Jared Kushner BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Jared Kushner has stormed into headlines this week with moves that signal both business ambition and strategic repositioning on the global stage. The most biographically significant update comes as Affinity Partners, his private equity firm, clinched an 8 percent stake in UK digital lender OakNorth, a fintech valued at $2.8 billion and plotting a major US expansion. Sources like Sky News and AInvest describe this as a power play showcasing how Gulf states, especially Saudi and Qatari sovereign wealth funds now backing Kushner, are pivoting from traditional petrodollar diplomacy towards cutting-edge Western tech. This deal is not just financial but deeply geopolitical, with analysts noting potential regulatory scrutiny given Kushner’s high profile and Middle Eastern links. OakNorth’s US ambitions and Kushner’s deepening involvement in cross-border innovation set the stage for long-term shifts in digital banking and capital flows.
On the career front, 6sqft and the New York Times report Kushner will soon step down as CEO of Kushner Companies as he transitions to an exclusive role as a presidential advisor with Donald Trump’s ongoing administration. Ethics experts quoted in these stories raise questions about the murkiness of financial disclosures and lingering influence, but Kushner is clearly formalizing the move from real estate tycoon to full-time political consigliere.
Social media footage making the rounds, as shared on Instagram, confirms Kushner’s presence alongside Ivanka and former President Trump at a recent White House flagpole event, reminding the public that his proximity to power is anything but casual. He was also seen in Venice with Ivanka ahead of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s A-list wedding, with People magazine detailing the couple’s stylish arrival amid a parade of celebrities—yet another reminder of the Kushner-Trump axis in elite global circles.
On the business gossip front, PE Insights, Fortune, and Reuters all rank the OakNorth investment among the week’s most important private equity stories, reinforcing Kushner’s status as a mover in global finance.
In the chattier corners of the internet, there’s plenty of speculation about Ivanka, not Jared, possibly organizing a UFC cage fight for the 250th US Independence Day at the White House but nothing placing Kushner directly in the planning. For now, Kushner’s own social profiles have stayed workmanlike and quiet, amplifying news about Affinity Partners and his ongoing business footprint but avoiding direct commentary on the mounting political drama around the Trump family. The biographical weight is clear: Kushner is evolving from presidential son-in-law to major international financier with a political hand never far from the table.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
