At 71, Fink has built a financial empire managing approximately $10 trillion in assets, including a hefty $20 billion in Bitcoin.&nbsp;
Although relatively low-profile, Larry&#8217;s influence in the financial world is unmatched. His net worth is $1.2 billion, and BlackRock controls a massive 357,509 Bitcoin – an astounding number for any company, let alone one rooted in traditional finance.

<li>Dogecoin millionaires are increasing –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/dogecoin-millionaires"> investors with $1M+ in DOGE revealed!</a></li>
</ul>
Larry&#8217;s rise to power began in 1988 when he cofounded BlackRock with seven others. Over the years, he's worn multiple hats – chairman of the board, executive and leadership committees, and co-chair of the global client committee.
But things truly kicked off for Larry and BlackRock after the 2007-2008 financial crisis. The U.S. government turned to BlackRock to help steer the country from economic disaster, sparking rumors about Larry's close connections with officials like Tim Geithner, Obama's first Treasury Secretary.
Trending: According to Cathie Wood, holding 6 Ethereum (ETH) could make you a millionaire,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/adv-6eth"> here&#8217;s why it can be true</a>.
In 2009, BlackRock acquired Barclays Global Investors, cementing its status as the largest asset manager in the world. However, Larry Fink's name rarely makes headlines, except for when he's invited on CNBC.&nbsp;
He's made a comfortable living running the firm – earning $23.6 million in 2010 and $36 million in 2021. By 2016, BlackRock had already ballooned to $5 trillion in assets and employed over 12,000 people in 27 countries.
Larry's influence extends beyond BlackRock. In 2018, Forbes named him the 28th most powerful person in the world. But there's something more recent that's turned heads beyond the money and influence: Larry's about-face on Bitcoin.
Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund"> would you invest in it</a>?
Just a few years ago, Larry was a staunch Bitcoin critic. Back in 2017, he famously quipped, &#8220;Bitcoin just shows you how much demand for money laundering there is in the world.&#8221; In 2018, he even described Bitcoin as "an index of money laundering" and doubted its legitimacy. &#8220;Bitcoin is not a real investment,&#8221; he said, citing its market volatility as a major red flag.
So, what changed? It's simple – market demand. Over the years, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40656496/trump-got-orange-pilled-in-puerto-rico-bitcoiners-100-million-pitch-that-changed-everythin">Bitcoin </a>has evolved from a niche asset to a mainstream financial instrument with a market cap that rivals the world's largest companies. Larry recognized that BlackRock's institutional clients wanted in, and he couldn't afford to let competitors like Fidelity get ahead.
Trending: 1 in 4 Americans own a share of Bitcoin according to NASDAQ,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/nasdaq-1in4-adv"> how many people got started through this free crypto faucet?</a>
But convincing BlackRock's board wasn't easy. The largest shareholder, Vanguard, has a strong anti-crypto stance, with its CEO recently doubling down on their aversion to Bitcoin. So, how did Larry get the board on board with a $13.7 billion Bitcoin purchase? He framed Bitcoin not as just a cryptocurrency but as part of a larger financial revolution.&nbsp;
He pitched Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation, especially given rising global tensions and threats of de-dollarization. Larry's vision wasn't just about Bitcoin but about tokenizing real-world assets, which he believes will redefine finance.

A six-figure campaign event at a luxury Georgia resort aimed at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/florida-cannabis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opposing Florida's cannabis</a> and abortion amendments ended up losing money rather than generating a profit.
What Happened: The Ron <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39279951/desantis-new-freedom-fund-has-2-stated-goals-defeat-cannabis-legalization-and-abortion-amendment">DeSantis-affiliated Florida Freedom Fund</a>, formed in late-May with the stated goal of defeating cannabis legalization and restoring abortion access, "blew through nearly $116,000 between Aug. 31 and Sept. 6, even though it raised just over $41,000 in the same time," <a href="https://floridapolitics.com/archives/696216-ron-desantis-tied-committee-spends-big-on-georgia-ritz-carlton-retreat-as-it-fights-pot-abortion-initiatives-in-florida/">reported</a> Florida Politics. Most of that, about $115,000, went to cover costs at the Ritz-Carlton in Georgia. This spending constitutes over a third of the campaign's total expenditures since it launched. 
The cannabis legalization initiative, known as Amendment 3, is set to go before Florida voters in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38034138/florida-supreme-court-approves-cannabis-legalization-proposal-for-november-election-in-blow-to-d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the upcoming November elections</a>.
Despite the lavish spending, the committee raised just over $41,000 during the same period, marking the second time its expenditures outpaced contributions. Both the Florida Freedom Fund and Keep Florida Clean, another anti-amendment group linked to DeSantis, have struggled with more spending than fundraising since September. Keep Florida Clean spent more than $286,000 in the same period but raised just $1,600.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pro-Cannabis Committee Is Flush: Millions Keep Coming In</h2>
Meanwhile, Amendment 3, which is now the best-funded cannabis legalization amendment in American history, has no shortage of cash on hand. Led by the <a href="https://drupal-cloudfront.benzinga.com/topic/smart-safe-florida">Smart &amp; Safe Florida</a> committee, the amendment received $90.44 million through Aug. 30, <a href="https://news.ballotpedia.org/2024/09/18/florida-amendment-3-exceeds-previous-records-for-marijuana-legalization-campaign-contributions/">according to Ballotpedia</a>.
As of Sept. 6, Florida's largest medical marijuana company, Trulieve Cannabis Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCNNF#OTC">TCNNF</a>), had contributed $87.77 million in cash and in-kind contributions to the Smart &amp; Safe committee since 2022, reported News Service of Florida, citing a state database.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Anti-Cannabis Committees Having Trouble Keeping Up</h2>
Both the Florida Freedom Fund and Keep Florida Clean committees are chaired by James Uthmeier, DeSantis' chief of staff and former campaign manager when the governor ran for president. As of Sept. 6, the Florida Freedom Fund had a little more than $3.4 million remaining in cash. Keep Florida Clean had just over $3.9 million, noted Florida Politics.
While fundraising has been lackluster, the Florida Freedom Fund received several notable donations, including $25,000 from Next Generation Energy Corporation (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NGMC#OTC">NGMC</a>) and $10,000 from a Pompano Beach retiree. The outlet noted that the committee continues to rely heavily on a mid-August  $12 million donation from Citadel CEO Ken Griffin.

Wendell P. Weeks, chairman and chief executive officer, said,"I'm very pleased with the progress we have made on our ‘Springboard' plan to add more than $3 billion in annualized sales by 2026. The plan leads to an improving return profile, with profits growing significantly faster than sales. Today, we are sharing our Springboard operating-margin target of 20% by the end of 2026."
Weeks continued, "We are implementing price increases in Display Technologies and expect to deliver segment net income of $900 million to $950 million in 2025, and to maintain net income margin of 25%. Additionally, our positive momentum in Optical Communications continues – Enterprise sales are expected to grow by more than 40% year over year in the third quarter, driven by the continued strong adoption of our generative AI products."
Ed Schlesinger, executive vice president and chief financial officer, said, "Our second-quarter results and third-quarter guidance put us well ahead of our ‘Springboard' plan run rate. In the third quarter, we continue to expect sales of $3.7 billion and EPS of $0.50 to $0.54."
Today, Corning management will lead investors through a tour of the company's – and the world's – largest and lowest cost optical-fiber production facility. During the visit, leadership will highlight the company's unique competitive advantage and industry and technology leadership – which enables Corning to capture the significant growth opportunity outlined in its Springboard plan.

Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) is gearing up for the holiday season with new initiatives<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/b40931888/walmart-unveils-its-holiday-plans-with-early-shopping-deals-and-affordable-meals" rel="noreferrer noopener"> aimed at convenient shopping habits</a>.
Leading the charge is the return of its inflation-free Thanksgiving meal, now priced lower than last year, set to launch on October 14.
This year, the retailer also introduced a convenient &#8220;buy one, give one&#8221; donation feature, allowing customers to easily contribute meals to those in need.
According to Deloitte&#8217;s annual holiday retail <a target="_blank" href="https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/about-deloitte/articles/press-releases/Deloitte-Holiday-Retail-Sales-2024-2025.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">forecast</a>, holiday retail sales are expected to rise between 2.3% and 3.3% in 2024. In 2023, holiday sales had a growth rate of 4.3% during the same timeframe.
In the aftermath of COVID, the biggest retailers in the U.S. have captured a significantly larger portion of retail growth, according to a Forbes <a target="_blank" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasongoldberg/2024/05/29/the-holiday-2024-shopping-season-will-be-unlike-any-other/" rel="noreferrer noopener">report </a>released in May.
The report highlighted that Walmart and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) account for about 38% of every additional retail sales dollar, making growth difficult for most other retailers and creating considerable uncertainty.

Walmart is starting holiday savings events, with the first Walmart Holiday Deals event scheduled from October 8 to October 13.
Walmart said it is also expanding its delivery services, reaching an additional 12 million households, which will provide enhanced speed and convenience for customers looking to shop from the comfort of their homes.
Earlier this week, Sam&#8217;s Club, the&nbsp;$86 billion&nbsp;division of&nbsp;Walmart, introduced a fresh workforce compensation plan, which boosted pay for close to 100,000 frontline associates and provided guidance for&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/b40900897/sams-club-reimagines-workforce-compensation-launches-new-plan-focused-on-providing-more-predictabl" rel="noreferrer noopener">longer-term financial futures</a>.
More engaged workers proved productive, offered better service, and were more likely to stay, especially as competition heated up in the retail space.

("RenovoRx" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RNXT#NASDAQ">RNXT</a>), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel precision oncology therapies based on a local drug-delivery platform, today announced that Ripal Gandhi, M.D., FSIR, FSVM will present at the Symposium on Clinical Interventional Oncology ("CIO") which is being held September 20-22, 2024, at the Loews Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida. Dr. Gandhi's presentation will highlight RenovoRx's TAMP (Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion) therapy platform for the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer ("LAPC") and recent publications of clinical data.
Dr. Gandhi, professor of Interventional Radiology at the Miami Cancer Institute and Miami Cardiac and Vascular Institute, Florida International University Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, is a Course Director for the Symposium on CIO. Since 2018, Dr. Gandhi has been instrumental as a principal investigator for the Miami Cancer Institute in RenovoRx's pivotal ongoing Phase III TIGeR-PaC clinical trial in LAPC.
Dr. Gandhi's presentation will&nbsp;provide an overview of the clinical challenges of the standard of care treatment available to LAPC patients. Systemic (intravenous) chemotherapy, while considered the standard-of-care for LAPC, is often associated with debilitating side effects, and may have limited effectiveness in treating this type of cancer due to tumors lacking dedicated blood vessels critical for delivering chemotherapy. Dr. Gandhi will highlight the TAMP therapy platform and the opportunity it may give to LAPC patients as a potential targeted oncology option for treatment.
Dr. Gandhi will also discuss the status of the Company's ongoing Phase III TIGeR-PaC study, which is evaluating the use of the TAMP therapy platform with gemcitabine HCl in patients with LAPC. Additionally, he will review a recent publication in the international peer-reviewed journal, The Oncologist&#xAE;, of early-stage clinical data on the intra-arterial administration of gemcitabine HCl utilizing the TAMP including Phase I/II dose escalation safety study (RR1) and acquired data from a post-marketing post-treatment observational registry study (RR2).
