The New York-born rapper just entered into a 10-year, worldwide touring deal that Live Nation will produce and promote. Jay-Z announced the deal late last week and we needed a few days to confirm the specifics of how he is paid.

With the team making it to the NLCS last season with a very young and very talented core, the future is brighter than it has been in a long time for the Cubs. To make sure the franchise reaps the benefits of the team’s on-field success as much as possible, it has decided to take over the very popular Wrigley Rooftops. For years, several property owners surrounding the stadium have profited by opening up their rooftops – which overlook the outfield – to friends, family, and eventually other fans (for profit).
Under the new system, purse winnings will not be released weekly as they had been in the past. Also, charter teams are guaranteed a certain amount of money annually. This change isn’t likely to make much of a difference to the sport’s top drivers, however. Owners will rework the drivers’ contracts to ensure their star doesn’t lose any money under the new system. As with most professional sports, there is a huge pay gap between the top and bottom drivers.
Okada believes that the country’s beautiful beaches and balmy weather are ideal for becoming the next major leisure and entertainment destination.

But every time the Games get some positive momentum, something comes out to derail it all. Obviously, there was plenty of chatter in the weeks and months leading up to the Olympics, whether it was the lack of available infrastructure or the potential for catching the deadly Zika virus. There have been other scandals, though: in the past few days, Ryan Lochte and three other U.S. swimmers were robbed at gunpoint, and now, a top Olympic official has been arrested for scalping tickets to the Olympics.
It’s a nice luxury, but sadly for Neymar, it’s one he’ll have to give up. He’s being investigated by authorities for alleged tax evasion between 2011 and 2013, when he was with home country club Santos. And a federal court has ordered for possessions totaling £33m (about $47.5 million) be taken from him. That includes several properties around Brazil, a luxury yacht, and the private jet. Even though he’s just 24, this isn’t Neymar’s first time in trouble with the law, either.
According to a new report, the final six episodes of Game of Thrones will cost at least $15 million EACH. To put this in perspective, as of recent, ultra-expensive TV programming tends to cost approximately $10 million per episode. (That’s how much Netflix paid to produce The Crown and The Get Down, and about how the amount HBO shelled out for each GoT episode over the past few years.) Now, the real question is, will viewers reap the benefits of an increased budget?

The scariest moment of all was the night it looked like the U.S. would have to mint a coin worth $1 trillion to avoid a government shutdown and defaulting on its debt. Obama appeared on “Pod Save America,” the new podcast from Crooked Media, which consists of former Obama staffers and speechwriters.
