Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani Predicted to Win Third Consecutive MVP Award
Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani Predicted to Win Third Consecutive MVP Award originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Last season, Los Angeles Dodgers' superstar, Shohei Ohtani, won the first-ever MVP award for a primary DH. It was his third such award and his second in consecutive seasons. This season, it appears he's well on his way to earning a fourth. Advertisement In a poll conducted by 41 respondents were polled on who they thought were going to be named AL and NL MVPs. On the AL side, New York Yankees' star Aaron Judge predictably leads the field. On the NL side, Ohtani is the favorite, garnering 31 first-place votes, leading Pete Crow-Armstrong, who has five. Jason Foster wrote this about Ohtani: 'Ohtani hit .260 with six homers and an .834 OPS through his first 24 games. After his historic 50-50 season, that felt underwhelming. Since then? How about .316 with 16 homers and a 1.196 OPS? His 22 homers are tops in the NL and his 1.045 OPS entering Monday ranked second. And now that he seems to be well on his way back to the mound? He could be headed to another unanimous MVP Award.' Los Angeles Dodgers two-way player Shohei Ohtani (17) reacts at bat during the first inning against the New York Mets at Dodger Parkhurst-Imagn Images To Foster's point, if Ohtani does well in his return to the mound, the MVP award is his to lose. But other than pitching, Ohtani has already compiled an astounding stat line. In 233 at-bats entering Tuesday, Ohtani is hitting .292/.386/.661 with 23 home runs and 64 runs, both of which lead the MLB. His .661 SLG leads the National League, and he has also tallied 11 steals. Advertisement Ohtani is one of 14 players who have won back-to-back MVP awards. However, if he should win one this year, he will join a club of only one other player to win three consecutive MVPs. Barry Bonds holds the MVP winning streak with four in a row (2001-2004). But this isn't the only rare feat Ohtani is on the cusp of achieving. Should Ohtani win another MVP in his career, he will have claimed his fourth. Again, the only other player in this exclusive club is Bonds, though Ohtani has a long way to Related: Dodgers' Tanner Scott Drops Three-Word Message on Latest Struggles This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 3, 2025, where it first appeared.

North America High-Net-Worth Individual Population Surges, While Europe and Middle East Shrink: Capgemini Report
U.S. led the world in growth in its millionaire population, adding 562,000 to reach 7.9 million Ultra-high net worth individual population rises by 6.2% worldwide High-net-worth individuals now allocate 15% of their portfolios to alternative investments, including cryptocurrencies PARIS, June 04, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Capgemini Research Institute's World Wealth Report 2025, published today, reveals the global high-net-worth individuals1 (HNWIs) population rose by 2.6% in 2024. Now in its 29th edition, the report finds this increase was driven by the growth in the population of ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), which grew by 6.2%, as strong stock markets and AI optimism boosted portfolio returns. The data indicates that alternative investments2, such as private equity and cryptocurrencies, are now an established presence in HNWI holdings, representing 15% of their portfolios. Bullish stock market performance in the U.S. fuels wealth increaseA favorable interest rate environment and strong U.S. equity market returns helped boost wealth creation in 2024. North America saw the biggest gains, with the HNWI population rising by 7.3%. In contrast, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East saw declines in their HNWI populations, as macroeconomic challenges weighed. At the end of 2024, according to Capgemini's research: Europe's HNWI population declined 2.1% due to economic stagnation in major countries, with United Kingdom, France and Germany losing 14,000, 21,000 and 41,000 millionaires, respectively. In contrast, Europe's UHNWI population rose 3.5%, reflecting increased wealth concentration. Asia-Pacific's HNWI population increased 2.7%, with notable variability across the region. Latin America's HNWI population declined 8.5%, due to currency depreciation and fiscal instability. Brazil (-13.3%) and Mexico (-13.5%) witnessed the biggest population declines. The Middle East's HNWI population declined 2.1%, driven by lower oil prices. Within the largest individual markets, the U.S. was the clear leader, adding 562,000 millionaires as the country's HNWI population grew by 7.6% to 7.9 million. India and Japan were standouts in the Asia-Pacific region, with both countries registering 5.6% growth, adding 20,000 and 210,000 millionaires, respectively. In contrast, growth in China was negative, with HNWI population declining by 1.0%. Next-gen HNWIs seek wealth management firms that align with investment prioritiesWealth management firms are actively preparing for a new era of wealth transfer in which 83.5 trillion USD3 will change hands over the next two decades, creating the next generation of HNWIs4. According to the report, this handover will unfold in three phases: 30% of HNWIs will receive an inheritance by the end of 2030, 63% will inherit wealth by the end of 2035, and 84% by 2040. "The great wealth transfer will be a defining moment for the industry. Despite global wealth on the rise, 81% of inheritors plan to switch firms within one to two years of inheritance. Potentially losing these unsatisfied clients is going to create significant risk for the global wealth management sector," said Kartik Ramakrishnan, CEO of Capgemini's Financial Services Strategic Business Unit and Group Executive Board Member. "The next-generation of high-net-worth individuals arrive with vastly different expectations to their parents. This necessitates an urgent shift away from traditional strategies to effectively cater to their evolving needs on this wealth journey. Firms must also prepare to equip advisors with the digital capabilities, potentially augmented with agentic or generative AI, to mitigate the risk of losing both clients and key employees." As of January 2025, HNWI investors parked 15% of their portfolios in alternative investments, including private equity and cryptocurrencies. They are willing to take more risks to expand their wealth – allocating capital to higher growth asset classes and niche product offerings, notably by 61% of millennial and Gen Z HNWIs. To attract next-gen HNWIs, wealth management firms must rethinkThe report highlights that wealth management firms need to refresh and revamp their services and offerings to resonate with the next-gen HNWI customer base. Including: Private equity and cryptocurrencies: 88% of advisors observe a greater interest in alternative assets amongst this group of investors over baby boomers New offshore booking centers: 50% of advisors indicate their lack of capabilities in emerging wealth hubs – Singapore, Hong Kong, UAE and Saudi Arabia – will drive these clients to alternate firms, as they seek diversification, better returns and a favorable regulatory environment Tailored services: concierge services such as luxury travel, medical care, and safeguarding against cyber threats, rank as the top non-financial value-added service most sought after Digital interactions: advisors rank a digital platform providing a holistic client view and actionable insights as the most important capability to effectively serve next-gen HNWIs, followed by intelligent automation of operational tasks like meeting summaries and emails Insufficient support from wealth management firms makes advisors a flight riskAccording to the report, one-in-three advisors express dissatisfaction with their firms' lack of digital capabilities, negatively impacting their productivity, and creating a technological divide. In addition, 62% of next-gen HNWIs say they would follow their advisor if they moved to a different firm. Altogether, this directly impacts retention, as advisors struggle to engage these digital-native clients. Beyond digital resources, the industry is on the cusp of a talent shortage amid an unprecedented transfer of wealth to Gen X, millennial, and Gen Z inheritors. In the next 12 months, one in four advisors plan to be on the move, with a majority transitioning to a competitor firm and a few starting their own ventures. Additionally, 20% of advisors say they will retire by 2035, with 48% planning to retire by 2040. As the great wealth transfer unfolds, the wealth management industry will need to reimagine product offerings through tailored investment options for next-gen HNWIs. Firms must empower and engage advisors with an intuitive digital experience across all channels to secure their loyalty, the report concludes.
