Jared Kushner BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Jared Kushner has been back in the national spotlight in recent days for a variety of reasons that collectively highlight both his financial ambitions and ongoing proximity to political power. The New Yorker, as detailed in a recent conversation on Democracy Now, has reported fresh scrutiny around Kushner’s private equity firm, especially its rapid accumulation of as much as 4.8 billion dollars in assets under management, primarily sourced from foreign sovereign wealth funds. The most notable investment remains the 2 billion dollars Kushner secured from the Saudi Arabian public investment fund. Even as some advisers warned against the move citing Kushner’s lack of a private equity track record and the risk of this being perceived as a payoff to the Trump family, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly gave his personal go-ahead. There are further suggestions, according to Democracy Now and The New Yorker, that funds from the United Arab Emirates and Qatar also play a major role in his firm’s portfolio—all of which amplifies ongoing questions about conflicts of interest and the Trump family’s aggressive pursuit of wealth post-White House.

In business news, there have been unconfirmed but widely circulated reports that Jared Kushner may be involved in a developing bidding situation for a high-profile commercial property overseas, though Law360 identified private equity giant KKR as leading the current contest for Nissan Motor’s headquarters, leaving Kushner’s role, if any, unclear at this time.

On the personal side, AOL reports have ignited some social media chatter about a falling-out between Kushner and Michael Boulos, who is married to Tiffany Trump, over a failed yacht deal that apparently soured relations within the extended Trump clan. While neither Kushner nor Boulos has commented on the episode directly, the story has gotten traction on celebrity and business gossip blogs.

Meanwhile, AOL and several celebrity news outlets highlighted both Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump making a very public appearance together taking a pensive walk in Central Park, fueling further speculation about the couple’s mood amid renewed scrutiny of their finances and continued political involvement. Previous weeks also brought stories about their travel, with IMDB referencing their vacation in Israel, which coincided with public drama stateside surrounding the January 6 Committee’s hearings.

In summary, the big headline is Kushner’s private equity windfall and the unresolved questions about foreign cash and influence intersecting with the Trump family’s ongoing prominence. The yacht business kerfuffle and Central Park appearances add to the intrigue but do not compare in long-term significance to the burgeoning wealth and the international connections currently under the microscope.

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.
