He and his wife were involved in philanthropy in addition to their sometimes controversial business practices, and he was reportedly involved in a number of contentious lawsuits at the end of his life – including some against members of his own family. In a press statement made to the CBC, the younger Sherman expresses a desire for closure in the matter of his parents’ murder....

Even though both men were famed for their punching power, Morrison was the one to win the closely contested bout and the WBO title. The same year, in October 1993, Morrison lost the title to Michael Bentt in a big upset by a first-round knockout. His third loss came in 1995 in a fight against WBC champion Lennox Lewis. Morrison was forced to retire in 1996 as he was tested HIV-positive....

“People really do have minds that function better than other people’s in certain areas that you can’t give a test for … And LeBron, in addition to a lot of other talents, he has a money mind. And he gets stuff.” Buffett’s on pretty sure footing there, since James has earned an estimated $765 million since going pro back in 2003. Last year, he saw an investment of $1 million in new pizza chain Blaze Pizza give a return of $25 million, and according to Buffett, shrewd investments like that aren’t a product of dumb luck: “He can separate out the cream from the crap, and you get more of the latter proposed to you than you do of the former … You really have to be able to suss it out....

Tennis has never had a player reach the $100 million career earnings milestone. Both Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer are very close. Federer is currently in the lead with $97.9 million, but after winning the Australian Open last week, Djokovic has closed the gap to just $1 million with $96.9 million in career earnings. So it will not take much for either one to hit the mark? Who will do it first?...

At the time, it seemed like it could have been a silly move. Judge was a star, for sure, though he hadn’t led the Yankees to a World Series appearance, let alone a title. Would he really get a better deal from the Yankees or elsewhere? Turns out that betting on himself was a brilliant idea — and he didn’t even have to move. Judge just signed a nine-year, $360 million contract to remain in the Bronx with the Yankees....

Just 20 years ago, Jack Ma was a modest English teacher who never could have even dreamed of the riches that would befall him in the following decades. In 1995, Ma visited the United States for the first time. He had recently started a side business, a translation company, to help capitalize on a recent Chinese export boom. It was during this visit to the U.S. that a friend showed Ma the Internet for the first time....

You’ll notice, there’s one name absent from that list: Anthony Davis. He wasn’t even close, actually, finishing ninth among the West frontcourt players. Only three got a starting nod, and Davis wasn’t able to leapfrog ahead of six players. Not making the All-Star game just may end up costing him $23 million. How is this even possible? It’s all thanks to an odd Collective Bargaining Agreement rule that has only been around for a few years....

Billionaires and millionaires fly to Lexington from around the world in the hopes of scoring the next Justify—and they will pay $1 million or more on a Thoroughbred.

The highest price paid for a Thoroughbred yearling this year was $2....

In 1983, he abruptly changed his image, but his new look was not popular with fans. The WWF started to pour more energy into their newest star, Hulk Hogan.

He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in April 2013.
