How Ensemble Studios got bought by MicroSoft. Ensemble Studios was amazingly successful. We produced only one game that sold less than 2 million copies, and THAT one sold a million so was no failure. Even the expansions (which I led) sold a million copies or more. In 2000, MicroSoft...

Ezekiel Elliott says his rookie signing bonus was somewhere between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000, and the first thing he bought with his NFL money was a house for his mom “Right when I got paid from my rookie contract, I was the fourth pick, so I had a decent-sized signing bonus. It was more than $10 million, less than $20 million. Somewhere in the middle.” “I bought my mom a house. So that was my first purchase with my NFL money. Right after I got paid, I bought myself that car.” “Other than that, those are definitely the two biggest ones.”

Mark Ruffalo says he filmed a 10-episode indie series for just $5 million. ​"I went out and did one. It was 10 episodes of independent television for $5 million.. That was less than what we made 'You Can Count on Me' for, or around the same." "It was a grind, and I haven't done that in a long time, but it was doable. And they were able to give the actors everything that Screen Actors Guild had asked for."

Sean Astin reveals he was paid only $75,000 per movie for Lord of the Rings and was forced to sell his house right after making the trilogy ​"I didn't get paid very well for Lord of the Rings" ​"I had to sell my house afterwards... we bought a house up in the hills with a view, and the business manager said to me, 'You have to make 250 grand a year based on how you spend your money'" ​"Then I got offered Lord of the Rings, and it was an offer for 250,000 for a year and a half" ​"And I was like, 'Wait a minute, my pen signed this contract which obligated me to 250 a year, and I'm gonna sign this contract which will make it so that I cannot satisfy that other thing'" ​"So it was 75 grand a movie... 75 grand a movie was what you got" ​"And how about residuals for that? No residuals"

Great question from @Milliedrewgeorge and one I want to clear up: In 2000 Ben & Jerry’s was sold to Unilever as a publicly held corporation. Jerry and I did everything that we could to try to keep it independent, but SEC rules forced the board to make a decision to have the company sold because Unilever offered so much money for it. BUT there was a legally binding agreement that we negotiated that maintained the social mission. Now Magnum is violating that legally binding agreement. #freebenandjerrys

Only the older generation will recognize this one. Beach-Head, published in 1983 by Access Software, is one of the tougher C64 games I have played back in the day. I was 8 or 9 when I first gave it a shot, so maybe that was part of the reason but even in my teenage years I still struggled to get to that final mega-bunker/fortress monstrosity at the end. Beach-Head was commercially successful, selling around quarter of a million copies, an excellent number for that era. Bruce Carver went on to also make Raid over Moscow one year later - another classic of 80s gaming history, and one that was equally hard (the hangar sequence still gives me PTSD). I think in terms of design and gameplay you can see how the 2 games are related, the vibe feels similar.

The Game Boy was launched in 1989, sold almost 120 million units, and was eventually discontinued in 2003 - an incredible lifespan for a handheld console, the longest ever, unless I am overlooking another? One of the games that was availabe with the launch was Super Mario Land, and it became one of its highest selling titles (18 million cartridges), being part of the early and massive success of the Game Boy. By the way, all this with a mere 8 KB of RAM. That's 1/8th of the good old C64. Super Mario Land was essentially a perfect game, getting the absolute maximum out of the Game Boy at the time. I remember that even my mother and sister playing it, while before that computers games were really not their thing at all.

Tyrese Haliburton says the NBA’s 65-game rule is hurting the potential for players to earn supermax contracts “When this was first implemented, I get the idea. We want more guys to play, and I was known as one of the first guys to say I hated it because the year the 65-game rule was implemented was my contract year. I had to play 65 games to make All-NBA to be eligible for the supermax” “I said that I didn't like it at the time, and I still feel that way. I've talked with Commissioner Silver, and we talked about how, from a financial standpoint, it can only hurt so many people in that year. Guys who are like me at that time. It was me, Ant and LaMelo at that time that were trying to get that supermax” “But I think the biggest point is legacy talk. What I think about is, in 20 or 30 years, when I'm not playing and I'm hearing my kids compare eras, and they're going over the list of accolades, telling me this guy only made All-NBA so many times, but he was ineligible, and they don't know that. That could skew it in that way, which I don't necessarily appreciate in any way” “NBA players want to play. We don't want to sit down. We want to play. I feel there has to be a conversation”

Jeremy Lin reveals that he spoke to Carmelo Anthony & squashed any prior misunderstandings off-camera and opens up about how he was willing to take a much lower contract to stay with the NY Knicks in 2012 free agency, but they didn’t even give him a contract 💔 Jeremy Lin ended up leaving the Knicks to sign with the Houston Rockets for 3 years/$25 million “I was CRUSHED… That 3 day period felt like 3 months… I was like ‘there’s no way, I gotta go back to New York’… There was no contract. They could have offered me 3 years/9 million, but there wasn’t even that offer on the table… I tried to take less. I was trying to sabotage the Rockets offer… I would have played for SIGNIFICANTLY less if that meant staying with the Knicks because my heart was always here.”

Did Ann Miura-Ko really make a 10,000x return on Lyft? Ann Miura-Ko says every venture capitalist is looking for a company that can return the entire fund. For Floodgate, Lyft was one of those companies. They invested when Lyft was valued at just $5 million, sold some shares along the way, and sold more at the IPO. Ann explains why Lyft became a multiple fund returner: “You’re always looking for a multiple fund returner and that was definitely a multiple fund returner.” “We got in at a $5 million dollar valuation.” “We sold a little bit along the way actually at a price that was even higher than it is today.” “We were able to get a good chunk out and then at the IPO as well.” “I can’t give you the exact returns but it was a multiple fund returner just on its own.” Ann Miura-Ko: Why Great Businesses Still Fail via Trailblazers Podcast

Charlie Munger made $500 Million by reading Barron’s Magazine for 50 years. Here’s the story: “I’ve read Barron’s for 50 years and in 50 years, I found only one investment opportunity in Barron’s. Out of which I made $80 Million, with almost no risk.” “It was a Monroe shock absorbers company, trading at $1 and I sold it at $15 but it eventually went to $40. It was a pure cigar butt company.” “The Barron’s said it was cheap stock and so I bought it.” “I gave that $80 Million to Li Lu who turned it to $400-500 Million. So I made that money by reading Barron’s for 50 years and following one idea.” “Now that doesn’t help you very much, does it? I’m sorry but that’s the way it really happened.” 😂 - Charlie Munger.

Elon Musk’s DOGE is exposing it all DOGE updates on the DoE “Well, now we know why they didn't want us looking at the Department of Education - DOGE found that a $4.6 million contract was to coordinate Zoom and in-person meetings - There was a $3 million contract to write a report that showed that prior reports were not utilized by the school - Then you have a $1.4 million contract to physically observe mailing and clerical operations So nobody wants children to be uneducated. What we do want is to take a look at the allocation of funds and realize that something's not right here and it's theft from the American taxpayer.” It’s all 100% waste and theft

Three years in the contract was lower salaries” “I probably made $15 million out of all that. $7.5 million went to taxes. $3.8 million went to the ex-wife” “So I have $3.8 million, and I lived like I was still making $5 million a year. Had the big house, flew on private planes” “I just figured that the money would never run out. Didn't fully understand what that looked like, and before you know it, it's gone” “When you were making zero dollars a year, and you live like you're still making $5 million a year, it goes away.
