Jared Kushner BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Jared Kushner has been making waves again this week across tech, politics, business, and even the celebrity circuit. According to Ynet and VINnews, Kushner just stepped out of stealth mode with Brain Co., his new San Francisco-based artificial intelligence startup, co-founded with Israeli-American investor Elad Gil. Kushner, through his Miami-based Affinity Partners fund, led a $30 million Series A for the company that also attracted big names like Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and LinkedIn’s Reid Hoffman. The company is pitching itself as a bridge to help large organizations use cutting-edge language models like GPT-5 in actual business settings. Brain Co. has already inked deals with Sotheby’s, Warburg Pincus, several health systems, and government agencies. The venture began quietly in early 2024, with Kushner looping in former Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray for his diplomatic and strategic polish.

Meanwhile, Kushner’s role as Trump’s informal diplomatic whisperer persists. CNN reports he participated in recent high-level White House meetings on the Gaza crisis, offering advice despite no official title. Kushner, who remains close to both Trump and Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is said to be focused on post-war plans for Gaza—but the Trump administration has yet to reveal details, beyond controversial proposals such as population transfers and redevelopment for the territory. Kushner’s unique positioning as a trusted backchannel to Gulf and Israeli leaders still gives him influence behind the scenes.

On the personal wealth front, Forbes just confirmed Kushner officially made billionaire status this year, thanks in large part to Gulf investment capital. Affinity Partners, his private equity vehicle, has ballooned to $4.8 billion in assets, driven by billions from Saudi, Qatari, and Emirati sovereign wealth funds. Kushner has funneled this capital into a range of ventures, including a major stake in Israel’s Phoenix Holdings and a $110 million chunk of the Shlomo Group. These moves have triggered ongoing debate—Middle East Eye notes criticism from Palestinian and human rights groups who point to Kushner’s investments as channeling Gulf money into controversial Israeli settlements.

Social media lit up after Jay-Z and Beyoncé were photographed dining next to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump at the Casino Night Gala for criminal justice reform in Atlantic City, as reported by NBC News and widely shared on X. The image ignited backlash from both fan bases, with accusations flying and debates over political alliances in the celebrity and political elite.

Noise around Kushner’s real estate interests also continues. AOL recently spotlighted local outrage in Serbia over a Trump-branded luxury project, funded by Kushner’s firm, though little new detail has emerged since initial reports.

Finally, in the younger-skewing business press, Business Insider covered Kushner’s recent podcast appearance, where he urged young people to work in government before tech. He described government service as a “two-year business school stint,” calling it a critical stepping stone for building real-world skills and connections.

To sum up, the past week has seen Jared Kushner break cover in AI, wield quiet power in Middle East diplomacy, attract public scrutiny over wealth and political entanglements, and even trend with global pop icons. The drama—sometimes glitzy, sometimes shadowy, rarely dull—remains trademark Kushner. No major confirmed negative headlines for Kushner himself have surfaced this cycle, but the billionaire label, Gulf ties, and Gaza strategy debate are certain to linger. Speculation about his next political or business play, as always, remains high.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
