It's a production company that has made movies you've probably watched or have definitely heard of (e.g. True Grit, newer Mission Impossible movies, Top Gun Maverick), but more importantly, it's run by Larry Ellison's son, David. As in Larry Ellison the billionaire who founded Oracle and is consistently somewhere in the top 5 richest people globally.

So the answer is having a stupid amount of money to throw about, as usual.

I only just found out about it from this thread.

Yes it should. Kind of in the same way that it should be "I couldn't care less" instead of "I could care less" which I've seen a lot more in recent years.

The birth of the internet and the birth of the world wide web are two differnet things though: The world wide web started in 1989.

Title is misleading, FTA:

Confirmation that I am 63% British and Irish, 17% Danish and otherwise “broadly north-western European”. I felt a resounding ambivalence about the results, including some disappointment that I had not discovered a newfound heritage – a piece of information that would give my identity new dimension.

But also:

My father’s side of the family is meticulous about tracking our ancestry, with records that hold the name of the exact small village in Ireland our ancestors hail from.

Those results often can't narrow down to exact countries so it says he's 63% British and Irish. Seeing as his fathers family has records of being from a small Irish town it's likely he's more Irish that British, not that it means anything if you're actually American anyway.
