NYSE celebrates its 94th annual Christmas tree lighting on Thursday. Budweiser's Vice President of Marketing Ricardo Marques explains how the company is getting in the holiday spirit during this celebration.
Budweiser brought one of its iconic Clydesdale horses to the New York Stock Exchange for this 94th annual celebration. Marques says the original Clydesdale made its first appearance in 1933 as a gift from August A. Busch, Jr. and Adolphus Busch to their father to celebrate the repeal of prohibition.
Marques says Budweiser is ramping up marketing for this holiday season around the theme of prohibition by offering a pre-prohibition recipe. This month, Budweiser also announced it is working with the International Space Station to send and study barley into space in December. Marques says this is a step toward Budweiser's goal to become the first beer on Mars.

Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison wrested the title of the world’s richest man from longtime holder Elon Musk early Wednesday as stock in his software giant rocketed more than a third in a stunning few minutes of trading. That is according to wealth tracker Bloomberg. A college dropout, the 81-year-old Ellison is now worth $393 billion, Bloomberg says, several billion more than Musk, who had been the world’s richest for four years. The switch in the ranking came after a blockbuster earnings report from Oracle. Forbes still has Musk as the richest, however, valuing his private businesses much higher.
