Dogecoin Millionaires Are Increasing: Investors With $1M+ In DOGE Revealed
Dogecoin (DOGE) took the internet by storm in 2021 after comments from Elon Musk and a large following on social media. The token has seen some of the largest price increases of any asset of all time; the token is up over 33,000% since its launch in 2013. Who is investing in this project? How much have they made? Let's take a look.

DOGE first began trading in 2013 and did not see much meaningful price action until early 2021 when the token went from a fraction of a cent to nearly $0.75 in four months. This move marked a gain of over 13,000%. The price has since fallen to around $0.20, with a market cap of around $30 billion.

General Discussion / This California business continues to do well

In-N-Out’s billionaire heiress says she stood in line for 2 hours to land a job at her own store when she was just a teenager to shake the ‘stigma of being the owner’s kid’ and ‘earn respect’

Lynsi Snyder’s path to ownership of burger chain In-N-Out is scarred by family tragedy—and defined by the 41-year-old’s unwavering determination to ensure she’d earned her place in the business by gaining the respect of her peers.

Snyder took on the top job at the West Coast chain aged 27 in 2010, leading the business founded by her grandparents in 1948. When Snyder's grandfather, Harry Snyder, died in December 1976 the business was led by his sons Rich and Guy.


Rich Snyder—Lynsi's uncle—died in a plane crash in Orange County in 1993, followed by the death of her father in 1999. At the age of 17, Lynsi Snyder was the last blood relative surviving of the burger dynasty.

But the young businesswoman never wanted to be handed any opportunities courtesy of her surname, so she queued up for two hours outside a new In-N-Out restaurant in Redding, Calif. to land a summer job at the chain aged 17.

"I think that there's a stigma that can come with being the owner's kid," Snyder told NBC's Today and Morning News Now in an interview released this week. "I just wanted to be respected like others, doing it the right way and not having the special treatment."

Her first job at In-N-Out saw Snyder doing the minor jobs expected of new staff: slicing onions, preparing tomatoes and separating salad leaves. No one knew Snyder's identity at the store except its manager, the heiress told Orange Coast Magazine in 2014, ensuring she was treated the same by her colleagues as any other teenager.

In 2024 Snyder's net worth stands at $6.7 billion, per Forbes, after she oversaw the opening of the chain's 400th store and launched in three new states: Colorado, Oregon and Texas.

But her family's painful history is never out of mind for the mother of four, she said: "It really was that family pain and tragedy that really put each leader in its place."

In an homage to her family, Snyder also oversaw the construction of a replica of In-N-Out's first ever restaurant in Baldwin Park, California, which opened in 2014.

In the early days of leading the business Snyder struggled to establish her identity within the family-founded behemoth that employs more than 36,000 people.

"In the earlier days I actually wore pantsuits, and I did that because I felt like I was supposed to," Snyder added.

A flick through Snyder's interviews and Instagram illustrate the In-N-Out owner is anything but the suit-wearing board executive who keeps their work and home life separate.

A musician and fan of drag racing, Snyder oversaw the formation of In-N-Out's "company band," a rock group called .48 special. The Snyders—right back to Harry—have always been avid fans of California's car culture and in 2023 began a multi-year partnership with the National Hot Rod Association.

'The Golden Bachelor' divorce: Couple Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist announce split

"Theresa and I have had a number of heart-to-heart conversations, and we've looked closely at our situation, our living situation, so forth and — and we've kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it's probably time for us to dissolve our marriage," Turner told Juju Chang on "GMA."

Turner, 72, and Nist, 70, married on live television in January with the season's other contestants in attendance, ages 60 to mid-70s.

My Daughter Slept With My Granddaughter’s Boyfriend. All Hell Has Broken Loose.

"What am I'm suppose to do here?"

My family blew up recently. My granddaughter “Evelyn” is 20 years old, attending a local college, and was dating this guy. That relationship ended, because she caught her boyfriend in bed with her mother, “Mia.” Evelyn moved out of her mother’s home and in with me, and has gone no contact with her mother. I am extremely disappointed and disturbed by my daughter’s conduct. But as mad and as disappointed as I am, I do want to continue to have a relationship with her, if only to get a clear answer as to why she did something so awful.

This isn’t good enough for Evelyn, though. Over the past few weeks, she’s basically been trying to round up the entire family to go no contact with Mia, and has adopted a very “with me or against me” sort of attitude about all of this. I get it. She’s very young, and she was grievously betrayed. But it rankles to have a guest in my home telling me who I can and cannot associate with. On the other hand, I sort of agree with her. This is the worst thing Mia’s ever done. But it’s not the first time I’ve been taken aback by something my daughter has done. If it was just a choice of who I want to spend time with, Evelyn is the clear choice, but I resent her putting me in this position. What can I do here?

This chili crunch company was sent a cease-and-desist by David Chang. The owner won’t back down

Based out of New York, now working largely as a one-person team, Michelle Tew has been building her Malaysian food company Homiah since 2021.

Tew, who moved to the U.S. from Malaysia more than 10 years ago, tells TODAY.com that in an effort to ease early bouts of homesickness, she started hosting friends and cooking Nonya recipes inherited from her grandmother, including laksa and a chile-garlic-oil condiment she always knew as sambal.

The latter has placed her — along with several other companies — at the center of a public outcry over Momofuku’s recent attempt to trademark “chili crunch.”

The brand, founded by celebrity chef David Chang, has faced scrutiny over the past week for trying to block other businesses from calling its condiment “chili crunch” instead of what it’s calling the more common name: “chili crisp.”
