How David And Jackie Siegel Lost It All Then Kept Building The Biggest House In America

In the mid-2000s, David and his wife Jackie Siegel set out to build a 90,000-square-foot palace in Florida modeled after Versailles—a mansion so massive and over-the-top it made Mar-a-Lago look like a starter home. Then came the 2008 financial crisis. The financial meltdown hit the timeshare industry perhaps worse than any other. As a result the Siegels’ dream home turned into a half-built monument to excess. Their personal and financial meltdown was captured in the 2012 documentary “The Queen of Versailles,” turning them into reluctant icons of American boom-and-bust culture....

Irs Claims Prince S Estate Was Grossly Undervalued By Executors

The IRS has determined that Prince Rogers Nelson’s estate is not worth the $82.3 million that Comerica Bank & Trust, the estate’s administrator, determined it to be. Instead, the IRS believes that Prince’s estate was worth closer to $163.2 million at the time of his death. That leaves his estate on the hook for $32.4 million in back taxes and another $6.4 million in penalties. For what it’s worth, Celebrity Net Worth placed his net worth in the $200 million to $300 million range at the time of his death....

Joel Embiid May Never Play Again And The 76Ers Owe Him A Quarter Billion Dollars

Instead, the team hasn’t been able to stay healthy, and even when they have, they’ve looked inconsistent. Maxey has been solid, albeit slightly less efficient than previous years. George has dealt with injuries and stepped away from podcasting to focus more on basketball activities (which is a weird sentence to write, but that’s 2025 for you). Meanwhile, Embiid has been playing through lingering knee injuries and also missed three games after shoving a member of the Philadelphia media....
