Bill Gates is one of the best-known billionaires in the world. The Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) founder became the first centibillionaire in 1999, decades before anyone else reached that level of wealth. He's still worth well over $100 billion today despite giving away billions to charitable causes and nonprofits over the past 25 years. Most of his donations go to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which aims to enhance healthcare and reduce poverty around the world.

Several prominent figures — including former Prime Minister Liz Truss — lost their seats.

As of 2022, the average retirement age among Americans was 61, according to a Gallup poll. And it's common for people to leave the workforce in their early or mid-60s. If that's always been your plan, then you may not love the idea of working until 70 -- at least at first. But here are a few good reasons to consider extending your career until your 70 th birthday.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has done a lot over the past five years. Five years ago, it was nearing the bottom of a cycle thanks to a collapse in the cryptocurrency market. Now, it's reaching new highs as its graphics processing units (GPUs) are in high demand for creating artificial intelligence (AI) models. While it would have been nearly impossible to predict all of the places Nvidia has gone over the past five years, I'm going to speculate on where it could go in the next five years.

This enterprise is currently valued at greater than $2 trillion, but I believe it still deserves a closer look.
