The most common ways people waste money

We all like to think we’re smart with our money, but sometimes we’re our own worst enemy. Here are some of the biggest ways people end up wasting cash. 1. Spending Unnecessarily. Too often, people spend money on things they don’t even need. Billionaire Warren Buffet used a $20 flip phone before upgrading to an iPhone. 2. Buying New Cars Most cars lose 20% of their value once they leave the dealership, and 60% over five years. 3. Dining Out Dining at restaurants should be an occasional treat, not a frequent expense. 4. Daily Coffee Coffee lovers enjoy their daily caffeine fix, but purchasing an expensive cup from your favorite coffee chain can quickly drain your wallet. 5. Drinking Bottled Water. In addition to being harmful to the environment, bottled water is an unnecessary expense when you can simply drink tap water. 6. The Lottery Buying lottery tickets is a poor gambling habit; instead of spending money on unlikely chances for a big payday, it's more sensible to focus on paying off debts. 7. Living The High Life Living beyond your means can lead to debt and high interest rates, so refrain from tapping away at your credit card if you can’t afford it. 8. ATM Fees Using ATMs that aren’t part of your bank’s network comes with extra fees that can add up over time.

How these music artists built their billion-dollar fortunes

Becoming a billionaire in the music industry is incredibly rare, but a select group of artists have managed to use their fame to amass massive fortunes. Dr. Dre is the latest name to be added to the list: The hip-hop icon, born Andre Young, recently joined the Forbes Billionaires list, cementing his place alongside industry giants. Young went from being a founding member of the hip-hop group NWA to producing legends like Eminem and 50 Cent, laying the foundation for his success, although it was his business moves that truly changed the game. Co-founding Beats Electronics and later selling it to Apple for $3 billion proved to be a turning point. He even once proudly told Forbes, “I don’t chase money, I try to make the money chase me.” Dre now joins Jay-Z as only the second hip-hop billionaire on Forbes’ list. Jay-Z built a $2.5 billion empire through ventures like Roc Nation, luxury champagne, and investments in companies like Uber. Then there’s Rihanna, whose fortune largely stems from her Fenty Beauty brand, which she launched in 2017. The brand is widely credited with reshaping the beauty industry by setting a new standard for inclusivity, offering an unprecedented 40 foundation shades at launch and pushing competitors to expand their ranges while embracing more authentic representation. Others have taken different paths. Taylor Swift became a billionaire largely through music itself, driven by the massive success of her record-breaking Eras Tour, which generated over $2 billion in ticket sales worldwide. On top of that, in May 2025, she announced she had repurchased her recordings from Shamrock Capital, the private equity firm that had acquired them from Scooter Braun in 2020.
