Meet daughter of Pakistan's richest person, who once donated Rs 1230000000, still no comparison with Isha Ambani, Akash Ambani, Anant Ambani, her name is…
Shanna Khan is a daughter of Shahid Khan, Pakistan's richest man who has made her own identity as an entrepreneur. Who Is Shanna Khan? Shanna Khan was raised in Illinois, USA, along with her brother Tony Khan. Shahid Khan, their father, is the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL and Fulham F.C. in the English Premier League. Shahid Khan's net worth is above $12 billion and among the richest persons in the world. Shanna Khan's brother Tony, actively participates in the family's sports business like co-founding All Elite Wrestling (AEW). But Shanna has taken a different path and focused on philanthropy, entrepreneurship, and public service. Shanna also works as a district assistant for the U.S. Congressman and co-owns United Marketing Company. Her family has the Jaguars Foundation, which supports vulnerable youth and their families. Once it donated Rs 123 crore to the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital. This was mainly for the university's integrated oncology program. Shanna is married to Justin McCabe, managing director of Wolf Point Advisors. Both of them work for social causes and impact on the community. Shanna VS Amabani Kids Shanna Khan's net worth is reportedly over $20 million which is very less as compared to the wealth of Mukesh Ambani's children, Akash and Isha Ambani and Anant Ambani. Reliance Industries is India's most valuable company with a market cap of Rs 19.45 lakh crore. The Ambani kids work in different businesses of telecom, retail, and energy. While the Ambani play important roles in their family's empire, Shanna Khan has taken a different approach by building a legacy of philanthropy.

Bill aims to minimize treatment delays for North Dakota patients
(Getty Images) The first thing that came to people's minds about Shanna was her smile. It was warm, inviting and just the right amount of mischievous. Her family didn't think much of her fall in September; maybe she missed a step off the deck. She had a headache but nothing so bad that it needed medical treatment. That changed on Sept. 19 when Shanna was life-flighted from Carrington to Fargo with stroke symptoms. After imaging, a neurosurgeon performed an emergency craniotomy, removing part of a tumor applying pressure to the brain. They saw three more inoperable spots. Initial reports determined it was likely lymphoma, but her care team was optimistic. She was a healthy 40-year-old mother, and lymphoma is treatable. I finished my own cancer treatment a year prior. It was breast cancer spread to lymph nodes, so not the same certainly, but I became fiercely protective of my cousin. I was ready to be involved however she needed me to be. We lost my cousin Shanna Barone on Feb. 6, less than five months after the first sign of trouble. It was grueling and heartbreaking and perhaps there was nothing that could have been done to save her life, but dealing with the insurance company's prior authorization requirements certainly cost us time in a process where – aside from cancer — time was perhaps our greatest adversary. Prior authorization is a practice in which physicians must obtain approval from insurers before prescribing medication or moving forward with treatment for their patients. Insurers use this, in part, to contain costs. Physicians report the process can lead to significant delays in care, contributing to negative outcomes in patients, including abandoned treatment. The process was once used sparingly to determine whether costly medical procedures or medications were needed but now providers often must get approval to prescribe even the most routine medications and procedures. This is why I have testified in support of North Dakota Senate Bill 2280, which will place limits on the amount of time insurers can take to make prior authorization decisions. Such limits could have curtailed at least some of the delays faced by Shanna. Senate Bill 2280 has a hearing at 2:30 p.m. Monday in Room 327C of the Capitol. Testimony can be submitted online until 1:30 p.m. Monday. Her team of oncologists submitted prior authorization requests for aggressive chemotherapy and a PET scan upon admittance. She didn't get approval and receive those services until Oct. 3 – an 11-day wait. The PET scan determined a mass in her abdomen, so a prior authorization request was sent for another chemotherapy regimen that would address that as well. She wasn't approved until Oct. 11 – eight days. Her oncologists remained vigilant and switched the plan on Nov. 18. They wanted a better response, so they switched to R-ICE, a combination of four chemotherapy drugs given over several days. They would follow with CAR-T cell therapy, a process that usually takes between three and four weeks to complete. On Jan. 2, Shanna's oncologists submitted the prior authorization request for CAR-T because they knew she would need it sooner than later. Her symptoms increased daily. She lost vision in her left eye, then movement and feeling on that side, then her speech. Her skull skin was so tight around the growing tumor it was shiny. Radiation began then also to buy time waiting for approval. By Jan. 5, she was admitted to the hospital and would never leave. On Jan. 10 – two weeks after the initial physician request — Shanna got 'soft approval' for CAR-T from the insurance company, but they 'couldn't' sign off by the end of the business day and told us to wait until the next week. Formal approval was received on Jan. 14 and the lab processes were completed by Jan. 29. By then, she had declined, so she had to undergo another surgery to place a shunt in her skull to relieve pressure. We were so encouraged by her response — she was responsive and spoke clearly for the first time in weeks. But two days later she declined again. Additional cancer cells had been allowed to grow during the period she waited for approval. Shanna passed away Feb. 7, 11 days after her 41st birthday. Shanna knew her battle would be hard, but she went into it with fiery determination, an intelligent, compassionate care team and family support. Her life depended on decisions she didn't get to make, ones that increased suffering and anxiety in the interim. If a simple set of laws can prevent this situation from happening to another North Dakotan, the decision to pass this bill is an easy one.

Stunning Bernadette in Salem serves fanciful French food
The back story The couple, who live on the North Shore (Shanna is from Swampscott), are raising three boys. Aaron, born in Yorkshire, England, worked for celebrated New York chef Daniel Boulud for almost a decade and cooked in other top kitchens. The duo opened Bernadette in late 2024. The name is the French word for 'brave as a bear,' say the owners, to symbolize strength and resilience. Barbajuan at Bernadette in Salem. Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff What to eat Barbajuan, a specialty of the French Riviera and Monaco, are small fried fritters with Swiss chard and ricotta filling; frisee salad comes with a perfect poached egg, bacon lardons, and lacey-thin toasts; plump mussels from Penobscot Bay are served in a white wine-cream sauce with a crunchy slab of grilled hearty toast; frites (exquisite) with homemade aioli are a lovely accompaniment; vacherin, with orange sorbet and crunchy meringue pieces on top, is a very unclassic and delightful take on the French dessert. What to drink Full liquor license with cocktails like La Vie en Rose (bourbon, hibiscus Lillet) and House of Bernadette (vodka, Lillet, Curacao). A by-the-glass list fits right in with the vibe. It's all French, you're trying pours from Alsace, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire, etc., and producers are solid with very good reputations. Nothing you'd call adventurous. Anyone can find something appropriate to drink right here before venturing into the larger list. Advertisement Marshall Cove Moules Marinières at Bernadette.
