The Waste Management Billionaire Setting Real-Estate Records for Fun
Waste management billionaire Patrick Dovigi was at his Aspen, Colo., home when he got an unexpected call from former casino magnate Steve Wynn on New Year's Day in 2024. Wynn wanted to buy the house, though it wasn't on the market. Dovigi paid $72.5 million for the property in 2021, then a record price for the affluent alpine town, and had just finished fixing it up for his young family. 'Initially, I said no. I wasn't interested,' recalled Dovigi.

Apple plans to ‘significantly' grow AI investments, Cook says
Apple on Thursday signaled that it's getting more serious about its plans to catch up in the AI race. 'We see AI as one of the most profound technologies of our lifetime. We are embedding it across our devices and platforms and across the company. We are also significantly growing our investments,' CEO Tim Cook said on the Q3 2025 earnings call with investors. 'Apple has always been about taking the most advanced technologies and making them easy to use and accessible for everyone, and that's at the heart of our AI strategy,' he added. Cook expanded on those comments on the call, noting that Apple was 'reallocating a fair number of people' to focus on AI. 'We have a great, great team and we're putting all of our energy behind it,' he added. AI investments are also driving increased CapEx spending, which was up year-to-date, the company said. However, Apple pointed out that it still employed a hybrid model where it relies on third parties to make capital investments, which is why the figure won't grow exponentially. Ahead of its call, the company shared in an interview with CNBC that it's open to M&A to accelerate its roadmap. The company told the outlet that it has already acquired seven companies this year. None was 'huge' in terms of dollar amount, Cook said. On the call, he added that Apple was making acquisitions at the rate of one every several weeks. Apple has been criticized for having been caught off guard by the AI era; it has announced a number of AI features that it has, so far, failed to ship. The company was even accused of showing off an improved AI-powered version of Siri that wasn't close to being ready to launch. But Apple has defended itself by saying that it doesn't need to rush — that launching the wrong features or the wrong products just to be first would be a mistake. That's especially true if those products don't work as promised. So far, Apple says it has launched more than 20 Apple Intelligence features, including visual intelligence, cleanup, and writing tools. Later this year, Apple plans to launch AI features like live translation and an AI-powered workout buddy, but the more personalized Siri's improvements have been delayed to 2026. On the call with investors, Cook said the company was 'making good progress' on the Siri update. He also shared his thoughts on how AI may impact the iPhone business if new hardware were to emerge. For instance, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg earlier this week suggested that AI glasses would be the form factor for interacting with the new technology, and those without them would be left behind. Cook, naturally, disagreed. 'It's difficult to see a world where iPhone's not living in it,' he said. 'That doesn't mean that we are not thinking about other things, as well, but I think that the [AI] devices are likely to be complementary devices, not substitutions.' The exec declined to answer a question about which AI technologies it believed would ultimately be commoditized, saying that would give away part of its strategy. Apple delivered better-than-expected iPhone sales and record revenue in Q3, which saw its stock pop in after-hours trading. This article was updated after initial publication with more details from the earnings call.

California renters: Do you know what $1,500 gets you in apartment size?
In some California cities, $1,500 in monthly rent might only get you a space under 500 square feet—the same amount that could rent a three- or four-bedroom apartment in other parts of the U.S. To picture what 500 square feet looks like, think of a standard high school classroom—that's about the same size, according to Apartment Another good comparison is a two-car garage, which typically ranges from 400 to 600 square feet, depending on the layout. A recent analysis by Rentcafe looked at how much space $1,500 a month can rent in 200 cities across the U.S., including both large and small markets in California. In Sunnyvale, that's an apartment size of 385 square feet. In the Inland Empire, that's an apartment anywhere from about 500 square feet to less than 700 square feet. Further south, that's a 487-square-foot apartment in Oceanside. But placing these figures next to what you can get outside of California — ignoring factors like differences in the cost of living, housing availability, and what each city has to offer — and renters who prioritize space may find the differences quite jarring. 'Overall, across the nation, renters can get 715 square feet of apartment space for a monthly rent of $1,500,' RentCafe said. 'Still, in 63% of the 200 largest U.S. cities, apartment seekers can get more than the national norm.' Only a handful of cities in the state analyzed in this study can get renters more than 715 square feet for that price. Yet dozens of cities nationwide, including in neighboring states Nevada, Arizona and Oregon, boast more space for the same price. For example, $1,500 gets you over 850 square feet in cities outside of Phoenix like Peoria and Surprise, and over 900 square feet in Las Vegas and other nearby cities like Paradise. Here are the top 10 cities in California with the most space for $1,500 How much square footage can you get for $1,500 in other cities?
