What do Bad Bunny, Patrick Mahomes, and Steph Curry have in common? They’re not just stars in music and sports—they’re also among the top celebrity investors. We’ll dive into the numbers and reveal the surprising ways these names are generating serious returns. From luxury real estate to endorsement deals to intellectual property, their stories highlight an often-overlooked lesson: the power of diversification.
It’s also that time of year when property tax bills hit mailboxes—and homeowners feel the pinch. That sparked a bigger conversation: should you manage your own insurance and tax payments, or let your lender handle it through an escrow account? We’ll unpack how escrow really works, the buffers mortgage companies require, and whether handling it yourself could save you money.
And after the break, we’ll tackle the markets. From this week’s volatility to the ongoing debate over inflation, the likelihood of interest rate cuts, and whether we’re in an AI bubble, we’ll cover what’s driving investor sentiment. Plus, we’ll look at earnings from retail giants like Walmart and Target, and why some big-name tech stocks are shifting from growth stories to value plays—even with sky-high valuations.
Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty.
