“Have an interest in business”

Arie v.
1/3/24

Used to having a big interest to the business world and didn't hesitate acquiring forbes magazines to stay tuned. I always liked reading their magazines, cause there are many successful stories of different worldwide entrepeneurs. Other than that, forbes is considered to be the highest social media about financial. So, I'm a satisfied reader, fortunately, nowadays everything's digital.

Top Critical Review

“Extremely biased, irrational views.”

As a non communist, I'm not interested in reading political magazines that stand for communist dictatorship and oppression of people. This magazine clearly favours russian politics, why, I couldnt tell you. It wishes for people to have less freedom?

I get that it can be annoying to see revenue go down thanks to adblockers. I have a site that runs 2-3 ads. Very small, very unintrusive. So when I was promised an "Ad Light" experience, I thought what the hell, why not. And disabled my adblocker. What I was met with was the 7th circle of advertisement hell. I haven't seen this many ads since trying to download cracked minecraft in the 9th grade. What the $#*! forbes. When your advertisements take up more than 80% of the $#*!ing screen, its time to fix that $#*!. I will NEVER use forbes again. In fact I blocked the page in my isp settings. $#*! the clickbait titles. $#*! the advertisements. $#*! Forbes.

Stewart Pinkerton has created a profoundly important book with THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF FORBES, not only because he has a plethora of inside information about one of the wealthiest families in America and is able to share the secrets of this money mad family with the reader, but also because he demonstrates the skills of a brilliant new writer. He has been the managing editor of Forbes Magazine (the topic of this biopic!) as well as deputy managing editor of the Wall Street Journal. If there is anyone more qualified to write about the ills of capitalism and the foibles of the wealthy, they have not stepped forward to deliver such an engrossing, well written book about he subjects as Pinkerton.

The site is very easy to use. Just as the brand itself, it never disappoints. It is always a go to place where you can find the stories of the movers and shakers of modern America.

So many ads that I can't even read the article. It had one on the top that moved constantly and 2 on the bottom that you couldn't even click away. Such a shame.

Forbes has become a blatant liberal Trump bashing fake news source. Zero substance. Propaganda. The American people deserve better. Distateful "journalism."

Racist and discriminatory website, which hides itself in radical opinions. Don't seems to have qualified personel, since their data is very erroneous.

Forbes online touts itself as "home page for the world's business leaders", and such it may be, but if you don't happen to be a world business leader - and let's face it, if you're reading one of my reviews you probably aren't - don't let that put you off. Forbes does devote considerable space to business and high finance, but it also reports on anything in life which has some economical interest or significance. And that's just about everything, when you come to think of it. For example, the current issue has an article about Lady Gaga, not something you'd expect to find in, say, The Financial Times, and frankly it's a gossip article too, but the reason it's there is because it involves her earnings. And that gives Forbes the excuse to write about it. Oh, yes, and what are her earnings, I hear you cry? Sixty-two million, last year, estimated. Not bad. But no need for Oprah to start worrying about her position at the top of the celebs annual earnings table, clocking in at an astonishing $315 million.

(Intriguing or obscene, depending on your standpoint, the list of the wealthiest and most socially sought-after is here:
http://www.forbes.com/lists/2010/53/celeb-100-10_The-Celebrity-100.html)

Forbes is a surprisingly wide and varied venue and well worth spending some time looking around, even if you don't think a magazine for business leaders has anything in it for you. It's an icon of capitalism, though, and as such it may offend some by its absorbing interest in money, and for good reason. If you fall into that category you don't have to visit, of course, but on the other hand it's always worth seeing what the enemy is thinking.

The article is difficult to read and comment. It is very self centered and money oriented without regard for facts.

Forbes company created a 12,800 acre, 3500 lot, subdivision in Missouri called Forbes Lake of the Ozarks Park in 1983-1984, but they failed to bother to get the legally required Missouri Department of Natural Resources approvals to make this subdivision a legal subdivision. Now Missouri DNR has decided to go after all the current lot owners and after the private Forbes Land Owners Association due to Forbes company not following the subdivision laws at that time. Missouri DNR is now considering it illegal for 3500 lot owners, who have been paying taxes and association dues for almost 40 years, from building on or re-selling their lots. This (retroactive) regulating from DNR against those who bought lots in Forbes LOA subdivision in good faith over the last 40 years, believing the subdivision was a legal subdivision, is harming 3500 lot owners. Forbes should step up and do whatever is now required by Missouri DNR to make Forbes LOA subdivision legal. But I doubt that will ever happen because I suspect that money is more important to Forbes than the thousands of people who believed that any subdivision developed by Forbes, and with Forbes name on it, was legal and not a scam.
