Something about the way Adele sings resonates with just about everyone.  Maybe it's the lyric choices she makes, her phrasing, her tone, or something less definable.  Whatever it is, it made her first album, "19″, a multi-Platinum success on multiple continents, and made her second album one of the most award-winning albums of all time.  Since the release of her first single in 2007, she has won five American Music Awards, 12 Billboard Music Awards, 20 Billboard Year-End Awards (for songs that have set records over the previous year), four BRIT Awards, one Golden Globe, nine Grammy Awards, and an Oscar.  She has received 107 major music awards for her two studio albums, out of 188 nominations.  That's a rather impressive average.  To date, she's sold seven million copies of her first album, and 26 million copies of her second album, "21″, worldwide.  As the albums have been immensely popular, her tracks have played on international radio repeatedly, appeared on reality singing competitions, in commercials, in films, in mechanical toys, and at your local karaoke bar.  Consequently, Adele has made a quite healthy bit of profit on royalties alone.  In fact, she reportedly makes $62,000 per day based on her royalties.  This rather sizable influx of income made it possible for her to purchase a massive, and reportedly haunted, mansion in West Sussex.  She recently put that home back on the market, in preparation for moving into another home on the southern coast of England.

Adele's house is known as the "Lock House".  The massive structure, described as a "cottage", houses 10 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and six reception rooms.  Hardwood floors, multiple fireplaces, and massive windows can be found in almost every part of the house, and the kitchen is an uber-modern open plan space with a stunning glass-sided staircase.  Adele's house also features a separate breakfast room, a billiards room, and beautiful chandeliers.  Outside of Adele's house, there is a tennis court and pavilion, a helicopter hangar, a pool, and an additional staff cottage complete with three bedrooms and bathrooms.  The house, which sits on 25 acres of land, is currently available for rent to the tune of roughly $3,500 per week.  It will be interesting to see which A-list musician or actor swoops in to take over the payments on that.

Nobody likes getting a parking ticket, but you'd think anyone with enough money to own a $260,000 Ferrari 458 wouldn't care about an silly $80 violation. Then again, we've also seen countless examples that prove being rich enough to own an expensive car, doesn't mean you are smart enough to operate one. There was the time an impatient rich guy drove his $90,000 Porsche 911 straight into wet cement because he didn't feel like waiting a few minutes at a construction zone. There was guy who sunk his $2 million Bugatti straight into a lake. Or the idiot Lamborghini owner who crashed his car directly into oncoming traffic. And now we have a new member of the dumb rich guy club. This Ferrari owner runs over a cop's foot while trying to escape a parking ticket only to get slammed onto the concrete and arrested for assault. And by the way, his girlfriend happens to be reality start Stephanie Pratt (Spencer Pratt's sister).

***Update April 5, 2013*** Earlier this week a NYC judge dismissed most of the criminal charges against the Ferrari owner Julien Chabbott. The judge dismissed the major assualt charges because the officer apparently did not suffer serious long term injuries. Chabbott will have to perform five days of community service and pay a small fine. In the trial, Chabbott claimed that the Ferrari was parked in a valet zone by the hotel's own valet and therefore the entire incident was not his fault. He still faces civil charges from the officer.

Don Garlits net worth: Don Garlits is an American drag racer who has a net worth of $15 million dollars.

That car, made up of parts from a 1927 Ford Model "T" Roadster, a 1948 Mercury, a 1939 Ford, and a 1948 Ford, would help him win his first NHRA championship race. He turned pro three years later, and spent the next few years popularizing drag racing on the East Coast and in England. After his front-engined car blew up and tore off a part of his right foot, he built the first rear-engined drag racing vehicle. The new design solved multiple safety issues that had been problematic in traditional drag racing vehicles, and after Garlits proved that the new model was faster as well, the new design became commonplace. In recent years, he has continued to race on occasion, and was the 1994 Republican nominee for the 5th Congressional District in Florida.

Earlier today, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton signed a book deal with publishing house Simon & Schuster that will put a reported $14 million advance in her bank account. The book deal comes a little more than two months after Hillary stepped down as Secretary of State, a position she served for Barack Obama's entire first Presidential term. Her future book does not yet have a title but it is being billed as a personal memoir of her time as Secretary of State. Mrs. Clinton is not expected to discuss her failed Presidential campaign of 2008 or the affair her husband had with Monica Lewinsky nearly 18 years ago in this book. Instead, the pages will focus on America's role in international diplomacy today. She will likely discuss her views on the turbulence in the Middle East, relations with China, the ouster and death of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and the assassination of Osama Bin Laden.

Hillary Clinton Book Advance

A $14 million advance nearly doubles the amount Hillary received for her first memoir "Living History", for which she received $8 million. It's also just $1 million shy of the $15 million her husband Bill Clinton was paid for his memoir "My Life". Bill's book wound up selling more than 2.5 million copies which earned him an additional $15 million in royalties, bringings the total payout to $30 million. Can Hillary's book perform as well?

If you were able to successfully turn a DeLorean into a time machine, what's the first thing you would do? Would you travel back in time and visit your parents as teenagers? Would you check out the JFK assassination to see what really went down? Let's be honest, at some point, after you've watched the birth of Jesus 10 times, you'd probably get pretty tired of zipping around to historical events and you'd focus solely on making your future self insanely rich. Right? In Back to the Future, Biff gives his teenage-self a copy of "Grey's Sports Almanac" so he can earn a fortune gambling. In Hot Tub Time Machine, Lou stays in the past and turns himself into a billionaire by inventing "Loogle.com" years before Larry Page and Sergey Brin could think of Google Both those options are very effective for making a ton of money, but they're also kind of complicated.

For most of us, "QUACK", is just the sound of a duck nearby. For the Robertson family, it is the sweet sound of success. When people meet Phil Robertson for the first time, they see a stone cold redneck. They certainly wouldn't think he was the founder of a multi-million-dollar family business, that revolves around duck calls! Pretty amazing isn't it? I must say that Phil Robertson and his family are one unique of "the American dream"!!!

The tradition of making hand-made duck calls began with Phil Robertson, over 25 years ago. Back then he started making these unique handcrafted tools and earned around $8,000 a year. 25 years later, this developed into a successful business, selling all kinds of duck hunting equipment and gadgets, with millions of fans all over America.

Duck Commander, Inc. was established in 1998 as a company for selling sporting goods. What may have started as a small company for hand-made duck call, grew into an empire later on. Recently due to their massive success on reality TV, Duck Commander has launched a huge variety of products like: t-shirts, hunting equipment, key chains, DVDs and CDs, cooking sauces, coolers, gift cards, specially designed hunting caps, air fresheners and so much more. This fast growing popularity of the company is believed to bring the Robertsons an estimated $2,200,000 a year.

However money doesn't flow just from one direction for this American family. Their reality show "Duck Dynasty" is also climbing the popularity scale fast as the third season is reaching its end. Rumors say that the cast is asking for a whopping $200,000 an episode for the upcoming fourth season, with a possibility of future salary raise.

Willie Robertson, one of Phil's four sons, is the CEO of the company. Together with his wife Korie Robertson they have an estimated net worth of around $10 million. The other three, Alan, Jese and Jep, work alongside their brother in the company and together are worth an amazing $15 million.
