The Tolkien rights-holders want between $200 million and $250 million upfront for the rights to create a new Lord of the Rings television series. To be clear, that figure would be for the rights to the story and characters only, and wouldn’t cover any associated production costs – assuming whoever did end up with the rights was interested in mounting a production big enough to rival Jackson’s films and the HBO’s Game of Thrones, one can expect another $100 million to $150 million per season in order to produce it.
Earlier this month, Birdman revealed that the Carter V recordings, which are at the center of the case, are not in his possession, but are in Wayne’s possession, insinuating that Wayne is free to release the album when he pleases. But Wayne won’t be releasing the album until he gets the money he was allegedly promised from Birdman. Last week, Wayne claimed that Birdman blew through $70 million he was given to by Universal Music Group as an advance, without Wayne seeing a penny.

The delay comes after speculation by many that Titanic II was never going to happen at all, and there are still a lot of skeptics out there who say that such a massive and potentially commercially disastrous undertaking will still never actually be completed. But Palmer, along with his Blue Star Line company, are still insistent that the ship will be completed and that it will sail, albeit not along the original Titanic’s infamous route from the UK to New York City, traveling instead from Jiangsu, China into Dubai.

To do so, he’d need to more than double what the company is already worth. Ma doesn’t expect e-commerce alone to take him that far, and is trying to diversify into big data and cloud computing with a new unit called Aliyun. He hasn’t set up a strong market strategy for these new industries, and investors are cautious on the impact this strategy will have. Another issue they must tackle is counterfeiters.
DJ Khaled’s Major Key debuted at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200, not only giving Khaled his first No. 1 album, but also dethroning Drake’s Views album from the top spot, a spot that Drake has held for 12 out of the 13 weeks since its release.

While Wu-Tang has certainly seen its share of fortune and fame—RZA estimates the group has sold around 40 million records over the course of its career—the band hasn’t released an album since 2007. And times have changed since then. With the advent of streaming sites like Spotify and Pandora, it can be tough for an established artist to duplicate the success they’ve had in the past. Two Wu-Tang albums are in the pipeline for 2014, though: “A Better Tomorrow” and “Once Upon A Time In Shaolin.
That’s a big number, especially when you consider that Netflix – a company that specializes in video streaming – made headlines recently for its intention to drop $7 billion on its own original content. The idea is that Facebook would directly fund original video content now, with the goal of eventually paying nothing for such content and compensating creators with shares of ad revenue – with as much as 45 percent of that revenue going to creators of video content.

The singer-songwriter’s other sister Yioda is also receiving a portion of the star’s fortune, but according to an anonymous source quoted in The Sun, the London house has a special significance that goes beyond its estimated monetary value: Even though George Michael’s Highgate home is going to his favorite sister, the house in question might not have been his favorite. That designation could very well have belonged to his cottage in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, which in 2010 was the subject of a tour for Oprah Winfrey’s TV show.
How did $31 billion worth of German gold, weighing in at 743 tons, come to be stored in various storage locations in France and the United States? After World War II, in order for Germany’s gold reserves to be gradually built up over time, the country used funds from the United States from its exports to purchase gold, keeping the reserves in storage vaults outside Germany. As these German gold reserves continued to grow, it became a concern that in the event of Soviet invasion, the USSR would seize Germany’s gold supply, so the treasure was kept out of the country for safekeeping.
When the fans watch, he makes money. A LOT of money (at least, so he claims)… Compared to the average fighter, he always has made a lot of money. When he beat Chad Mendes at UFC 189 he took home $500,000. Mendes also made $500,000, but pay for the other fighters on the main card ranged from $13,000 to $300,000. In the months following that fight he negotiated a new contract, and while details of it are not widely known (the UFC does not share details of contracts or complete payout information) he made it no secret that he was demanding a nine-figure deal.
