The Aussie Billionaire Trying to Snatch Victoria’s Secret.

from The Curve

She’s back! Soph has returned to the studio - and just in time, because there’s a lot to unpack this week. First up, big changes to KiwiSaver: if you’re earning over $180K in NZ, the government has decided you’re rich enough and doesn’t want to chip in anymore. Cool cool cool. Meanwhile, Vic unpacks the UnitedHealthcare scandal - including CEO assassinations (yes, really), fraud investigations, and share price plummets. Then it’s over to Victoria’s Secret, where one Aussie mogul is sneakily trying to buy his way in, but the board’s not having it (cue poison pill drama). And to round it off, UK inflation’s jumped to 3.5% - so maybe hold off on that second maple bacon pastry.WTF Does That Mean?
