Want your son to be a CEO? New study reveals the most powerful male name in the US — and you won't guess what it is
It's not Tom, Dick, or Harry. A new study has revealed that Robert is the most powerful male name in America, with a whopping 21 of the Fortune 500 company CEOs bearing the moniker. The analysis was conducted by Profit Engine, with the company interested in examining whether a person's name had an impact on their professional life. 'The patterns we discovered were quite striking,' Jason Morris, CEO of Profit Engline, proclaimed in a press release. 'While correlation doesn't equal causation, these results definitely make you wonder if there's something to the old saying about names shaping destiny.' 'These findings reveal something notable about representation in American corporate leadership,' Morris said. 'The complete dominance of traditional male names isn't a coincidence.' New Africa – Powerful Americans bearing the name include Disney boss Robert 'Bob' Iger and Boeing boss Robert Ortberg. Interestingly, however, no US president has ever been named Robert. 'Robert has been a powerhouse name for decades,' Morris declared. 'It projects authority and tradition, both of which are qualities that boards of directors clearly value when selecting leadership.' Since the year 2000, however, the classic name has fallen far from favor. That year, it was the 29th most popular name for boys born in the US, according to the Social Security Administration. By 2020, it had fallen to number 80. Last year, it slipped further and is now the 90th most popular boys' moniker in America. Profit Engine found that Fortune 500 CEOs were far more likely than the general public to possess traditional names. Dusan Petkovic – If you want your son to be a CEO and you're not a fan of the name Robert, the analysis shows that it's still best to stick to the classics. Profit Engine found that male Fortune 500 CEOs were far more likely than the general public to possess traditional names. After Robert, Michael was revealed to be the second most powerful name, with 19 Fortune 500 CEOs bearing the moniker. James, John, Christopher, William, David, Mark, Timothy, Brian, Andrew, Thomas and Scott followed in that order. 'These findings reveal something notable about representation in American corporate leadership,' Morris said. 'The complete dominance of traditional male names isn't a coincidence. It reflects decades of systemic patterns in who climbs the corporate ladder.' 'What's particularly telling is that we're not seeing the diversity of names that reflects modern America. No Aidens [or] Ethans, despite these being popular baby names in recent decades,' he added. 'This suggests either a generational lag or that certain naming conventions still carry unconscious advantages in professional settings.'

These three ‘golden' visa destinations have become hotspots for wealthy Americans
America's elite are increasingly seeking 'golden' visas. Canada-based Mohamed Bennis, an associate vice president at Arton Capital, told Fox News Digital that many are realizing 'true wealth' is measured by 'freedom of movement.'

'It provides them with almost unmatched mobility, flexibility and security in a world that is becoming increasingly unpredictable.'

Arton Capital advises high-net-worth individuals on the process of investing in citizenship or residency all around the world. Political divisions, said Bennis, have influenced wealthy Americans to weigh their options.

Bennis added, 'The countries with the most smooth and streamlined processes are often the most popular.'

More US tourists visit Canada than Canucks travel to America for first time ever: report
Tourists from the Great White North are giving the US the cold shoulder. In a surprise twist to the ongoing trade war between North American neighbors, July marked the first time ever more Americans road-tripped it to Canada, than vice versa. That month saw 1.8 million US car trips into Canada, compared to 1.7 million Canadian excursions to the Land of the Free, new data from Statistics Canada released Monday found. Cross-border trips between Canada and the US slowed in July, normally the busiest month of the year. Bloomberg via Getty Images Travel in both directions is slumping, however, as trade tensions between the two allies boil over. US visits to its northern neighbor dropped 7.4% from last July — normally the busiest travel month of the year — while Canadian road trips to America nosedived by a staggering 37%. It marked the sixth consecutive month of year-over-year declines in tourism, following President Trump's February announcement that he was implementing tariffs on Canada, while also joking that he planned to make the country the 51st state, which led to Canucks cancelling their US vacations in droves. 1.8 million Americans visited Canada by car in July. AMVShutter – The two countries blew past an Aug. 1 trade-deal deadline and are now locked in a tit-for-tat tariff battle. The US is targeting Canadian goods not covered by the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement with tariffs of up to 50%, and Canada imposing 25% counter-tariffs on billions of US exports.
