Floyd Mayweather reveals why he wrote an $18,000,000 check “Those are quick little temporary checks. I told them, ‘Give me 12,’ because if anybody knows about business, you don't keep that type of money in a regular account” “I wired the money to the account and went straight to...

🚨 LMFAO! President Trump at a GOP fundraising event: "The greatest thing about being president is you don't have to make contributions! I said, it's the only thing where I save money in this business!" "Nobody ever asked, but I saw Mike the other night. I did something that I'd never do, and I don't do this braggingly." "I do it because it's fun to talk about. He was close to raising $20 million, and I said, I'll give you a million so you hit your mark!" "I gave him a million dollars. I never do that in politics. I never do it. But I do it for him, and we're going to do a lot more, by the way."

Sebastian Telfair says his $20 million NBA career earnings worked out to just about $1 million a year after taxes, making it difficult to build generational wealth while supporting his family “So I played 10 years. You said I made $20 million. We all know about Uncle Sam, right? So what’s that? $10 million. That’s about a million a year. That ain’t no money. The real truth is I ain’t really make no money.” “I didn’t make Floyd Mayweather enough money. You gotta be a real strategic dude making a million dollars a year and thinking you gonna end up with everything on earth. I got o I’ll 14 brothers and sisters that I love with all my heart. I got a mother and a father, so it was a lot on us.” “We ain’t make enough money for it to be sitting the way it’s supposed to be sitting. I invested in Philippe Charriol. When I first got to the league, I was on the path to do the right things. I just got knocked off the path of sitting here with $275 million cash right now.”

Sebastian Telfair says he never really made money in the NBA, even though it paid him $20,000,000 “No excuse. I played 10 years. You said I made $20 million, we all know about Uncle Sam, so that’s about a million a year. That ain’t no money” “That’s the real truth. I ain’t really make no money. People like, ‘I don’t understand how you go crazy.’ I ain’t make Floyd Mayweather money” “You got to take care of the family. I got 14 brothers and sisters that I love with all my heart, a mother and a father. So it was a lot on us”

Real estate mogul Ben Mallah explains that you can eliminate your tax bill by borrowing money from the bank and buying tax-free municipal bonds👀 “Basically, by borrowing money from the bank, you eliminate your tax bill if you properly invest it” “Let's say I own a building. Tomorrow, I go out and I refinance the building and pull a million dollars out of it, right? Fine. I owe the bank another million dollars. That million dollars is going to cost me roughly about 60 grand a year, right? So now, that 60 grand a year is going to come off of my income that I made that I can write off, right? So the place made 100 grand a year, now it's only going to make 40 grand a year because I'm giving the bank 60 for that million bucks. So now, I'm going to write off that money and only pay tax on the 40 grand. But what am I going to do with that million? I'm going to put it in tax-free muni bonds at five. So now I'm going to get paid 50 grand, right? But the 50 grand is non-taxable. It's 50 grand. If I were to make the 60 that I'm giving the bank, I would have had to pay tax on it… 37%”

Michael Vick says he had $13,000,000 in the bank but still had the hood in him when he got involved in dog fighting “I had $13 million in the bank when I was 25 or 26 years old and didn't know what to do with it” “I went to Arther Blank, I said ‘I don't know what to do with this money. I got everything I want, every car, every house, and there's more coming. I got to protect this now. Introduce me to some people and help me grow this’” “We had a sit down, but it was just a little too late. They took everything from me. That came from my play. I saved everything. I might have spent maybe liquid $2 million” “That had nothing to do with any of my friends. I grew up under that. I grew up seeing that, grew up watching it. I still had the hood in me” “Nobody ever went to prison though. I didn't go to prison for that. I went to prison for interstate commerce. That’s water under the bridge”

Ja Rule says he didn’t know he had to report $3,000,000 in cash as income, which led to him serving time in federal prison “I did my state time for the gun charge, and then as soon as I got released, the feds came and got me for failure to file taxes. I was doing some crazy shit. I didn’t understand money at the time” “I would do shit like, ‘Yo, you’re giving me $250,000 for the show. Bet. Give me $50,000 in cash and send the other $200,000 to the shit’” “In my mind, that fifty is free cash. I don’t know why I thought that. I just thought if you gave it to me in cash, it ain’t on the books. And so I did that to the tune of three million fucking dollars” “I just wasn’t reporting it. I think when the federal case and all that shit happened, they started poking around. What else can we get these guy for. This guy made all of this money, but he didn’t report this money. What’s going on over here”

Joe Girardi explains why he knowingly allowed his pitcher Mike Mussina to make a mistake that cost his team the game because sometimes you have to lose the battle to win the war: “He had an up-and-down year. He was in and out of the rotation. I knew that he would be really important to us in the playoffs…” “So I had to show Mike Mussina that I believed in him. I know the numbers. Manny’s a better hitter… I know that I want to walk Manny.” “I went to the mound and I asked, What do you want to do here? I know what I want to do… But I want to hear what you want to do.” “He said, I want to go after Manny.” “I said, Okay. I get back to the dugout… Put my foot back up on the step… And bam, he hits a double in the gap.” “The first thing I thought was, why didn’t I go with my gut? Why didn’t I go with what I thought was right?” “This is the thing about managing people. Sometimes you have to lose the battle to win the war.” “I’ve got to get Mike Mussina… To know that I believe in him… And trust in him.” “As a manager and a coach… You always have to take all the blame… And give all the credit to the other people. I put none of it on Mike’s shoulders. Mike ended up winning 20 games that year. It was the only year he won 20 games in his career.” “Even though that situation didn’t work out… We lost that game… I learned a lot about managing people… And the importance of showing belief in them.”

Austin Reaves on his interaction with the ref: "I felt like I was respectful to all of them all night. A million times in the past, I've said way worse stuff. And when we were doing the whole tip ball and they were switching spots, I wanted to get on the other side because they had a guy on the other side, was just trying to keep an advantage. And he turned around and yelled in my face. I just thought it was disrespectful. The whole time that was going on over there, I don't think he said much to them. I know Ben (Taylor) stepped in and said something. But at the end of the day, we're grown men and I just didn't feel like he needed to yell in my face like that. I told him that. I wasn't disrespectful. I told him if I did that to him first, I would've gotten a tech. I feel like the only reason I didn't get a tech was because he knew he was in the wrong. I felt disrespected"

I got Russell Westbrook sitting right here. I'm literally sitting next to all of these dudes who are LA guys” “I'm like, ‘Bro, I'm not counting your chips, but everybody else is.

Why we got to go to UCLA to work out in LA every time?” “Y'all come from the exact same community. You want to inspire kids that look like you. All it takes is five of us. What bank gonna turn us down. We 'bout to build this whole thing out for our community. We're gonna build gyms, rec centers, start leagues and all that. Who's gonna stop us. We got the money. We don't have the mindset” “Our mindset, we'd rather go throw $60,000 in the club, in the strip club, than go feed 2,500 people in the hood. Think about it. I've done it. I can't sit here and be like, ‘Oh man, I'm a hypocrite.’ I've done this myself. I've thrown money in the club, literally blindly, aimlessly, drunk.

Ricky Williams says he sold his Heisman Trophy after an IRS letter claiming he hadn't paid taxes in 3 years revealed his financial advisor stole more than $6,000,000 “Summer of 2013, I got a letter from the IRS that said I hadn't paid taxes in three years. I got this letter and I'm thinking to myself, this isn't true. My accountant, Peggy, we've talked about taxes, and I know I filed” “I send the letter to Peggy, and we have a conversation. She says, ‘Oh, you were audited, and they're trying to figure things out.’ I was thinking this is kind of fishy. So I started talking to my attorney, and he said, ‘This seems kind of fishy’” “I put them on it, and over the next couple of months, I came to realize that the FBI was investigating my financial advisor. I thought I had upwards of six or seven million dollars in the bank, I actually didn't have any money” “I was in this moment of what I am going to do. I was sitting in my office and I looked around. I had art that I'd purchased over the years on the walls, and I had a bunch of trophies behind me. I realized, I'm good” “I called up a friend of mine who does my memorabilia deals, I let him know the deal and said if there's anyone you know that would be interested, I'm definitely open to taking offers” “I was able to sell a couple of trophies and some artwork and really get back on my feet and keep my life moving instead of things crumbling.

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

Trump was reportedly furious over Noem’s assertion during a hearing that he had approved that $200+ million ad campaign but she actually had told this story before and based on what the former DHS Secretary says here, it allegedly was his idea. Noem: He said, “Do you know those ads that you did in South Dakota?” Oh, and I said, “Yes sir, you mean my ‘Freedom Works Here’ ads?” And he said, “Yeah, those ones where you — those beautiful ads, you know, those beautiful ads, beautiful — you did about South Dakota. They had Mount Rushmore, all those things.” He said, “I want you to do those for the border..” And I said, “Well sir, I don’t know how that works. You mean the ones where I was a plumber and where I was an electrician? I don’t know if I can do those for the border.” And he said, “No, I want you to do those for the border, and I want you to do those everywhere — not just in the United States, but I want them around the world. I want you to tell people not to come to this country if they’re going to come here illegally.” And I said, “Well sir, we can do press conferences. You know, we can tell people what we’re doing.” And he said, “Nope. We’re not going to let the media tell this story because the media will never tell the truth. A marketing campaign to make sure the American people know the truth of what you’re doing.” And I said, “Well sir, do you want to be in those ads?” And he said, “Nope, nope, I want you to do them.” He said, “I want you in the ads.” He said, “I want you in the ads, and I want your face in the ads. But I want the first ad — I want you to thank me. So I want you to thank me for closing the border.” And I said, “Yes sir, I will thank you for closing the border.” So if you notice in that ad, we thanked him for closing the border.

Charles Barkley reveals he almost tried cocaine to understand his brother’s addiction “When I talk to young kids about drugs, I tell them it ain’t a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.” “I almost did cocaine one time.” “My brother was in and out of rehab, and I wanted to understand what could be so powerful that you’d give up the NBA and all that money.” “My friend looked at me and said, ‘Charles, you fucking nuts?’” “John Lucas told me, ‘If I put $1 million on the table and a pile of cocaine over there, a junkie wouldn’t think about buying more drugs with the money. He’d go straight for the cocaine.’” “My brother eventually got his life together.” “But he had done so much damage to his body that it gave out.” “He was 40 when he died.” “My mom never got over it.”

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇮🇱 Epstein and Ehud Barak discusses huge money Tony Blair Barak: "Tony Blair for example is doing probably 11 million a year from the Kazakhstan government just to give them advice to help them with lobbying, NGOs and UN Organisations." Epstein – "Tony has turned funny. I don’t know what Tony’s doing for money. And I don’t know if the money that Tony is getting is actually to Tony or to somebody else ... so Tony gets to pay some of the money to somebody else. Because I hear gigantic numbers given to Tony. 5 million here, 10 million here, 5 million there. Tony’s not making $30 million a year."

I'mma stay with Doc. Then I called Jerry West, who's my mentor. He told me, 'If you don't take this job, they'll never give you another job ever again. They think you can't leave Doc's umbrella'" "So my agent called back and asked, 'What do you want?' I said, 'Just tell them $2.2 million. He called me back and said, 'They said yes"

I didn’t know what I was doing.” “You go from that to being a millionaire like that fast. It was crazy.” “I can say $2 million-plus.” “But that speaks on the brand of Carolina.” “If I didn’t go to Carolina, these deals with TurboTax and all those people, they wouldn’t do with me.” “I go to Carolina, I handle business, I go out there and play, somewhat be marketable, and stuff like that. It pays.” “I got life-changing money.” “I’m from Richmond. I got life-changing money in college just playing basketball.” “To be able to make over $2 million just in college is crazy.”

Jensen Huang: I told SEGA we failed, but I still need the money or we'd vaporize overnight. "Our company was running out of money. If that contract would have been canceled, we'd be dead. We would have vaporized instantly." Jensen was in a contract with SEGA and owed them a game console. But the technology didn't work, and NVIDIA was out of cash. So he went to Japan to see the CEO of Sega, Iri Majori. As he puts it: "I said, listen, I've got some bad news for you. The technology that we promised you doesn't work. And second, we shouldn't finish your contract because we'd waste all your money, and you would have something that doesn't work. And I recommend you find another partner to build your game console." Then he made the impossible ask: "And third, even though I'm asking you to let me out of the contract, I still need the money. Because if you didn't give me the money, we'd vaporize overnight." He continues: "I explained to him why the technology doesn't work, why we thought it was going to work, why it doesn't work. And I asked him to convert the last $5 million to complete the contract, to give us that money as an investment instead." The SEGA CEO responded: "But it's very likely your company will go out of business, even with my investment." Jensen's reply: "I told him that if you invested that $5 million in us, it is most likely to be lost. But if you didn't invest that money, we'd be out of business." Two days later, the CEO came back and said: "We'll do it." That moment of radical honesty when the odds were 0% saved NVIDIA from instant death.
