The Curve

Did Ozempic Just Kill WeightWatchers?

11 May 2025

Description

Vic’s Roman holiday was less Eat Pray Love and more Eat Pray Calculate, as she breaks down the economics of the Colosseum (€1.4 billion a year, no biggie), how the Trevi Fountain is basically a coin-powered charity machine, and why the Vatican might secretly be the hottest hedge fund in town. Plus, we bid an emotional arrivederci to Warren Buffett as he steps down from Berkshire Hathaway - if you’d invested $1k when he started, you’d have $55 million today. Gulp. We also chat about the rise and fall of Weight Watchers, Barbie’s factory exit from China, and Palantir's explosive 45% rise this year, proving AI isn’t just a buzzword - it’s big business.WTF Does That Mean?
