BILLIONAIRE: How Dolly Parton Avoided 3 Comma Status

Description: The Observer's thesis is simple: Dolly Parton had the earning power to potentially become a billionaire, but repeatedly chose to deploy her wealth for philanthropy, education, job creation, and community development instead. Her legacy, the article argues, is not that she failed to reach billionaire status, but that she intentionally prioritized helping others over accumulating a larger fortune. Peter Cullen, the legendary voice actor best known as the voice of Optimus Prime in the Transformers franchise, has died at age 85. TMZ reported that Cullen died on August 26, 2026, at his home in Los Angeles. His agent confirmed the death, though a cause of death was not immediately disclosed.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
