A high-ranking editor at Forbes is no longer with the company due to an undisclosed conflict of interest. The editor, who had been with Forbes for nearly 16 years, departed last month. Details of the departure are limited, but it is reported that the editor accepted a significant payment from the founder of a firm that works with the magazine.

The firm, which has been partnered with Forbes since 2016, publishes rankings of wealth advisers. Further information on the circumstances surrounding the editor's departure can be found through national news sources, including The New York Times and The Associated Press.
