  10. Billionaire on pace to become world’s first trillionaire by 2027, report says

    #Elon #Musk is on pace to become the world’s first #trillionaire by 2027, according to a new report from a group that tracks wealth.

    Informa Connect Academy’s finding about the boss of electric carmaker Tesla, private rocket company SpaceX and social media platform X (formerly Twitter) stems from the fact that 💥Musk’s wealth has been growing at an average annual rate of 110%.

    🔸He was also the world’s richest person, with $251bn, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, as the academy’s 2024 Trillion Dollar Club report began circulating Friday.

    The academy’s analysis suggested business conglomerate founder #Gautam #Adani of India would become the second to achieve trillionaire status. That would reportedly happen in 2028 if his annual growth rate remains at 123%.

    #Jensen #Huang, the chief executive officer of the tech firm Nvidia, and #Prajogo #Pangestu, the Indonesian energy and mining mogul, could also become trillionaires in 2028 if their trajectories hold.

    #Bernard #Arnault, the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton boss and the world’s third-richest person with about $200bn, is on track to eclipse a trillion dollars in 2030 – the same year as #Mark #Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta.

    A handful of companies have secured valuations of more than $1tn. #Berkshire #Hathaway most recently topped the valuation in late August, days before its architect Warren Buffett celebrated his 94th birthday.
    #Nvidia joined the $1tn club in May 2023 and in June hit $3tn, positioning it at the time after #Microsoft and before #Apple as the world’s second-most-valuable company.
    However, as CNBC noted, the question of who might be the globe’s first trillionaire has fascinated the public ever since the world crowned its first billionaire in 1916. That was the US’s John D Rockefeller, the founder and at the time largest shareholder of Standard Oil.

    ⚠️Despite that fascination, many academics see the accumulation of immense wealth as a #social #ill.
    ❌One report calculated that the richest 1% of humanity account for more carbon emissions – a primary driver of the ongoing climate crisis – than the poorest 66%.

  11. [Gift article] #Maine interlibrary loan [#ILL] system on hold for weeks because of contract dispute

    #Library directors throughout the state say temporarily losing the book sharing will be a challenge going into their busiest time of year.

    by Gillian Graham
    June 6, 2024

    "On any given day, the Scarborough Public Library receives up to a dozen crates packed full of books borrowed from other libraries across the state and sends out nearly as many. Over the course of a year, nearly 60,000 books come and go from the town library through the statewide #interlibrary loan program, which allows patrons to borrow books from other libraries at no cost.

    "But that borrowing is on hold at more than 200 public, school, academic and special libraries across Maine – and is likely to be unavailable for most of the summer – while the state navigates a legal appeal over its contract for the delivery of those books.

    "Chip Schrader, director of the Scarbrough Public Library, stands next to crates on Wednesday that are usually full of interlibrary loan books. The interlibrary loan service could be on hold for much of the summer because of a legal dispute over the contract for the service that delivers the books. Schrader says that they typically receive about eight crates of books a day through the interlibrary loan service.

    "'We feel like we’re trying to thread the needle a little bit. We’re trying to be understanding of all sides of this issue, and our patrons are as well,' said Chip Schrader, director of the Scarborough library. 'But it’s a big hiccup in services for us. It’s definitely going to interrupt the natural flow and is making our staff a little anxious.'

    "The current state contract had already been extended for a year and ends on June 30. The #MaineStateLibrary, which is in charge of arranging this service, went through a competitive request for proposals earlier this year and selected STAT Courier to take over delivery starting in July. But an unsuccessful bidder filed an appeal and the state library cannot sign a new contract until that appeal is settled.

    "Maine State Librarian Lori Fisher said she could not name the unsuccessful bidder or talk about the bids because the attorney general’s office has advised her not to. Fisher also would not disclose the amount of the winning bid because of the pending litigation. In a post on its website, the state library said all bids came in 'considerably higher' than current costs and that the annual cost for libraries to use the service is still being calculated.

    "Maine InfoNet, which coordinates library systems statewide, notified all libraries on Monday that it was turning off all new requests the following morning, and it could be offline for at least six weeks."
