percent of her cosmetics line, and while she prides herself on putting out a quality product, she’s under no delusions about why the brand took off so quickly: “It’s the power of social media,” Kylie told the finance mag. “I had such a strong reach before I was able to start anything.” Asked how her sisters feel about her success, Kylizzle admitted that she’d occasionally the butt of good-natured jokes: “When we’re in a group chat talking about where we should go for a trip, they’re like, ‘Kylie? You going to pay for it?’” Kylie said. “Just stuff like that.” She added: “They just joke with me, just sister love. They’re all really proud of me, for sure.”

Paola Mayfield has made it official: Two body parts of hers are growing these days. As previously announced, the 90 Day Fiance star is expecting her first child with husband Russ, as the reality stars themselves confirmed this blessed news just over a week ago on Instagram. Naturally, as a result, Mayfield’s belly is getting bigger by the month. But the TLC personality has also now made it clear via social media that something aside from her stomach has increased in size of late: Her heart. Indeed, Paola just shared a new, precious picture (above) of Russ kissing her baby bump, adding as a lengthy caption: “We are so thankful and happy for each one of your beautiful messages! We weren’t expecting so much love and so much support. Thank you all so much.” She then referenced some of the marital strife that she has been through over the past year or so. “You guys know all that Russ and I went through the past months,” Mayfield said in her caption, continuing in further detail: “I was angry and devastated after all you can never completely recover from something like that but today we have a reason to smile and to be happy, a reason to move forward and to be the best we can. “I wish I could keep up and like all your comments from my last post. I love you all so very much! “Thank you for living this amazing experience with us and for showing us so much love.” Mayfield is mostly referencing a miscarriage she suffered last year in this passage. As is the case with so many couples that go through this awful experience, Russ and Paola nearly hit a breaking point due to the tragedy. Paola made it pretty clear on air and in a few statements that she though Russ wasn’t there for her in the way she needed following the devastating news. Meanwhile, Russ thought his wife was trying to shut him out. It’s never been clear just how close the stars were to splitting, but their relationship hadn’t seemed entirely stable even before the miscarriage. The main storyline surrounding the Mayfields during their time on 90 Day Finance had been Paola’s penchant for posing nearly-naked and Russ’ unease over his wife showing the world such revealing assets. This was a legitimate issue between the husband and wife. It became so well known and questions about their relationship so pervasive that both sides of the romance semi-recently addressed their status online. “He accepts me,” Paola told fans in early July of Russ. “Loves me and respects me the way I am and lets me work even when he is not 100% comfortable.” Russ, for his part, also made it evident a short bit ago that he loves Paola and is committed to Paola and people need to stop claiming anything to the contrary. “I accept and am proud of my wife for the beautiful woman she is,” Russ has said , adding: “I am tired of the comments from the marriage ‘experts’ stating I deserve better, my wife doesn’t respect me, or she only loves me for my money and so on and so forth… “I am proud of where I come from. And where I am going and that’s with the love of my life.” And now also with a precious bundle of joy! CONGRATS ALL AROUND!

Of the various famous men accused of being sex monsters in recent months, many have been more famous but arguably none have been as influential as Steve Wynn. He’s a billionaire. He’s an outspoken conservative and the finance chair for the Republican National Committee. He’s a Las Vegas casino mogul. And, according to dozens of accusers, his pattern of alleged sexual misconduct goes back for decades . The Wall Street Journal reports that billionaire Steve Wynn has engaged in behaviors for years and years that create a working culture of sexual harassment. According to dozens of current and former employees of Wynn Resorts, Steve Wynn’s demands for sex from female employees came under the guise of manicures, makeup applications, and massages that were performed privately in his offices. It is there that these numerous sources say that Steve Wynn would exert pressure upon these women to engage in sex acts at his behest. The Wall Street Journal describes employees conspiring to invent fake appointments that various female coworkers might have so that they could avoid spending time alone in their CEO’s office. One woman recounted her story in which she alleges that Wynn forced her to have sex. While working as a manicurist at Wynn’s flagship casino in 2005, she says that Wynn pressured her to remove her clothing. She says that he then relentlessly pressured her to lie naked on the massage table in his office. The Wall Street Journal spoke to coworkers of hers who remember her returning to where they were, looking visibly shaken and upset, immediately after the alleged incident. That sounds like a horrifying abuse of power. The Wall Street Journal says that they were the ones who reached out to employees, not the other way around. They spoke to over 150 current and former employees in order to hear personal accounts and seek confirmation from others. We can only guess which stories they may have heard but were unable to confirm. Citing Steve Wynn’s powerful influence throughout the Las Vegas strip, most of the employees who spoke were hesitant to speak on the record, worrying that it could hurt their careers. At least one previous alleged incident with a manicurist led to a lawsuit and payout of $7.5 million. All in all, the culture described by the report is one in which some female employees would hide in the bathroom if they knew that Steve Wynn was in the building. In response to these allegations, Wynn’s company issued a lengthy statement. Interestingly, both he and his company seem to believe that this report is part of a conspiracy by his two-time ex-wife, Elain Wynn (1963-1986, 1991-2010). “The recent allegations about Mr. Wynn reflect allegations made in court hearings by Mr. Wynn’s ex-wife, Elaine Wynn.” That’s part of a statement by Wynn Resorts, which also says: “It is clear that Mr. Wynn’s ex-wife has sought to use a negative public relations campaign to achieve what she has been unable to do in the courtroom: tarnish the reputation of Mr. Wynn in an attempt to pressure a revised divorce settlement from him.” The statement also iterates that Wynn Resorts is committed to a safe workplace. Additionally, Wynn himself says that “the idea that I ever assaulted any woman is preposterous.” We don’t know what Steve Wynn’s wife Andrea Wynn (formerly Andrea Hissom) thinks of all of this, but we do know what stockholders think. Shares in Wynn Resorts fell by 5% … and then it was 8% … and then 9%. The presentation of these accusations as a smear campaign is curious, as one would imagine that it would require enlisting over 150 accomplices and also hoodwinking The Wall Street Journal , a notoriously conservative news outlet that one would imagine would take extra care when accusing one of the nation’s wealthiest Republicans. It is difficult to gauge what the fallout from this will be for Wynn, professionally. Las Vegas is not Hollywood. Perhaps only time will tell if he’ll be ousted from any of his many, many business and political interests. View Slideshow: Hollywood Sex Scandal: Who’s Been Caught? Accused? Fired?
S everal years have passed since the tech industry came under fire for its lack of diversity. Little has change despite its efforts. Facebook Global Director of Diversity Maxine Williams admitted to Yahoo Finance that the pace of change for her company has been slow. “Look, I’m frustrated too,” she stated. “I want there to be more [diversity].” Facebook's Diversity chief, Maxine Williams shares some of the things that's making the company less white and male https://t.co/SmM8co2HX2 pic.twitter.com/s0d5eXEiWS — Colorintech (@Colorintechorg) August 5, 2017 Women represent 35 percent of Facebook’s workforce—a 2 percent increase from the previous year. And the company added just 1 percent of Hispanic and African-American employees year-over-year, Yahoo reported. As poor as that sounds, the tech industry overall had a decline in the number of Black and Hispanic employees, according to data reviewed by the news outlet. Earlier this year, two tech giants hired Black women to lead their diversity efforts. Apple introduced Denise Young Smith is its new first vice president of diversity and inclusion, reporting directly to Apple CEO Tim Cook .

Here in the United States, the tech giant is 56 percent White, 19 percent Asian, 12 percent Hispanic and 9 percent Black. After that announcement, Twitter made a similar move , hiring Candi Castleberry-Singleton as its new vice president of inclusion and diversity.

Blacks and Hispanics, combined, represented just 7 percent. The company’s leadership was 74 percent White and only 2 percent Black. And as with most of the technology industry, Twitter’s workforce in 2016 was male dominated, with women making up 37 percent overall.

U.S. Special Operations Have Killed ISIS Finance Minister Abd al-Rahman Mustafa al-Qaduli CNN is reporting that in the wake of the Brussels bombing, one of ISIS’ main leaders has been killed by U.S. Special Forces… The Pentagon said Friday that it had killed ISIS’ finance minister, Abd al-Rahman Mustafa al-Qaduli, whom many analysts consider the group’s No. 2 leader. Those analysts believe al-Qaduli would have been expected to take control of the day-to-day running of ISIS, also called ISIL, if its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was killed or incapacitated. The U.S. operation was intended to capture him alive, a U.S. official told CNN. Helicopters loaded with special operations forces swooped in on a vehicle carrying al-Qaduli, but at the last moment something happened that caused them to decide to fire on the vehicle instead. The official would not say what it was that caused them to modify the plan. Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced the death at a news conference Friday morning. “We are systematically eliminating ISIL’s cabinet,” Carter said, adding it was “the second senior ISIL leader we’ve successfully targeted this month.” Explaining the significance of this particular figure, Carter noted, “We’ve taken out the leader who oversees the funding for ISIL’s operations, hurting their ability to pay fighters and hire recruits.” Do you feel any safer? We don’t… Image via CNN
Adam Ward, the WDBJ cameraman who has horrifically murdered Wednesday morning, had a lot to look forward to. In April, Adam proposed to Melissa Ott, a producer at the Roanoke, Virginia, television station. Devastatingly, Ott was working in the control room watching the live video feed when her finance was murdered. The 27-year-old cameraman was killed along with his co-work and WDBJ reporter Alison Parker. They were filming a live broadcast in Virginia when a gunman shot and killed both Ward and Parker. As Ward lay dying, he was able to capture an image of the shooter. The image that Ward caught helped the authorities identify the shooter as Vester L. Flanagan. Ward proposed to Ott in April. A picture of the couple’s engagement was posted to Ward’s Facebook page earlier this year. Because Ott also works for the station, she witnessed the brutal murder live as it broadcasted in the station’s control room. Needless to say, Ott is shattered that she lost her fiancé so unexpectedly and in such a horrific way. Flanagan uploaded two videos on Twitter showing the graphic murders. He posted the footage on his Twitter account under his pseudonym Bryce Williams. The Twitter account was quickly suspended, and the videos were removed. One video shows Flanagan filming himself as he approaches Parker. Parker was interviewing a woman on-air when Flanagan displays his gun and Parker screams. In the second video, Flanagan is seen shooting at Parker, and she tries to run away. Six shots are fired before the video ends. Flanagan once worked for the same station. He claimed that Parker “made racist comments” and that “Adam went to hr on me after working with me one time!!!” The general manager of WDBJ, Jeff Marks, described Flanagan as “an unhappy man” who “quickly gathered a reputation as someone who was difficult to work with.” Flanagan was fired from the station. Marks disclosed that Flanagan filed an action with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, claiming he was a victim of racism at the studio. But the EEOC “dismissed the claim out of hand, and that was that,” according to Marks. Flanagan fatally shot himself in the head as police began pursuing him. Reportedly, Flanagan faxed a 23-page document to the station, citing racism and homophobia. The documents were turned over to authorities.
