This Bezos-Backed Startup Lets You Become a Landlord with Only $100
Collect passive income from real estate without taking on the headaches of being a landlord. You can buy shares of rental properties with as little as $100 thanks to this investment platform backed by Jeff Bezos.
DETROIT, MICHIGAN - June 13, 2025 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - With over $124 million in funded properties and Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos's trust behind it, it's worth taking a closer look at the disruption caused by Arrived, a company that lets users buy shares of America's top properties for as little as $100.
Its business model, which has attracted over 500,000 investors so far, is straightforward: Arrived purchases single-family rentals in up-and-coming neighborhoods and grants its users the opportunity to buy shares of any individual property that gains their trust. Investors then earn passive income through rent while their shares appreciate in value.

Real estate returns have historically outpaced those of stocks, with half the volatility. For reference, real estate prices in the U.S. have historically increased between 5% and 12% annually with the added benefit of consistent rental income. However, Arrived has a strict mechanism in place that's likely to tip the scales in investors' favor and secure annual rates on the higher end.
The company leverages data science, and its team has decades of experience scouring hundreds of markets across the country in search of single-family homes with the highest appreciation potential. To seal the deal, local real estate agents from the area are consulted to share hands-on insights often omitted by data analytics.
Then, Arrived's investment committee gives the green light to the most promising properties, which are then put up online.
Once the property is listed, nonaccredited investors can purchase shares with a single click and secure a completely passive income stream, without the headaches usually associated with owning a rental. Arrived manages each property, handles maintenance requests and finds new tenants - cherrypicked with the same rigor that goes into the property's purchase to secure the most consistent yield for users.
Two types of rentals are offered to satisfy the unique goals of investors: the aforementioned regular rentals, which offer consistent passive income, and vacation rentals listed on Airbnb and similar websites, which offer higher-income opportunities. Investors can also minimize market volatility by investing in different properties from 27 different real estate markets across the country.
If you take all of this into consideration, Bezos's considerable investment in the company comes as no surprise. The founder of Amazon financed the startup, both in the seed round and the Series A round. However, he won't be the only big name at future shareholders' meetings. Arrived's About Us page proudly displays the names of two other heads of companies: Uber Technologies Inc. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi and Salesforce Inc. Co-CEO Marc Benioff, who also invested hefty sums into the company.
So far, over 250,000 investors have chosen to use Arrived's simple buying process to expand their portfolios with America's most promising single-family rentals. After a signup process that's fairly standard for online investment platforms, users can buy shares with a single click. If you're looking to capitalize on America's soaring real estate prices without breaking the bank, it's worth checking out.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez to spotlight Venice's artisanal heritage during upcoming nuptials
VENICE, Italy — Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have invited celebrity friends like fellow space traveler Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey, Mick Jagger and Ivanka Trump for their Venice nuptials later this month, but the couple hopes to put a spotlight on Venice's traditions during the celebrations. They are sourcing some 80 per cent of their wedding provisions from Venetian vendors, according to people close to the couple, as a way to share their appreciation for the romantic lagoon city. The wedding will take place over three days in late June, with events for the some 200 invited guests kept private. Two historic Venetian companies will add artisanal touches to the celebration: Rosa Salva, the city's oldest pastry maker that has been crafting donut-shaped fishermen's biscuits since 1876, and Laguna B, a design studio known for its distinctive handblown Murano glass prized by fashion and design clients. Treats good for fishermen and VIPs alike Antonio Rosa Salva, the 6th generation in his family to run the business, said the wedding order of a selection of surprises for goody bags was important recognition of his family's long tradition of baking Venetian specialties dating back nearly 150 years. They include the bussola buttery biscuit that was long a fisherman's staple, and small zaletti cookies, made from the Veneto region's corn meal, flavored with raisins and lemon zest. 'We try to maintain the old recipes,'' said Rosa Salva, whose family business includes a catering service and four locations in Venice's historic center and one on the mainland. 'We do everything with love. It's a pleasure and a privilege.'' Rosa Salva, whose business regularly caters large events for 1,000 or more people in Venice, is perplexed by posters that have gone up around the historic center protesting the use of the city as a venue for the Bezos-Sanchez wedding. 'Events like this bring quality tourism to Venice,'' he said. 'I don't see how an event with 200 people can create disruptions. It's responsible tourism. It's prestigious that a couple like this, who can go anywhere in the world, are getting married in the city.' Collectible glassware with social responsibility Laguna B was founded by Marie Brandolini, who became known as the glass countess, in 1994, and the company is now being guided by her son, Marcantonio Brandolini, from the family's palazzo overlooking the Grand Canal. The younger Brandolini said his vision is to restore the Venetian tradition of running creative enterprises out of Venice's grand palazzi, which historically dedicated the ground floor to work spaces for the merchant nobility. His is a good example. The company employs 14 people under 30 out of offices in the courtyard and a boutique in an adjacent alleyway, in a sector, he underlined, 'not related to tourism.'' His upstairs neighbors are Diane von Furstenberg and Barry Diller — close friends of Bezos and Sanchez, but he doesn't think that is why the wedding planner picked his company, which is well known among a small network of collectors. Laguna B won't disclose what its master glassblowers on Murano have created for the wedding, but the company is known for distinctive glassware that at times feature an undulating lip – no two alike. 'I hope they like what we did for them,'' Brandolini said. 'For us, it's a great opportunity, it gives extra support for our growth.'' While the business thrives on such important orders, Brandolini said he is equally gratified by young, discerning customers who seek out the shop because they admire Laguna B's commitment to community building, reviving Venice's artisanal heritage and projects to help protect the fragile lagoon. They might buy just a single drinking glass. His is a message of inclusivity, which he also applies to the Bezos-Sanchez choice of wedding venue. 'The world is for everybody. Whoever wants to do something, should be able to do it, following the law,' he said. Venice protests Unsurprisingly in a city whose future is fiercely debated at every turn, the wedding has attracted the attention of protesters, who on Thursday hung a banner on St. Mark's bell tower with Bezos' name crossed out. They cite the risk of disruptions in a city so overrun with mass tourism that officials are for a second year requiring day-trippers to pay a tax to enter on key summer days. City officials have pledged that services will function normally during the wedding, and issued a denial in late March to reports that the wedding organizers had booked half the city's water taxis and blocked out rooms at luxury hotels. 'We are very proud,'' Mayor Luigi Brugnaro told The Associated Press this week in St. Mark's Square, saying he hoped he would get the chance to meet Bezos. 'I don't know if I will have time, or if he will, to meet and shake hands, but it's an honor that they chose Venice. Venice once again reveals itself to be a global stage.''

LMT, RTX, LHX: Defense Stocks Surge as Military Conflict Erupts Between Israel and Iran
Leading U.S. defense stocks such as Lockheed Martin (LMT), L3Harris Technologies (LHX), and RTX Corp. (RTX) are rising after Israel launched targeted attacks on Iran. Confident Investing Starts Here: Media reports say that Israel attacked Iran overnight on June 13, targeting nuclear facilities and military sites. While the attacks have sent global stock markets in Europe, Asia and the U.S. lower, they have led to a surge in the share prices of defense contractors. LMT, RTX and LHX stocks are each up about 5% on news of the largest attack on Iran since the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s. Israel itself has declared a state of emergency as Iran retaliated early on June 13 with a massive drone strike. Some media have raised the prospect of all-out war between Israel and Iran. Gold and Oil While U.S. defense stocks are gaining on news of the military conflict, it appears that Israel has carried out this latest attack on Iran independent of America. U.S. President Donald Trump has said that the American military has not been involved in the attack on Iran. Israel currently employs Lockheed Martin's F-35 stealth fighter jets and other state-of-the-art U.S. military equipment and weapons. In addition to defense stocks, the price of gold is up 1.3% to $3,435.50 an ounce and Brent crude oil, the international standard, is up nearly 10% to $75.14 per barrel. Is LMT Stock a Buy? The stock of Lockheed Martin has a consensus Moderate Buy rating among 15 Wall Street analysts. That rating is based on seven Buy and eight Hold recommendations assigned in the last three months. The average LMT price target of $521.07 implies 11.04% upside from current levels.

Should You Buy Nvidia? These Chip Stocks Are Soaring as AI Demand Remains Hot.
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) continues to dominate the lion's share of the chips going into data centers for artificial intelligence (AI). The company just reported another monster quarter of growth, and the stock is closing in on new all-time highs. There's still a case for buying Nvidia stock, but investors shouldn't put all their chips in one basket (no pun intended). Nvidia is not capturing all the demand for AI semiconductors. Hyperscalers like Alphabet 's Google and Amazon are designing custom chips for specific AI workloads in their cloud services, and this is creating tremendous growth for other leading semiconductor companies. Shares of Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) recently were up 73% and 29%, respectively -- both outperforming Nvidia's 18% return over the last year. These chip stocks can broaden your exposure to the growing demand for AI chips across the data center market. 1. Broadcom Broadcom is a top supplier of custom AI accelerators (XPUs) and networking solutions for data centers and other markets. Its networking business supplies components that help move data at high speeds, which is vital as hyperscalers shift to more advanced AI workloads. Broadcom has reported five consecutive quarters of 20% or more revenue growth. Specifically, AI-related revenue jumped 46% year over year in the most recent quarter. Broadcom is turning this growth into strong profits, with free cash flow reaching $6.4 billion last quarter, representing a high 43% margin on revenue. AI networking revenue, including Broadcom's Ethernet networking products, grew 170% year over year, representing nearly half of its total revenue from AI. This incredible growth in networking signals a massive ramp in computing power to create the next wave of AI applications and services. Broadcom is also supplying XPUs, which are more cost-efficient for specific workloads than Nvidia's general-purpose chips. Broadcom sees at least three customers deploying 1 million custom AI-accelerated clusters by 2027, and it reported on the last earnings call that these large hyperscalers are "unwavering" in their plans to continue investing in the near term. The long-term outlook for custom chip demand should support shareholder returns over the next several years. In fact, management expects custom XPU demand to accelerate through 2026. The stock isn't cheap, trading at a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 38, but the opportunity could justify the premium. 2. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (also known as TSMC) plays a vital role in the global supply chain for the chip industry. It's the largest chip foundry, with more than 65% market share, according to Counterpoint. It makes chips for several companies, including Nvidia, Broadcom, Advanced Micro Devices, and Apple, as well as hyperscalers. The stock is surging to new highs following a monster quarter, during which revenue in U.S. dollars grew 35% year over year. This strong growth was despite weak smartphone revenue in the quarter, representing over a quarter of the company's revenue, due to seasonal demand trends. TSMC has spent decades investing in cutting-edge chip-making technology to meet customer needs for the world's most advanced chips. Its competitive advantage is based on superior manufacturing capabilities and massive chip-making capacity, enabling it to make more than 16 million 12-inch equivalent wafers annually. These advantages enabled TSMC to earn a sky-high profit margin of 41% on a trailing-12-month basis. TSMC is planning to double its chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS) capacity in 2025, indicating growing support for the demand that Nvidia and other customers are experiencing. TSMC recently announced a substantial investment of $165 billion to launch new manufacturing facilities in the U.S., in addition to expansion plans in other geographies. AI accelerator revenue tripled in 2024, and management expects it to double in 2025. Through 2029, the company expects demand for AI chips to grow at an annualized rate topping 40%. Taiwan Semiconductor shares may be the best value among chip stocks right now. The stock trades at just 23 times 2025 earnings estimates, despite analysts expecting 21% annualized earnings growth. While earnings multiples above 20 are historically expensive for chip stocks, these companies are experiencing a once-in-a-generation growth spurt that will likely deliver excellent returns to investors through the end of the decade.
