Under his leadership, Westgate expanded from a single property in Orlando to a vast portfolio of over 25 resorts across the United States. Siegel built his empire by targeting middle-class consumers with affordable vacation ownership opportunities, pioneering many modern timeshare marketing techniques. Beyond timeshare development, Siegel diversified into other business ventures, including real estate, construction, hotel management, travel services, and retail.

The lucky winners of the David Price bidding wars? The Boston Red Sox. And they acquired the 30-year-old ace with a seven-year, $217 million contract. That’s $31 million per year, the most for any pitcher in Major League Baseball history. It also matches Miguel Cabrera’s contract value he signed with the Tigers for most of any player in the bigs. This comes after Max Scherzer signed a seven-year, $210 million deal with the Nationals last summer, and the Dodgers extended Clayton Kershaw’s contract for another seven years and $215 million....
Throughout his career, Qualls has demonstrated versatility by moving between comedy and drama, establishing himself as a reliable television actor with recurring roles in series like “The Man in the High Castle,” “Z Nation,” and “Supernatural.” He delivered particularly strong performances in “Memphis Beat” (2010-2011) and “Legit” (2013-2014), where he showed greater dramatic range beyond the comedic roles that initially defined his career. In more recent years, Qualls has continued to work steadily in both film and television, taking on more complex character roles that move beyond the stereotypical outsider parts of his early career....
Sawiris says that he’s received donations and offers to volunteer time and effort to make the island a reality – and even though he’s one of the richest men in Africa, with a net worth of about $3 billion, donations are something he could probably still use, as the project is now estimated to require a bare minimum investment of $100 million just to get it started. To handle all the donations pouring in to make Sawiris’ Aylan Island (so named for Aylan Kurdi, the Syriad three-year-old who perished fleeing his home country and whose photograph sparked international outrage and heartbreak, and in Sawiris himself) come true, Kurdi states that a joint-stock company will need to be established, and the plan is that everyone who donates will receive a share in the company in exchange – clearly, a project of this magnitude and complexity requires business sense and an eye for details and not just the will to do the right thing....
At the company’s peak valuation of $9 billion, Elizabeth’s paper net worth of $4.5 billion. That was enough to earn her the title of the world’s youngest self-made billionaire.

At a court appearance in Arizona years later, Elizabeth claimed to be unable to afford a lawyer and requested to be provided counsel....

So signing the four-year, $160 million extension was a big sigh of relief for Prescott. The contract includes a $66 million signing bonus (an NFL record) and a guarantee of $126 million. Thanks to the way the deal is structured with all that guaranteed money – and a favorable living situation – Prescott will make nearly as much in guaranteed money as Patrick Mahomes, who signed a record-setting, ten-year extension with the Kansas City Chiefs last year that included $141,428,000 in guaranteed wages....
Mark Kurlyandchik helped provide the foundation for this article. JM Barrie was born James Matthew Barrie on May 9, 1860, to a conservative Calvinist family in Scotland. His father, David Barrie, was a weaver and his mother, Margaret Ogilvy, assumed the household responsibilities of raising 10 children (two of whom died before Barrie was born). Barrie loved reading and making up stories of his own. Famous for creating a boy who never grew up, Barrie’s life experiences may have served as a great inspiration for the Peter Pan character....
Making The Cut to be a World Cup Referee: International referees are held to an extremely high set of physical and intellectual standards. FIFA, the governing body of the World Cup, grades their referees on a scale of 1 to 9 (with 1 being the best). Grade 1 referees possess the highest level of physical skills, experience, peer recommendations and intellectual knowledge. To understand just how difficult it is to become a World Cup ref, consider this: Out of the 80,000 FIFA-sanctioned soccer referees in the United States, only 7 are qualified to be even considered for a FIFA international event....

Meghan also had a decent net worth entering into the marriage, built up from her days on the television drama “Suits....

Career Earnings Jeremy McGrath, the “King of Supercross,” earned millions throughout his career from race winnings, sponsorships, merchandise, and other ventures. While his race winnings were substantial, they were a smaller part of his total income. Factory contracts in the 1990s paid race bonuses ranging from $8,000 to $50,000 per win, and with 72 Supercross victories, those added up. However, endorsements and sponsorships made up the bulk of his wealth. His total career earnings likely exceeded $10 million....

His greatest success came in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys (1989-1993). Taking over a struggling franchise, Johnson orchestrated one of the most impressive turnarounds in NFL history.
