Weddings are a must-attend on the billionaire social calendar for the summer
Over the past couple of years, billionaire weddings have become must-attend events for those who want to see, be seen, and mingle with their fellow masters of the universe.
Last year, the wedding of the summer was undoubtedly that of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. Billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and Rihanna, who also performed at a pre-wedding bash, attended.
The previous summer, Ari Emanuel, superagent and then-CEO of entertainment business Endeavor, wedded fashion designer Sarah Staudinger. Elon Musk and Tyler Perry were among the billionaires on the guest list.
2025's billionaire wedding season is gearing up to be the biggest yet.
It kicked off in June when Alex Soros, son of hedge fund investor George Soros, married Huma Abedin, the political strategist and former Hillary Clinton aide. Photographed for Vogue were guests like supermodel Karlie Kloss, the wife of billionaire investor Josh Kushner, and fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg, the wife of media mogul Barry Diller.
Next down the aisle were Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos, who wed in Venice a couple of weeks later.
Billionaires from the worlds of tech (Bill Gates, Sam Altman), media (David Geffen, Oprah Winfrey), and fashion (Kim Kardashian, François-Henri Pinault) rubbed elbows to celebrate the third-richest man on Earth.
Next on the agenda: Eve Jobs, daughter of late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, will wed Olympian equestrian Harry Charles in the Cotswolds sometime in August.

Best Prime Day MacBook deals: 7 massive savings on MacBook Pro and MacBook Air laptops
Prime Day is just around the corner, but Apple has jumped the gun with some huge MacBook deals — giving us up to $350 off every single Air and Pro model! Particular standouts for me has to be grabbing $150 off the M4 MacBook Air (arguably one of the best laptops anyone can buy right now), and a whopping $170 off the M4 MacBook Pro. But for those who need the additional horsepower for professional workloads, you'll find equally big savings on the M4 Pro and M4 Max MacBook Pros, too! But enough blathering, let's get into them. The latest 13-inch MacBook Air M4 is Apple's greatest offering yet, and it's not only because of its speedy performance thanks to the M4 chip or its upgraded 12MP webcam. It's $100 less than its predecessor, and with that extra $100 off, you're getting one of the best laptops on the market at an epic price. Expect 16GB of unified memory and a 256 SSD in the model, but for more speed and storage, you can get the same discount. MacBook Air M4 (16GB/512GB): was $1,199 now $1,049MacBook Air M4 (24GB/512GB): was $1,399 now $1,249 One of the best laptops with an even bigger screen? You got it. The 15-inch M4 MacBook Air boasts a 15.3-inch (2880 x 1864) Liquid Retina display, and that's more screen real estate for work, watching shows and even some gaming. Better yet, its more powerful configurations are also discounted, and even $163 off for top-tier performance. MacBook Air M4 (16GB/512GB): was $1,399 now $1,249MacBook Air M4 (24GB/512GB): was $1,599 now $1,436 If you're a power user, you'll want the might of the MacBook Pro M4 on your side. You get fantastic performance from the M4 chip, useful Apple Intelligence features, a better webcam and very impressive battery life of over 18 hours. As we noted in our MacBook Pro 14-inch M4 review, it's the best laptop for photo and video editing, and much more. This model features a 14.2-inch (3024 x 1964) Retina display, Apple M4 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Not enough power? No problem, as the M4 Pro MacBook Pro also has a steep price cut, and you can save $200! If the base MacBook Pro M4 doesn't have enough power for you, upgrade to the MacBook Pro with an M4 Pro chip. As well as faster performance thanks to its 12-core CPU and 16-core GPU, you'll also get Thunderbolt 5 ports for even faster data transfer. Need top-flight performance? That's where the M4 Max comes in — perfect for professional workloads like high-fidelity animation and 3D rendering with its 32-core GPU, professional studio recording with the 14-core CPU, and on-device AI with its enhanced Neural Engine. That extra screen real estate really comes in handy for complex 4K video edit timelines in Final Cut Pro and really zooming in on those details in RAW photo edits. Pair that with M4 Pro power and a $250 saving, and you're onto a winner with a far longer battery life, too! It'll cost you a small fortune, but this is the ultimate MacBook Pro you can buy right now. The base model features a 16.2-inch 3456 x 2234 Retina display, Apple M4 Max CPU, 36GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.

A Modern-Day Plague: Infostealers Expose Billions Of Log-In Credentials, Compromising Digital Safety
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Some 30 datasets, filled with 16 billion login credentials that had been stolen by cybercriminals from platforms like Apple, Google, and Facebook, have been found on the dark web, Cybernews reported last week. "This is not just a leak – it's a blueprint for mass exploitation. With over 16 billion login records exposed, cybercriminals now have unprecedented access to personal credentials that can be used for account takeover, identity theft, and highly targeted phishing. What's especially concerning is the structure and recency of these datasets – these aren't just old breaches being recycled. This is fresh, weaponizable intelligence at scale," Cybernews' researchers said. Don't Miss: — no wallets, just price speculation and free paper trading to practice different strategies. Grow your IRA or 401(k) with Crypto – . Following the release of that information, experts are warning CNBC that infostealers — a form of malware that extracts sensitive information from personal devices— are becoming a modern-day plague. Co-founder of the cybersecurity consultancy Security Discovery, Volodymyr Diachenko, worked on the Cybernews discoveries. He told CNBC that infostealers have become so pervasive that, "Someone, somewhere, is having data exfiltrated from their machines as we speak." Not all of the data included in the logins was fully original, Diachenko says. Large portions of it were likely outdated or duplicates, but it still provides much-needed perspective on just how much of our supposedly private information is circulating on the web. Trending: New to crypto? on Coinbase. Palo Alto Networks' (NASDAQ:PANW) president of Asia-Pacific and Japan, Simon Green, also told CNBC the Cybernews findings are alarming but not totally unexpected. "Many modern infostealers are designed with advanced evasion techniques, allowing them to bypass traditional, signature-based security controls, making them harder to detect and stop," he said. According to these experts, there has been a significant uptick in major infostealer attacks thanks to underground markets that provide this malware. Often located on the dark web, these markets supply malicious tools for a fee, and have created demand for cybercriminals to steal the data and then sell it on to scammers."Cybercrime-as-a-Service is the critical enabler here. It has fundamentally democratized cybercrime," Green told CNBC. These data breaches now represent a "vast, interconnected web of compromised identities" that can fuel subsequent attacks, he continued. Vice president of threat research & intelligence at cybersecurity company Artic Wolf, Ismael Valenzuela, told CNBC that with the increase of malware and internet use, it's safe to assume that most people will come into contact with an infostealer at some point. Frequent password updates and multifactor authentication have become more important than ever, Valenzuela says.

From the Archives: Kirsten Dunst as the Young Queen in Sofia Coppola's Film Marie Antoinette
'Teen Queen,' by Kennedy Fraser, was originally published in the September 2006 issue of Vogue. For more of the best from Vogue's archive, sign up for our Nostalgia newsletter here. Sofia Coppola's film Marie Antoinette, covering the nineteen years that fabulous and tragic woman spent at Versailles, created a sensation when it opened earlier this year in France. It was filmed largely on location in the palace, with unswerving support from the directors of the museum. For the two leading actors—Kirsten Dunst as the young queen and Coppola's cousin Jason Schwartzman as King Louis XVI—it was a transformative experience to walk in rustling silk and tapping heels through halls filled with ghosts. For Dunst, exquisitely but unstuffily costumed by Milena Canonero (who deserves an Oscar for this work), it was a very sensual role. 'You breathe differently in those dresses; you move in a special way,' Dunst says. To prepare herself, on the night a scaled-down crew was filming her in the emotionally charged balcony scene, she walked alone through the palace in the dark. 'I could look in those mirrors,' she says. 'Be still in myself. Feel my place in that house.' It is Coppola's third full-length film, after The Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation. With a $40 million budget, it is by far her most ambitious project. She was aware that her subject is controversial—that people, especially in France, either see the queen as a saint and martyr or really, really hate her. But Coppola forgot about all that and brought her own Marie Antoinette to life. In her film, history is seen from a very feminine young woman's point of view. In the director's mind it forms a trilogy with the previous two films, exploring the theme of young women discovering who they are. The queen's love of fashion particularly interested her. 'You're considered superficial and silly if you're interested in fashion,' Coppola says. 'But I think you can be substantial and still be interested in frivolity. The girl in Lost in Translation is just about to figure out a way of finding herself, but she hasn't yet. In this film she makes the next step. I feel that Marie Antoinette is a very creative person.' In 1770, the fourteen-year-old Archduchess Marie Antoinette left her home in Austria and traveled to meet her fifteen-year-old fiancé, the dauphin, heir to the throne of France. She was an attractive little thing, with blonde hair, blue eyes, a fine pale skin, and the pouting Hapsburg-family lower lip. She was the fifteenth child of a formidable mother, the Empress Maria Theresa, who led her huge empire so efficiently that she went on reading state papers while she was giving birth. At the last minute it had been discovered that the future bride (who liked dancing and playing with children and dolls) could barely read and write. Her mother arranged for a crash education and a makeover, including cosmetic dentistry, a less provincial hairdo, and a complete new wardrobe of French-style clothes. Then the girl rolled through the forest in a special gilded coach with gold roses (symbol of the Hapsburgs) and lilies (symbol of the Bourbons) nodding in a topknot on the roof. Behind the huge glass windows she was like a jewel in a padded case. From now on, her mother had warned her, all eyes would be upon her, and she should do what she was told. Maria Theresa had anxious premonitions; her girl was lively and affectionate in nature but had the attention span of a flea.
