Now, let’s dive into this week’s biggest stories.

• Who are the HENRYs?
• This is what EV shoppers actually want.
• Nobel Prize-winning economist Angus Deaton is rethinking things.
• Take a tour of Y Combinator’s college-esque HQ.

Disney’s shareholders voted to stick with the existing board by a “substantial margin.” Iger said the company would now focus on shareholder returns and “creative excellence.” Peltz pointed to Disney’s 50% stock surge since he started his campaign as a sign of victory in defeat.

The win follows a few months full of action. Disney made bets on Hulu, gaming, and Taylor Swift. It announced a new sports-streaming platform. It settled its legal dispute with Florida. Iger walked back from “woke” Disney.

But the repeat CEO still has two looming challenges.

First, he needs to find his successor. Iger, who has a history of flubbing this test, stressed after the proxy victory that finding the next CEO is a priority.

Then there’s Disney’s bigger challenge: How to reinvent a 100-year-old company for a new era.

The cable bundle is broken. Movie attendance has crashed. Gen Zers are tuning out streamers. YouTube could be worth as much as Disney and Comcast combined. They’re the kinds of hurdles that will keep Iger and his successor up at night for years to come.

We found, on average, HENRYs are white Gen Xers. An overwhelming majority of them are married. And a fair share have debt.
