These results seem to point to a society-wide gag rule that discourages the discussion of financial details. But there are caveats. The companies that tend to publish findings like these stand to gain from persuading people to talk more about their money, if not with their loved ones, then with a professional financial adviser. They're also, therefore, more likely to be interested in the psychological drama of people who make $100,000 a year than in that of people who make less.

All Tom Steyer's Money - WSJ
Tom Steyer spent more than $250 million of his own money running for President—enough to buy 6,200 Teslas—before dropping out Saturday after a distant third-place finish in South Carolina. His money didn't win him a single delegate.
He spent nearly $150 million to boost Democratic candidates during the 2014 and 2018 midterms, perhaps hoping they would someday return the favor. He also spent liberally on TV ads calling for President Trump's impeachment. That may have spurred House Democrats, though impeachment seems to have helped Mr. Trump's poll ratings.

Alphabet's Waymo accepts outside money as it raises $2.25 billion | Ars Technica
Until now, Waymo (formerly the Google self-driving car project) has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Google parent company Alphabet. While the company enjoyed a limited amount of autonomy, CEO John Krafcik still ultimately reported to Alphabet brass. Waymo has never published its own financial results, but it's widely believed that Alphabet has absorbed billions of dollars of losses as Waymo has refined its technology.
Now Alphabet won't have to bear the financial burden alone. Waymo says that for the first time it has raised funding from outside investors. The total fundraising round is $2.25 billion—though some of that money is coming from parent company Alphabet. Other investors include Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.
