At age 10, Diane Hendricks decided she wanted to work in the business world. It took years to achieve that goal, and decades for her career to build a fortune. This week, Hendricks topped Forbes’ recent American’s Richest Self-Made Women list for the seventh consecutive year. Her estimated $20.9 billion net worth comes largely from her roofing materials company ABC Supply, which she co-founded with her late husband Ken Hendricks in 1982. Hendricks, now 77, and Ken started the company after realizing there were precious few one-stop shops for roofing materials made by different manufacturers, she told Forbes in 2022. They took out a $900,000 loan from Beloit Savings Bank and...

Hollywood star Johnny Depp escaped a plight many Americans cannot avoid. Last year, the actor, known for his iconic role as Captain Jack Sparrow in Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, took out a $10 million loan to save his two West Hollywood, California, homes from foreclosure. However, most people don't have the financial means to save their homes if they get into trouble, and many abandon them if they can no longer afford their mortgage payments — a practice known as zombie foreclosure. According to ATTOM’s second-quarter 2024 Vacant Property and Zombie Foreclosure Report, about 1.3 million residential properties remained vacant in the United States during the...

Ford is out here this week making a big deal out of its new office complex, which is reborn out of Detroit’s long-abandoned Michigan Central Station. Partly, this is because Ford is extremely proud of this achievement. It also feels like Ford probably needs to explain why it spent so much money on a building when no one wants to go into an office anymore. Almost 120 years later, Ford is still here, although the automotive industry is in yet another upheaval. Ford is celebrating by opening up a new ‘Culture And Tech Hub’ built out of the once derelict Michigan Central Station in Detroit. The abandoned 18-story building, and an adjacent building/campus,...

A realtor has offered a look inside an enormous 'dystopian' apartment building in China. Located in Qianjiang Century City in Hangzhou’s central business district, the building is called the Regent International, and offers a huge range of amenities to residents.

Not only did Ali learn to box during his 14 years in residence, but also won his Olympic gold medal and turned pro. “This home is just like it was when we were boys,” Ali’s brother, Rahaman Ali, said in a...
