A Forbes-branded site that appeared in March 2025 posing as a Liechtenstein edition of Forbes. Here is the evidence, and where the real publication actually lives.
Forbes Liechtenstein is fake: confirmed by forbes media. Liechtenstein has no Forbes edition; the real Forbes is at forbes.com.
Forbes Media confirmed it is fake; Liechtenstein appears nowhere on the official list of 49 licensed editions.
Its star author “Harriet Caldwell” uses an AI-generated portrait photo.
The site has since gone dark, returning error 444.
