The NFL has ten players making $20+ million. There aren’t any $20 million men in the NHL, but there are three making $10+ million. MLS players make nowhere near what the major sports make, but the 19 guys making over $1 million are likely not complaining about it. The 37 PGA golfers that have made over $1 million already this season are probably pretty happy as well. There is certainly money to be made in professional sports, but that is not where the real money is.

The list was calculated by determining the overall portion of each billionaire’s wealth they’d given away to charity since 2000. A variety of information sources were used, including the IRS and The Chronicle of Philanthropy’s own “Philanthropy 50” reports, but anonymous contributions as well as gifts made before 2000 weren’t included. So, Buffett’s variety of donations totaling more than $46 billion came to 71 percent of his overall fortune as of the end of 2016, enough to earn him the top spot.

The 971K’s significance in the history of auto racing isn’t purely cinematic – Porsche dominated the field of endurance racing in the early 70s, with back to back victories won in 1970 and 1971. In 2001, the 917K that co-starred with McQueen in one of his most famous movies was meticulously restored. Its original chassis had been locked away while a replacement was used for vintage racing, but now the car’s original chassis has been restored, which is part of the reason it was able to fetch such an incredible winning bid – $14,080,000, to be precise.
Prince has sold 654,000 albums and 2.82 million individual song downloads in the United States between April 15 and April 24, a staggering total of 3.5 million units sold. In the sales week ending on April 21, his album catalog sold 256,000 units. To compare, he only sold 5,000 albums in the previous week, ending on April 14. It is safe to assume that the bulk of those 256,000 album purchases came on the day of his passing.
Ramon has ridden this prize horse to victories in six Grade One stakes races including the Belmont Park’s Man o’ War Stakes twice, and the Manhattan Handicap, Arlington Million, Frank E.

Monaco Legend Group is auctioning off the watch on July 19th in concert with auction house Antiquorum, and expects it to be worth as much as $1.6 million. As they put it, the watch was purchased in December of 2015 by a certain unnamed VIP, who bought it for the purpose of presenting it to the Russian president as a gift. These intentions were serious and convincing enough for the store it was purchased from, Watches of Switzerland, to have Putin’s full name listed on the watch’s certificate of origin as the owner, but the Kremlin calls this claim “fake news,” and that “Mr Vladimir Vladimirovic Putin” never owned the watch.
Even Cam Newton’s doubters have to admit that he performed very well on the field last season. He threw for 35 touchdowns (rushing for an additional 10) against just 10 interceptions, and led the Panthers to an NFL-best 15-1 regular season record. He did fall short against the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl, but after three straight NFC South titles, it’s hard to imagine him not returning to the playoffs for another crack at a title as he continues to improve.
Right off that bat I want to make it clear that it’s really none of our business where people choose to donate their hard-earned money. If you want to donate money to Spike Lee, go for it. On the other hand, I personally believe Spike Lee asking for $1.25 million to make a movie that he will own and profit off, is a little bit like Donald Trump asking for $10 million so he can flip a luxury condo.
He also co-invested in the licensee that publishes Forbes Indonesia. Apart from making money, he has also made many donations to numerous universities in China, Indonesia, the U.S. and Singapore, where he is a permanent resident.

Tahir and Rosy have four children together.
However, over the years, with the advent of things like fantasy football and the NFL RedZone, it’s become increasingly easier for fans to take in games from the comfort of home. You’d think this would hurt the league, but of the four major sports leagues, the NFL is the least worried about selling tickets. Why? Each team gets more than $250 million a year in shared money that comes primarily from national television deals.
The Warriors signed an advertising badge deal with the Japanese tech company Rakuten, whose North American headquarters is in San Francisco. The deal is worth $20 million per year over three seasons. That’s about twice as much as the second-highest deal, signed by the Cleveland Cavaliers. What a surprise – even in advertising space, the Warriors and Cavs are duking it out for supremacy. The Warriors will wear a patch (or a badge, as they’re calling it) featuring Rakuten’s red and black logo on their home white jerseys and a white version of the logo on their road blue uniforms.
Jimmy Kimmel is the poorest host on the list and he brings home $12 million a year. It’s a good gig if you can get it! Dr. Phil McGraw is the highest-paid host of the past year, with $88 million in earnings, but Ellen DeGeneres is nipping at his heels with her hefty $75 million take. Dr. Phil’s $88 million is his highest-ever earnings. He gets a pretty big cut of the profits from his talk show.
The oldest billionaires in the world have seen a great deal of change in the world in the past 93 to 99 years. They have witnessed the evolution of the automobile and air travel. They’ve seen men go to the moon. They’ve seen computers go from behemoth machines that took up a whole room to being small enough to carry in your back pocket. In their lifetimes industries were born and died.
