A 7,382-ton (7,500 metric ton), 13,222 square foot (4,030 square meter) building complex in Shanghai, China is being moved around 10 meters a day using an army of small robots. Consisting of a set of traditional shikumen-style buildings, the complex is being moved out of the way to allow for the construction of a three-story underground structure beneath it. This will include the development of new 173,885 square feet (53,000 square meters) of cultural and commercial zones, a parking facility with over 100 spaces, and a transport hub connecting Metro Lines 2, 12, and 13 in the city.

Bill and Melinda French Gates back in 2011 dropped half a million dollars just to rent a house in Wellington, Florida—for four months. Why? Their then-teenage daughter, Jennifer Gates, was training to become one of the top show jumpers in the country. And while that alone sounds like a rich-kid fairytale, the next chapter is pure billionaire. By 2016, Bill Gates had completed what one observer summed up perfectly to Daily Mail: "He gobbled up properties like Pac-Man." According to property records, Gates didn't just buy a home—he strategically snapped up nearly an entire street in the exclusive equestrian village. Starting with a $8.7 million horse farm purchase in 2013, he...

Edna, 55, a socio-environmental educator born in the impoverished Brazilian Agreste — a semi-arid region where access to water has historically been a challenge — grew up in a family that reused materials out of necessity and awareness. “My childhood was marked by...

In 2005, his winning ticket earned him 240 million baht — roughly $7 million USD.

There, he says, they wined and dined him with promises and pleasantries. “They took me out to lunch, gave me two glasses of wine, and I signed everything they put in...
