Amazon boss Jeff Bezos to push wife Lauren Sánchez for big role in James Bond reboot despite her lack of acting background: Report
Amazon boss Jeff Bezos is making waves beyond the tech world with plans to catapult his wife, Lauren Sánchez, into a major acting role in Hollywood's upcoming James Bond reboot. Insiders say the billionaire's determination to see Sánchez on screen has become a serious priority, leveraging his growing influence in the entertainment industry to make it happen. Sources reveal Bezos' strong push to cast Lauren Sánchez in James Bond reboot According to OK Magazine, Bezos has developed a strong fixation on casting Lauren Sánchez in the new Bond film, describing the ambition as 'obsessed'. Despite Sánchez, a former journalist, not being a professional actress, Bezos' recent acquisition of MGM Studios grants him significant authority over casting and production decisions. According to sources, Sánchez is regarded as his muse, and with billions invested, Bezos expects his vision to be realised. Amazon's $8 billion acquisition of MGM expands Bezos' Hollywood power The 2022 purchase of MGM Studios by Bezos for $8 billion greatly expands his foothold in the entertainment industry. MGM's rich catalogue includes iconic franchises such as James Bond and Rocky, placing Bezos in a prime position to influence major upcoming productions. This acquisition has transformed Bezos from a tech mogul into a major Hollywood player with the ability to shape blockbuster projects. James Bond 26 reboot introduces a new creative team and sparks casting speculation The upcoming James Bond 26 reboot is set to be directed by Denis Villeneuve and penned by Steven Knight, marking a fresh creative direction for the franchise. With Daniel Craig stepping down from the role of 007, the search for a new Bond has triggered widespread debate. Bezos himself fuelled speculation by tweeting about potential candidates for the role earlier this year. Rumours have since linked Lauren Sánchez to a significant part in the film, heightening interest in the reboot. Bezos and Sánchez's dreamy Venice wedding Bezos and Sánchez officially got married on June 27, 2025. The ceremony took place on the stunning island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, and it was quite the star-studded affair. Over 200 guests showed up, including celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Tom Brady. The couple even arrived by helicopter; talk about making an entrance! Instead of asking for traditional gifts, they encouraged everyone to donate to local charities in Venice, showing some love to their host city. Their relationship first made headlines back in early 2019, right after Bezos announced his divorce from MacKenzie Scott. Lauren had just finalised her split from talent agent Patrick Whitesell. But the pair had been quietly seeing each other since around 2016. Fast forward a few years, and Bezos popped the question in May 2023 during a romantic trip to the South of France. It was the start of their official journey toward marriage. After the wedding, Jeff and Lauren kicked off their honeymoon with a grand European adventure. Recently, they were spotted having a blast in Ibiza, Spain, dancing the night away at a nightclub. Meanwhile, fans are eagerly awaiting more updates on the James Bond reboot, including casting details. With Lauren Sánchez's rumored involvement, it will be interesting to see how longtime fans respond to this development.

Most richly-valued company in S&P 500 Index, Palantir's Tech Inc.'s gain nears 2,500%
Palantir Technologies Inc.'s meteoric rise is pushing the company's valuation further into record territory, forcing bullish investors to bank on increasingly robust future growth to justify its current level. Palantir bulls are betting that the company's business performance will support its stock price over the long term, a path taken by many of today's Big Tech elite.(Bloomberg/Representative file image) Shares of the defense maker closed at another all-time high Friday, bringing gains since its 2021 debut to near 2,500%. The stock is up almost 150% this year, a rally underpinned by the company's growing use of artificial intelligence, business ties to the US government and most recently, a stellar earnings report. That surge has made Palantir eye-wateringly expensive compared to its peers: trading at 245 times forward earnings, it is the most richly-valued company in the S&P 500 Index. By comparison, chipmaker Nvidia Corp., another big gainer, trades at just 35 times forward earnings. Palantir is 'turning into a bit of a difficult valuation story to sell, but it's a great company,' said Mark Giarelli of Morningstar Investment Service, who has sell-equivalent rating on the stock. The valuation 'causes heartburn, but that's the story right now.' Plenty of Wall Street pros and retail investors alike are happy to hang on for now, wary of missing out on further upside. Still, it's getting hard for them to ignore the increasingly high bar Palantir must meet to justify its performance over the longer term. Damian Reimertz of Bloomberg Intelligence estimates the company would need to generate $60 billion over the next 12 months to trade at a comparable valuation to its peers. That calculation — based on a comparison of the software companies' enterprise value-to-sales ratio — is many times higher than the $4 billion in revenues Wall Street expects Palantir to earn in fiscal 2025 or the $5.7 billion analysts forecast for next year. Valuation is also a sticking point for Gil Luria, managing director and head of technology research at DA Davidson & Co. Luria praised Palantir's quarterly results and called it 'the best story in all of software' in a recent note. But he estimates that the company would have to grow at 50% annually for the next five years and maintain a 50% margin in order to get its forward price to earnings ratio down to 30, in line with the likes of Microsoft Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. Palantir's adjusted earnings per share are expected to grow at a 56% rate this year, falling to 31% and 33% in the next two years, respectively. In a broader sign of Wall Street's unease, more than twice as many analysts assign the stock sell or hold ratings than buy, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Still, Palantir's shares have become a must-own for portfolio managers concerned with beating performance benchmarks, said David Wagner of Aptus Capital Advisors, which holds shares of the company. 'There's a lot of investors that just can't ignore it,' said Wagner. 'They don't believe in the stock, but they're tired of it just hurting them on a relative performance standpoint.' 'Squint Your Eyes' Palantir bulls are betting that the company's business performance will support its stock price over the long term, a path taken by many of today's Big Tech elite. Online streamer Netflix Inc., for instance, traded north of 280 times forward earnings at a 2015 peak, and now stands at a forward P/E of 40. 'Definitely Palantir is part of that AI craze, but not everything that goes to a valuation of 200 is a bubble,' said Que Nguyen, chief investment officer of equity strategies at Research Affiliates, referring to Netflix. Brent Bracelin at Piper Sandler boosted his price target on shares to $182 from $170 following earnings and maintained his overweight rating. He is counting on the company to continue growing aggressively and sustain high free cash flow margins through 2030, aided by a market for defense spending estimated at $1 trillion in the US alone. 'You have to squint your eyes. You kind of have to believe that these audacious growth goals can be achieved,' he said. Of course, there are numerous examples of stock rallies that cooled when companies couldn't meet Wall Street's elevated expectations. Shares of Tesla Inc. are down nearly 20% this year, in part because the company's results aren't keeping pace with its lofty valuation of about 148 times forward earnings. While Palantir aced its most recent earnings report, its high valuation could exacerbate a selloff if the company stumbles in the future, said Morningstar's Giarelli. 'Palantir is trading at such a high multiple relative to everyone else that there's just so much gravity underneath their stock chart,' he said. 'There's a lot of room below the stock chart for it to reprice in a negative way because it's had such a stellar run.' For Mark Malek, chief investment officer at Siebert Financial, valuations remain a concern. Still, Palantir's potential for growth has kept him holding on to the stock. 'It's uncomfortable to buy it at these levels, but we're not afraid to buy when stocks are overvalued,' he said. 'Where else are you finding 30% growth rates out there?'

Apple iPhone 17 series set to launch in September: Launch date, design, features, price and other things to expect
Apple is preparing for its biggest launch of the year, with the iPhone 17 series. The Cupertino-based company is expected to be unveiled globally in the first week of September 2025. Although the company has not made an official announcement, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman suggests September 9 or 10 as possible event dates. The lineup is expected to include the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and the all-new slim model – iPhone 17 Air , which will replace the iPhone 17 Plus. Apple is also expected to introduce the Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch SE 3 and Apple Watch Ultra 3 at the same event. Apple iPhone 17 series expected design and display Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 series is expected to feature display sizes similar to the current lineup, with the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max retaining their 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch screens. The new iPhone 17 Air is likely to sit between these two in size. The standard iPhone 17 could also grow to 6.3 inches, matching the Pro model. Early reports hinted that the slimmer iPhone 17 Air might be a premium device priced higher than the Pro Max. However, sources now indicate it will be a mid-range model, cheaper than both the Pro and Pro Max but more expensive than the standard iPhone 17. This positions it as a direct replacement for the 'Plus' model, offering a middle ground in size and price. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Living comfortably: 60 m² prefabricated house for the elderly (See more) Prefabricated Homes View Deals Undo All four iPhone 17 models are expected to get ProMotion display technology with a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and video playback, a feature that was earlier exclusive to Pro models. This upgrade will be made possible by LTPO OLED panels. While LTPO displays also allow for an always-on screen, it is not yet confirmed if this feature will come to all models or remain Pro-only. For the Pro versions, Apple may replace titanium with aluminum for part of the frame, while keeping glass for MagSafe charging. This could result in a half-glass, half-aluminum build that improves durability. A new horizontal pill-shaped camera bump may replace the current square design, with the iPhone 17 Air also tipped to adopt this layout. Apple iPhone 17 series expected processor Powering the iPhone 17 lineup is expected to be Apple's new A19 Pro chip, built using TSMC's latest 3nm process for improved speed and power efficiency. For the first time, iPhones could come with 12GB of RAM, allowing smoother multitasking and enabling advanced Apple Intelligence AI features. Apple iPhone 17 series expected camera All iPhone models set to launch in 2025 are rumored to get a major front camera upgrade, moving from the 12MP lens in the iPhone 16 series to a new 24MP sensor. This improvement is expected to deliver sharper photos and allow users to crop images without losing detail. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is tipped to be the first iPhone with three 48MP rear cameras — a Wide, an Ultra Wide, and a Tetraprism Telephoto lens — and may also support 8K video recording for the first time. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to come with a single 48MP rear camera, while the standard iPhone 17 will likely feature a dual-lens setup with Wide and Ultra Wide cameras. The Pro models could introduce a mechanical aperture, allowing users to adjust how much light enters the camera for better control over depth-of-field — a first for iPhones, which currently use fixed apertures. They might also add dual video recording, letting users film with both the front and rear cameras at the same time, a feature popular with content creators but currently limited to some third-party apps. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will continue to offer a 5x Telephoto optical zoom, which will remain exclusive to the Pro lineup. The standard iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air will not include Telephoto lenses or 5x zoom capabilities. Apple iPhone 17 series expected price In India, the iPhone 17 Pro is expected to be priced at around Rs 1,45,990, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max could cost approximately Rs 1,64,990.
