In 2013, an ownership group led by Indian businessman Vivek Ranadive purchased the NBA’s Sacramento Kings for a then-record $534 million. Many onlookers thought the franchise’s purchase price was too hefty, especially for a team that has been in decline since its glory years of the early 2000s, failing to make the playoffs for nearly a decade. Paying over half a billion dollars for one of the worst franchises in the league seemed ridiculous to many.
Since the poker boom of 2003, the WSOP gradually added events to its calendar, which also expanded into November with a live telecast of the WSOP Main Event. The tournament even added a $1 million event for the best, and richest, players on the planet. So what’s bigger than a million dollar tournament? The Colossus. This isn’t a cyborg or plot to a new sci-fi movie. It was a $565 No-Limit Hold’em event.

Invest properly and that will not be an issue, but the problem for many is figuring out what the right investments are, because there is nothing more frustrating than investing your hard earned money and finding out you lost 50 percent of it in the market.

Pimpin Curly introduced and made explicit comments about a sex tape that featured a woman named Lavonia Leviston.
Many people are speculating that 50 Cent is trying to get back at Rick Ross, who successfully sued him for $7 million after 50 leaked a sex tape featuring Ross’ baby mama. 50 Cent filed for bankruptcy and might see this as a great opportunity to get a couple million dollars back without doing anything for it. Fifty is also suing Ross for an injunction against the use of his material that he says Ross sampled without his permission.

Today, it was revealed that an anonymous Middle Eastern billionaire purchased a home on the outskirts of Paris. “Home” isn’t really an appropriate way to describe the house. It’s technically a Chateau. The purchase price? 275 million Euros. Also known as $301 million US dollars! That’s enough to make it the most expensive private home that anyone has ever bought. It’s not the most expensive home ever BUILT. That honor still belongs to Mukesh Ambani’s $1 billion, twenty-seven story skyscraper home “Antilla.
As of this writing, the OPEC Basket — an average price per barrel of 12 OPEC producing countries — was less than $40. That’s terrible news for a country that earns a great majority of its income, something like 90 percent, from the export of oil. And the Saudis aren’t alone. The Sultanate of Oman and the Kingdom of Bahrain could see their economies crumble as a result of cheap oil.

When he declared his intent to enter the draft, no one was surprised. After NBA personnel said he would likely be taken anywhere from No. 6 to No. 14, but probably not past No. 10, it appeared to be the right decision. That meant he would be signing a contract worth anywhere from $4.1-6.9 million, but probably no less than $5.07 million (over two years). Most would say that is more than enough reason to leave college and enter the NBA, but it appears that it wasn’t enough for Rabb.
