That’s why former linebacker H.B. Blades was overpaid. He wasn’t overpaid because Haynesworth was gone, but instead because of an accounting error: two years after he was cut, he received an erroneous payment of $40,000. Blades was taken in the 2007 draft by the Redskins in the sixth round and signed to a four-year, $1.77 million contract. He played well enough for the team to sign him to a one-year deal for $685,000 after his rookie deal expired, following the 2010 season, but not well enough for him to make the final roster at the end of the 2011 preseason.

In all seriousness, the 10 families below run the gamut. They are behind some of the biggest American brands like Hyatt hotels, Snickers, and Ziploc bags. It won’t surprise many to learn that the Waltons are the richest family in America, again.

The dispute at the heart of this action is between Melnichenko and Nobiskrug, the company that built the super yacht. They’re seeking over $16.1 million from Melnichenko, stemming from disputed costs in arbitration that come to about $10 million, plus almost $6 million in interest charges and wages to various subcontractors employed throughout the project. On its website, the Gibraltar Port Authority has this to say about the action: A spokesman for Melnichenko takes a different view on the development, saying that it represents “an astounding act for a shipbuilder of Nobiskrug’s standing” and unnecessary given the circumstances: Assuming this gets cleared up in a timely fashion, Melnichenko will finally have the sailing yacht of his dreams in his possession, a massive 470-foot long behemoth equipped with a helipad, swimming pool, underwater observation pod, and much, much more – too much to let a measly $16 million stand in his way, especially given the project’s overall estimated cost of $400 million and Melnichenko’s own personal fortune of almost $9 billion.
Nye says he got his last royalty check for $585,000 from Disney’s Buena Vista Television for Bill Nye the Science Guy in the spring of 2008, when Disney informed him that due to an accounting error resulting in overpayment, Nye actually owed BTV $496,111, and that future royalty payments would cease until Nye paid back this deficit. This made Nye suspicious of Disney’s figuring, and he once again changed out of his lab coat to become Bill Nye the Math Guy (the Science Guy’s much less exciting sibling) and eventually came to the above numbers, which come to a total of $37,402,260.
