On July 28, 2017, The Atlantic announced that Bradley had sold majority ownership of the publication to Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of former Apple Inc. chairman and CEO Steve Jobs, through her Emerson Collective organization.

The Atlantic has faced intense scrutiny in recent days for an unflattering report about former President Trump that has been declared everything from "false" to a "hit piece" by critics and even those involved with the story, and a look at the high-powered owner of the liberal publication reveals a "genuine friendship" with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Billionaire philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Apple visionary Steve Jobs and one of the wealthiest people on earth, owns the Emerson Collective, which purchased a majority of The Atlantic in 2017.

Powell Jobs and Harris are both 60-year-old women who rose to prominence in liberal Northern California, but they have much more in common. The New York Times reported last month that Powell Jobs, who is reportedly worth north of $11 billion, is one of Harris’ "most essential confidantes" who has shelled out cash and provided counsel in order to help expand the vice president’s public profile.
