We know very little of Magic Leap. And yet, it continues to be on a path toward greatness. 

The augmented reality company just closed on $502 million in funding, propelling their total venture funding to $1.9 billion. While that's far less than Uber, Slack, and other tech unicorns, Magic Leap is special because it has no product to show for it. 

Well, at least not to the general public. Beyoncé has demoed it as well as investors.

Bey was reportedly bored, and other reports have surfaced that Magic Leap's AR technology is perhaps over-hyped. One of the product demos was actually overblown by a visual effects studio, The Information reported last year.

He was 156 on last year’s list, when he was worth $3.7 billion. On this year’s list, released Tuesday, he dropped to 248. Now he’s only worth $3.1 billion. In 2015, his fortune was worth $4.5 billion.

Instead, a man Trump’s accused of pushing "fake news” — Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who bought the Washington Post — is near the top of the list. Bezos came in at No. 2 with a net worth of $81.5 billion. (Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates still is holding it down at the top.) Read more...

BBC newsman Simon McCoy has reached the stage in his career where he no longer has the capacity to put on a fake smile and bullshit his way through a story he knows is not news-worthy. 

In the past, McCoy has expressed his disdain for surfing dogs, now, he's got it out for the royal family and their unnecessary press releases.

"Now, bearing in mind they announced she was pregnant in September, and it was thought she was around two to three months pregnant, I'm not sure how much news this really is," McCoy said, visibly annoyed.  Read more...

California is now the first state in America to recognize a third gender on driver's licenses and birth certificates.

On Sunday, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed the legislation that will allow residents to identify their gender as female, male, or nonbinary. Senate Bill 179 — the Gender Recognition Act — states that "the binary gender designations of female and male fail to adequately represent the diversity of human experience."

Nonbinary is defined by GLAAD as a term used by people whose gender identities fall outside traditional categories of male or female.

President Donald Trump said some nice things about Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras during a joint press conference on Tuesday — right before he learned Tsipras had once called Trump's ideas "evil." 

“I wish I knew that before my speech," Trump joked, as everyone watching (I'm just assuming) let out little whimpers or affixed their mouths in tight smiles that said, "ha ha, yes, we are all laughing."
