May performs under the name Flourgon, and the lawsuit claims that “about 50 percent” of Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop” is derived from his older song.

“I take care of my body each and every day… I put, probably, over $300,000 in my body in the offseason. It’s a lot to upkeep. I don’t ever want to decline.” While everybody declines eventually, 26-year-old OBJ is spending top dollar to postpone that decline as much as possible. His estimate above obviously isn’t a precise accounting, but when you’re paying doctors, trainers, massage therapists, and various specialists (NFL trainer Jamal Liggin and trainer to the stars Colt Colletti among them) to keep you in top shape, the expenses pile up.

Don’t feel too bad for MacIntyre, though. For each of the next three years, he’s going to make almost double what he earned last year, despite being fired. MacIntyre is the beneficiary of a strange loophole in the way collegiate head coach contracts are written. Typically, a school will include language that limits the amount they have to pay a coach if he takes a head coaching job elsewhere. The idea is that the buyout from a firing is partially paid by the salary at the new school.

Bezos went on to state that the progress humans have made from the days of the hunter gatherers to now was not made because people were satisfied. He’s right.

Cars and air travel and the Internet and cell phones—all of those things were created because someone saw the advantage to progress in their own dissatisfaction. Bezos pointed out that as technology advances, customers demand more and want it quicker.

More importantly, the All-NBA nod means Davis can potentially make more money from one contract than any player before him. Davis is now eligible for the supermax contract, assuming he re-signs with the Pelicans. The team can offer him a five-year deal next offseason worth $230 million. The deal would kick in starting in the 2020-21 season and would result in Davis having the wealthiest contract in the league. To earn the super-max, a player either has to make the All-NBA team or win Defensive Player of the Year in two out of the past three seasons, or win MVP in one of the previous three seasons.
That’s mostly due to the work of Irving Picard, the New York attorney who’s in charge of liquidating Madoff’s assets and seeing his victims get as much of their money back as possible. If such an effort strikes you as unusual, you aren’t wrong, as bankruptcy lawyer Kathy Bazoian Phelps explains: “That kind of recovery is extraordinary and atypical.” Phelps says that in most Ponzi schemes victims are lucky to get anything at all back, and that most recoveries range anywhere from five to 30 percent of lost funds.
