3 Investing Lessons From Jay-Z

In 2019, Shawn Corey Carter became hip-hop's first billionaire. Better known as Jay-Z, Mr. Carter didn't just make his money by rapping, although he's one of the industry's best-selling artists. Instead, he built a sprawling empire, including a music label, a sports management company, a streaming service, and a high-end sports bar.

New Floating Restaurants

+S. Pellegrino presents the new floating pop-up restaurant in Cannes. The iconic S.Pellegrino will open an unusual pop-up restaurant concept situated on a fleet of motor boats during the Cannes Film Festival. During May 15 to 19, guests will enjoy a unique gourmet dining experience while floating in the Bay of Cannes.

Over four days, the Trattoria al Mare S.Pellegrino will allow 400 guests to enjoy an exceptional menu prepared by Italian chef Marco Stabile and French chef Alain Llorca, all at absolutely no cost.

Seven boats will drop anchor in the Bay of Cannes, where the lucky guests will enjoy lunch or dinner. Each boat can accommodate four to six diners at a time.

The only way to reserve a table on this unusual floating restaurant is by calling a confidential phone number, which will be posted only in certain strategic locations along the Croisette starting on May 14. So festival goers will have to keep their eyes open if they want to find the secret number.

The Wu-Tang Clan Has Opened A Surprise Pop-Up Shop In West Hollywood

 

The Wu-Tang Clan announced on their official social media channels that they’d be setting up in West Hollywood, California with a surprise pop-up shop that runs from today, Thursday, October 15th, until Sunday, October 18th. What will you find at the Wu-Tang pop-up? We have no clue at this point, but we’re expecting all sorts of limited-edition apparel drops, maybe a vinyl pressing or two, and, if we’re lucky, the black and yellow Wu-Tang Nike Air Force 1s.

Right now details on what is going down at the pop-up are scarce, few if any social media posts linked to the event exist right now, all we really know is that the shop has the operating hours of 11 am to 7 pm and we can assume you’ll need a mask to enter, per county regulations. The Wu-Tang Clan twitter account has been steadily posting images of Wu-Tang apparel so we’re assuming this is a mostly apparel-focused drop.
