Jared Kushner BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Jared Kushner has made notable waves this week, both in the business world and on the international social scene. Sky News and Reuters report that Affinity Partners, the private equity firm founded by Kushner after leaving the White House, is acquiring an eight percent stake in UK-based digital bank OakNorth. The deal, set for completion in the coming weeks, places Kushner at the center of a transatlantic fintech play as OakNorth seeks to aggressively expand in the US with backing from global heavyweights like SoftBank and Singapore’s GIC. The firm’s rapid US loan growth, ambitious plans, and possible future New York IPO give this deal real long-term significance in Kushner’s business biography, signaling a pivot toward global banking as opposed to standard US real estate and politics. Coverage from TS2.tech, Sky News, and Thomson Reuters paints this move as Kushner banking on the next big European-to-US finance story, keeping his reputation as a canny dealmaker alive.
Socially, Kushner and his wife Ivanka Trump have been highly visible in Venice, Italy, as they joined the paparazzi parade surrounding Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s headline-grabbing wedding week. People Magazine and entertainment wires showed the pair arriving alongside other A-listers and speculated on their role in what is being described as a star-studded event, further cementing their place in the global celebrity sphere. Their presence drew a flurry of social media chatter, some marveled at their style and others at the blend of power couples converging on Venice.
In quieter but impactful moves, reports from 6sqft.com confirm that Kushner is stepping down as CEO of Kushner Companies, formally marking his move away from daily involvement in the family’s extensive New York real estate holdings. This stepping back comes amid renewed speculation about his advisory role as Donald Trump gears up for a second Oval Office term suggesting, as ethics experts quoted by The New York Times point out, that Kushner’s evolving business and political ties will continue to raise questions about the intersection of wealth, influence, and government service.
Lastly, persistent media analyses like those by The New Yorker and NNPA examine Kushner’s post-White House financial fortunes, particularly his success in attracting billions from Middle Eastern sovereign funds for Affinity Partners. While the scale of these dealings is undisputed, they are wrapped in controversy over potential conflicts of interest, especially as Trump family business activities are again under the microscope.
In sum, in just the past few days, Jared Kushner has captured headlines with a major UK fintech acquisition, basked in the glow of global celebrity matrimony, and quietly reoriented his business life away from real estate toward high finance, all while the specter of political entanglement continues to follow him. There are swirling rumors about future political involvement and the ever-present ethical debates, but for now, the facts tell the story of a power player who continues to move in rarified circles, blending business, society, and the faint drumbeat of future political intrigue.

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.
