There's some drama going down at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center. Some nurses there are petitioning to have the Facebook founder's name removed from their hospital. This request is a direct result of the social network's data scandal with Cambridge Analytica during which the private information of 87 million Facebook accounts was compromised.

The nurses expressed concern over patient privacy. They feel that patients are afraid to tell their doctor what is really going on with them because they don't know who has access to that information. The hospital employees even went as far as to put tape over Mark Zuckerberg's name at the front entrance to the facility.

Mike Dingle, a nursing assistant at the hospital wants the traditional name back. The hospital was known as San Francisco General Hospital for more than a century.

"That's all the more reason to get it off of here so that we get our identity back."

A spokesperson for the hospital said, "…Without exception, our most important commitment is to our patients and to ensuring their well-being and protecting their privacy… In no way has the hospital compromised that commitment."

Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan donated $75 million to the hospital in 2015. After that donation, the hospital dedicated itself in Zuckerberg's name.

"We believe that investing in health is one of the most important things that we can do personally," Zuckerberg said at the time of his donation.

Zuckerberg and Chan's donation was the largest individual donation to a public hospital.

When Shahid Khan moved to the United States at 16 to be an engineering student at the University of Illinois, he had no place to stay and just $500 to his name. That $500 represented his family back at home in Pakistan's entire combined life savings. Shahid worked as a dishwasher at night after class for $1.20 an hour to cover his expenses. He lived at the YMCA. Well, gone are the days of scraping by for a few dollars with no money in his bank account. Case and point? Shahid Khan essentially made $125 million TODAY thanks to the English professional soccer team he owns Fulham F.C.

Oh, we should also mention that Shahid Khan is worth $7.5 billion, so $125 million is just a drop in what is already a very very deep bucket of money, but the way he earned today's windfall is still really cool.

Shahid Khan earned his fortune making car bumpers. You can read a complete and detailed backstory of his inspirational rags to riches life here. The long story short is that Khan's first job out of college was at an auto parts company called Flex-N-Gate. He worked there for seven years then launched his own competing business called Bumper Works. He eventually bought out his old company (which tried to sue him for stealing trade secrets) and built a bumper empire. By 2001, the company was generating $1 billion in annual revenue. Today, the company earns more than $3 billion and employs 12,000 people worldwide.

In October 2011, Shad bought the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars for $620 million in cash. He also assumed $150 million in team debt. He had to take out $300 million worth of loans against Flex-N-Gate to make the deal happen.

In July 2013, Shad bought the struggling London soccer club, Fulham F.C., from Mohamed Al Fayed for $200 million in cash. In the years before the deal closed, Fulham was actually losing $20 million a year and over time had to borrow more than $200 million from Al Fayed to fund operations. Shad also had to clear those debts.

Before today, Fulham F.C. was in the EFL Championship league which is the second highest league in the English Football League system behind the Premier League. The organization of English soccer leagues are sort of complicated but think of it like this:

Imagine if there were a bunch of American football leagues with the NFL being the most prestigious league of them all sitting at the top of a pyramid of smaller leagues. As the top league in the Pyramid, the NFL makes 10x more money than the lower leagues so everyone wants their team to be in the NFL. Now, imagine if any team could jump up to the NFL if their record was good enough. Getting up to the NFL is a huge deal financially for the team owners because that league generates the most money. It's also just really prestigious for the players and fans to have their team in the NFL.

That's what's going on with Fulham. Every year, the bottom three Premier League teams swap places with the top three EFL Championship teams. It's a huge demotion for the teams leaving Premier and a massive promotion for the teams jumping up.

Earlier today, Fulham played a team called Aston Villa in a playoff for the third slot up to the Premier League. Fulham won the game 1-0. With the win, they are now in the Premier League.

The Premier League is the most-watched sports league in the world. Games are broadcast is 212 territories to more than 650 million homes around the world.

The Premier League is the fourth largest league in the world in terms of annual revenue, generating $5.2 billion annually. The NBA #3 with $5.9 billion. MLB is #2 with $7.6 billion. The NFL is #1 with $10.7 billion.

As a Premier League team owner, Shahid Khan is now entitled to a 1/20th stake of the Premier League's annual profits.

The longer a team is in the Premier League, the larger their cut of annual profits. But just as a first year owner, Shahid Khan will receive a MINIMUM of $125 million. For comparison, every year Shahid gets around $250 million from the NFL.

So when you add it all up, in this upcoming year Shahid Khan will earn $375 million in sports team royalties alone. Not bad for a guy who moved to the US with $500 in his pocket!

The legendary comic book creator, Stan Lee, is suing the company he co-founded for $1 billion. He is alleging that POW! Entertainment stole his name, identity, and likeness while he was losing his vision and mourning over his wife's death. He further alleges that they did all of this just to be able to sell the company, Camsing International, which is based in Hong Kong.

Lee is, of course, the brains and creativity behind Marvel Comics. He filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court on May 15^th. The 95-year-old is claiming that POW!'s CEO Shane Duffey and co-founder Gill Champion did not disclose the terms of the deal to him before it was final. He is claiming that POW! took advantage of the fact that he was losing his vision. Lee suffers from macular degeneration. Additionally, he was under emotional distress at the time because his wife was on the verge of death. Duffey and Champion were well aware of his sadness at the time.

Lee claims that Duffey, Champion, and Jerardo Olivarez (his former business manager) asked him to sign a non-exclusive license with POW! for the use of his name and likeness. Lee said that what he actually signed was a an intellectual property assignment agreement that he believes is fraudulent. That agreement gave POW! the exclusive right to use Lee's name, identity, image and likeness on a worldwide basis in perpetuity.'

Sadly, his failing eyesight kept him from being able to read the document before he signed it.  Neither Duffey, Champion, nor Olivarez read the document to him before asking for his signature,

Lee's attorney Adam Grant wrote in the complaint:

"While the Illegitimate Document purports to contain Lee's signature, Lee never knowingly signed it. Either Duffy, Champion, Oliveraz [sic] or POW! (1) forged Lee's signatures; (2) lifted Lee's signature from another document and imposed it on the Illegitimate Document; or, (3) someone, likely one of the Defendants, induced Lee to sign the Illegitimate Document by using a bait and switch tactic: telling Lee it was something else."

Lee also claims that POW! took control of his social media accounts. On Tuesday, May 15 he tweeted:

"Help! Someone has hijacked my Facebook and Instagram. I want everyone to know whoever is writing them is a fraud and is impersonating me. How do I get them back? Can you guys help?'

Lee is asking the court to invalidate the agreement. He wants POW! to pay damages of more than $1 billion. He is also suing Olivarez for defrauding him.

When Jocelyn Wildenstein divorced her art dealer husband Alec in 1999, she received a reported $2.5 billion settlement. That's all gone now. She has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Jocelyn was born in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1940. She grew up lower middle class. When she was 17-years-old she started dating the Swiss movie producer Ciryl Piguet and her life changed. She was introduced to the finer things, flew in a private jet, and moved to Paris with him at 19. In 1977, Jocelyn was introduced to billionaire art heir Alec Wildenstein by Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi on his 60,000-acre ranch in Kenya.

Jocelyn and Alec eloped a year later. Wildenstein started with a simple eye lift during the first year she was married. The couple became legendary for their spending. In the 1990s, they estimated that they spent $1 million a month on average.

By some accounts, Jocelyn and Alec were a weird, reclusive couple. They didn't participate in New York's society scene. Jocelyn managed the family's Ol Jogi ranch in Africa, their apartments in Paris and Lausanne, their French chateau, and their Caribbean home. They raised their two children and all was well, at least until the late 1990s.

During their marriage, Jocelyn underwent millions of dollars worth of plastic surgery to transform her features into a cat-like appearance. This was reportedly to please her husband's tastes. Before the cosmetic surgeries Jocelyn was a great beauty. But that still that was not enough to please her husband. In 1997, Jocelyn caught him in bed with a teenage Russian model. There was a gun involved in the altercation that ensued. No one was injured, but Alec was charged with menacing.

Two decades later, Wildenstein has no checking account, no savings account, no retirement fund, no investments, and no pension. Her only source of income is her $900 a month Social Security check. She values her wardrobe at being worth $1,000 and her jewelry at $0. Those figures stand out as she is rarely seen without her 32-carat diamond engagement ring, a luxury handbag, and a fur coat.

The filing of Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection comes after a petition was filed against her by three of her creditors, including the Board at Trump World Towers. They are in the process of foreclosing on the three apartments she owns in the building. The other two petitioners were the law firms of Carter Ledyard & Milburn and Matalon Shweky Elman, who Wildenstein owes $124,605.46 and $78,474.23 respectively.

Wildenstein's filing claimed that she has a better chance at paying off her debt through Chapter 11 rather than liquidation of her assets.

She owes the contractors who worked on her New York City apartments $175,000, a landlord of a bungalow in Beverly Hills she rented in 2014 $165,000, a furniture store $80,000, American Express $70,000, her architect $25,000, a real estate firm $12,000, and a storage company $8,000. She owes four law firms a combined total of more than $273,000. She also owes the New York State Department of labor $30,431. She owes $179,000 to Trump World Tower Condominiums and $4.6 million to Catellan Capital. Her $11.75 million apartments are collateral for those last two debts.

She also owes $38,000 to Chase Auto Finance for her 2006 Bentley and $700,000 to a storage facility in Manhattan, for which her furniture is collateral. However, in her filing, she claims her furniture is worth $100,000, which would not be enough to cover that debt.

Wildenstein's personal property is worth $16,386,100. That includes her apartment and the $4.5 million she has not received from her 1999 divorce settlement, despite her ex-husband passing away in 2008.

The amount of her personal property does exceed her debt. Her goal is to pay all of her creditors back the money she owes.

Warren Buffett has made his opinion about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies known. He doesn't believe they are a viable alternative to currency. In a recent interview with Yahoo Finance, he explained exactly why his conclusion is that paying for bitcoins does not represent an actual investment. Rather, he says doing so falls more accurately under the category of speculation:

"If you buy something like a farm, an apartment house, or an interest in a business… You can do that on a private basis… And it's a perfectly satisfactory investment. You look at the investment itself to deliver the return to you. Now, if you buy something like bitcoin or some cryptocurrency, you don't really have anything that has produced anything. You're just hoping the next guy pays more… You aren't investing when you do that. You're speculating."

Now, Genesis Mining, a cryptocurrency mining company based in Iceland, is trolling Buffett. The company has erected billboards outside of the Omaha offices of Berkshire Hathaway.

The co-founder of Genesis Mining tweeted photos of the billboards, which refer to Buffett's admission that he was wrong about not investing in Google and Amazon in their early days.

The billboards say:

"Warren: You said you were wrong about Google and Amazon. Maybe you're wrong about Bitcoin."

At the annual shareholder meeting of Berkshire Hathaway earlier this month, Buffett said that Bitcoin was "probably rat poison squared." He advised his investors to avoid it and other cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have lost a lot of value this year. Last year, Bitcoin and its competitors seemed unstoppable as the valuation of cryptocurrencies were steadily on the rise. Bitcoin has declined by 40% since the beginning of this year.

Elon Musk is having a strange day. Not that that is unusual for him. After all, he's been known to take to Twitter to spout off on some truly bizarre theories. That's exactly what he did early Friday morning, when he posted an emoji of a snail on Twitter. That snail is a reference to how fast his company, The Boring Company, is able to tunnel under Los Angeles. Or, rather, how slow his company is moving. The Twitter thread went on to say:

"His name is Gary & he's a snail. He taunts us with his speed … But The Boring Company is right behind you at 1/15th your speed & soon will be 1/10th! Start sweating."

The Twitter thread referred to something Musk said at a community meeting in Los Angeles on Thursday. He was discussing the progress his company was making towards building a network of tunnels under L.A. to help abate the city's famous traffic problem.

At that same meeting Musk also had some thoughts on why flying cars could be very, very dangerous. In fact, he doesn't like the idea of flying cars at all. His biggest concerns with them are the noise and the potential for a part to break off and fall and hit someone on the ground.

"There will be zillions of these things flying all over the place and, inevitably, somebody's not going to service their car properly and they're going to drop a hubcap and it's going to guillotine somebody. And it's going to be noisy like a hurricane."

This isn't a new thought for the billionaire. He believes addressing traffic by building a high speed underground transit system is the way to go. He plans to call the one he wants to put under Los Angeles Loop. It will be a lower speed alternative to his Hyperloop. Hyperloop will be for travel between cities. Loop will be for shorter distance travel. Hyperloop will hit speeds of over 600mph. Loop pods would move at 150mph.

The Loop pods would carry 16 people and transport passengers underground. Rides are expected to cost as little as $1.

Musk appears to be taking direct aim at Uber with his comments about flying cars. Earlier this month, Uber unveiled a prototype for a flying taxi that is part of UberAir, which will take passengers between rooftop landing pads the company is planning to call skyports. UberAir is set to test the service in Los Angeles and Dallas and begin offering rides in those cities in 2023.

Jan Koum became an instant billionaire when Facebook acquired his startup, WhatsApp, for more than $19 billion in 2014. It was an incredible accomplishment for an immigrant who grew up on food stamps. Earlier this month, Koum announced that he is leaving the company he built and also stepping down from Facebook's board of directors. His reasoning? Koum is reportedly upset that Facebook plans to weaken encryption and use personal micro-targeted data from the app for advertising. He has reportedly been clashing with Facebook management for months.

On Tuesday, 2.5 million shares owned by Koum were vested. He held back about half of them for tax obligations according to the regulatory filing. His Butterfly Trust sold the rest of those shares on Wednesday. That added $458 million to his net worth.

Koum still owns 4.6 million restricted shares, which vest in August and November. Unfortunately, those stock awards are contingent on him still being employed with Facebook on those dates. The only way around that is if his exit is an involuntary termination or resignation for good reason, according to regulatory filings.

Koum's exit from Facebook is pretty unusual. Zuckerberg's inner circle of management and its board of directors have been very loyal as scandals have plagued the social network. Additionally, Koum is the only founder of a company Facebook acquired who was a member of its board of directors.

It wasn't all that long ago that we were heaping praise on Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes for her revolutionary blood testing methods and her self-made billions. She was the youngest female self-made billionaire in history. Then she lost it all. And we do mean all. She lost the billions. She was banned from running a lab for a number of years. Now, it's gotten even worse. Her reputation is completely destroyed.

The biotech company was in operation for 12 years before questions about its practices and suspicions about its authenticity surfaced. Now, it turns out that Theranos was a FRAUD from the start. In a new book from The Wall Street Journal reporter, John Carreyrou, called Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup, he recounts an early demonstration of Thernos' blood testing system. It was Carreyou's exposed WSJ report that cracked open the issues at Theranos 12 years after its 2003 founding. Thernos had claimed their tests could deliver results for hundreds of conditions and diseases using just one drop of blood.

In 2006, Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes was giving a demonstration of her blood testing system at the pharmaceutical company Novartis in Switzerland. The demonstration was supposed to give real time results, however, the testing failed and Theranos sent over FAKE results from the lab in California. Those fake results were predetermined in the event of a failure of the blood testing. Theranos and her team were well aware that their blood testing system was faulty, therefore, they arranged to have these fake results at the ready to cover their butts. Then Theranos CFO Henri Mosley noticed some unease amongst Theranos employees after the incident in Switzerland.

In his book, Carreyrou writes:

"Mosley couldn't get a straight answer from anyone, but he now suspected some similar sleight of hand. And he was right. One of the two readers Elizabeth took to Switzerland had malfunctioned when they got there. The employees she brought with her had stayed up all night trying to get it to work. To mask the problem during the demo the next morning, Tim Kemp's team in California had beamed over a fake result."

When Mosley learned about the pre-determined results, he approached Holmes about it. Mosley was fired for doing so.

Fast forward to 2014, and Rupert Murdoch, head of News Corp. invested $125 million into Theranos, making him its biggest investor.

In 2015, when Holmes got word that Carreyrou's WSJ piece on her company was about to break, she made an appointment with the media mogul. She was aware that Carreyrou's piece was going to expose Theranos as a fraud. The company had a $10 billion valuation at the time. Holmes, well aware that Murdoch had $125 million sunk into her company, pled with him to kill the story. Murdoch refused.

Say what you will about Murdoch's business practices, when he could have saved himself $125 million, he went with the story that would destroy a company he had heavily invested in. A year later he sold back his $125 million investment for $1.

Over the years, Holmes and her top executives refused to allow anyone to look at the technology behind her idea. Staff who asked questions were threatened or fired. Investors were told they would not be getting any regular updates on the status of the company. No one wanted to miss out on the chance to be a part of the next Facebook or SnapChat, so they stopped asking questions.

Elizabeth Holmes is facing federal criminal investigations and has been charged by the SEC with running an "elaborate, years-long fraud." Holmes was thought to be a genius and revolutionary. It turns out she was just an egomaniacal liar capable of fooling nearly everyone but one Wall Street Journal reporter who smelled something foul and investigated it.

In 2015, Elizabeth Holmes had a net worth of $4.5 billion. Today she has a net worth of $0.

Many successful business people will credit their success merely to identifying a need in the marketplace, filling it, and profiting accordingly. It sounds simple, but it's not so simple when you consider the case of Gregg Miller, the man who became a millionaire by finding and filling a need in the marketplace for artificial dog testicles.

Miller is the founder of Neuticles, the company that's made him both a millionaire and a recent CNBC profile subject. Neuticles are silicone testicular implants that are designed to cosmetically maintain a dog's appearance following the neutering procedure, and Miller claims that it isn't just dog owners who desire this product but the dogs themselves.

How many dogs? Miller says he's provided more than 500,000 pairs of Neuticles over the last 20 years. The average set costs a little over $300, but some custom jobs have been significantly more expensive: One satisfied client is an elephant at a zoo, who was granted a "watermelon-sized" pair that cost $2,800.

Neuticles made Miller's name in the business world, but it was not his first business venture. Shortly after dropping out of journalism school he founded his own advertising business and eventually invented SweeTube, a confection that landed him contracts with big companies like Macy's and Disneyland. Then Buck, a bloodhound puppy came into his life. At first he refused to have the dog neutered, but after he ran off in search of companionship he realized this was not a sustainable option. And he had an idea that like all successful ideas exists an intersection between insane and inspired:

"He asked his veterinarian if someone made implants, 'so Buck can maintain his God-given natural look.' The vet told him that was 'the craziest damn thing I've ever heard of.'"

Miller became convinced that Buck missed his old self after being neutered, and eventually his veterinarian came around on the "crazy" idea as well. The two collaborated on a prototype, and the rest is fake dog testicle history. The first Neuticles were made from a hard plastic, but silicone was introduced in order to correct the resultant "clanking" problem. Now, the brand includes 11 different sizes for a variety of animals, plus other cosmetic implants for other parts of the animal body. It just goes to show, if an idea is crazy enough, it might also be original enough to make a fortune.

Picture this: The year is 1971. You're a 21 year old student at Portland State University finishing up a degree in graphic design. One day, an accounting professor approaches you with a potential freelance job opportunity. Outside of teaching accounting, this bearded young professor also runs a small business in his free time called Blue Ribbon Sports. Blue Ribbon Sports bills itself as an "athletic footwear company", but they mainly re-sell imported shoes from Japan. Knowing that you're a graphic design student, the professor explains that his company is about to change its name, and is looking for someone to come up with a new corporate logo.

How much would you charge? $100? $200? $500? $1000?

Let's take the high number, $1000. Even in 2014, that would probably be an awesome payday for one simple freelance job. Especially for a college student. So you design the logo and earn your $1000. You're flush with beer and pizza for at least a few months. Slam dunk. Fast forward a couple years… How would you feel if that $1000 design ended up becoming the most famous corporate logo of all time and one of the most recognizable symbols on the planet??? Regret? Pride? Mixture of both?

There is one person on the planet who knows exactly how this scenario feels. Her name is Carolyn Davidson and in case you haven't picked up on it by now, that accounting professor back at Portland State, was none other than future multi-billionaire Phil Knight. His company, Blue Ribbon Sports, would soon be known as Nike and Carolyn's design would soon be known as The Swoosh. Oh, and btw Carolyn didn't charge $1000. Or $500. Or even $100. When you find out how much she actually was paid, you might puke. Fortunately, this story has a happy ending…

Everything we just described above is pretty much exactly what went down at Portland State back in 1971. Phil Knight actually approached Carolyn after he overheard her complain to a friend that she couldn't afford to take an oil painting class. Knight said:

"Excuse me, are you the one who can't afford to take oil painting?"

Knight then went on to explain how his side business, Blue Ribbon Sports, had been looking for a part-time graphic designer to help create charts and graphs for an upcoming meeting with a group of Japanese business executives. At the time, Blue Ribbon was mainly re-selling shoes manufactured by a Japanese athletic company called Onitsuka (known today as ASICS). Knight offered to pay Carolyn $2 an hour to create the charts and graphs. This first freelance job led to a few more…

Eventually, Blue Ribbon's deal with Onitsuka soured and then expired altogether. Fortunately, by this point Phil's co-founder, University of Oregon track and field coach Bill Bowerman, had been designing shoes of their own that the company could sell direct to consumers. Bowerman's most famous early-innovation was using his wife's waffle-iron to create light-weight rubber soles that gripped the track better than any other shoe at the time.

When the Onitsuka deal died, Phil Knight decided Blue Ribbon needed to be re-branded with a shiny new name and shiny new logo. Knight wanted to call the company "Dimension 6", but an early employee suggested they use the name "Nike" instead. Nike is the Greek Goddess of victory. The name stuck.

For the logo, the only instructions Knight gave Davidson was that it should convey motion and could NOT look too much like Adidas' three stripes, Puma's puma or Onitsuka's tiger.

The price both parties agreed upon for the logo job? $35 dollars.

Let me repeat that. Carolyn Davidson was paid $35 to design what would eventually become the most famous logo of all time.

Carolyn immediately went to work doodling hundreds of ideas. After toiling away for three weeks, she narrowed down her six favorites and showed them to a small group of Nike execs. The first reactions were not exactly positive, but time was of the essence so Phil settled on a black curvy logo that Carolyn dubbed the "Swoosh". Phil's exact reaction was:

"Well, I don't love it, but maybe it will grow on me."

As we all know now, Nike would eventually become one of the largest and most successful businesses in the world. And along the way, Carolyn's $35 freelance job would become one of the most famous symbols in the world. Nike went public on December 2, 1980 and instantly turned Phil Night and his senior executives into multi-multi-millionaires. Today Phil Knight is worth $19.2 billion dollars. So is Carolyn Davidson bitter about not getting a better deal??? Fortunately, Nike made it up to her…

Three years after going public, Carolyn was invited back to the company's headquarters to have lunch with Phil Knight and company President Bob Woodell. When Carolyn showed up, she discovered that the lunch was actually a big party in her honor. At the party, Phil presented her with a gold ring in the shape of her Swoosh that was decorated with a small diamond in the logo's curve.

As Davidson started to cry with happiness, Bob Woodell handed her an envelope. The envelope contained 500 shares of Nike stock. At the time, Nike was trading at $17 a share so this represented an $8500 gift (which is worth $20,000 after adjusting for inflation). And while that may not seem like a lot, Carolyn never sold a single share. Fast forward three decades and Nike's stock has had four 2-1 splits. That means Carolyn's original 500 shares are now 8000 shares. Today, Nike closed at $72 dollars per share, which means Carolyn's stake today is worth $586,000!

Carolyn graduated from Portland State in 1971 and continued to work at Nike until 1976. She then left the company to become a full time homemaker and freelancer. She recently retired and now volunteers at her local Ronald McDonald House in Portland. When OregonLive.com caught up with Carolyn recently, they asked her what she thinks of the Nike Swoosh today. She replied:

"I like it. I really do. I never get tired of looking at it."

Speaking Of Logos…
I know what you're thinking. What about the iconic Celebrity Net Worth piggy bank logo??!! Where did that come from?? Well, wonder no more. Back in October 2009, CelebrityNetWorth was just a side project that I fiddled with at night when I came home from my day job. The domain name back then was actually www.celebnetworth.com because www.celebritynetworth.com was taken. When I had the idea for the site (which is a much longer story that I will tell another time) I paid an Elance.com designer in India $200 to come up with something simple that I could play with. This is what he came up with, and what CNW looked like for the first six months it existed:

Yes it was hideous, but it was also very functional and allowed me to see if this idea had legs without investing my life savings ($3000 at the time). After a few months, the idea did seem to have some potential, so I decided it was time to pay for a higher quality design. I hired a designer in Texas named Nick who runs a company called Think Four Graphic Design out of Houston (google them if you're in the market for a designer, highly recommended). I found Nick because he was profiled on a wordpress design blog that I visited a few times. I found his company's website and sent a cold email asking for a quote. The price we agreed on was $900. Roughly 1/3 of my net worth at the time.

The only instruction I gave to Nick was that I wanted the background to be white and I wanted a huge search box in the top-center of every page. I didn't say anything about a logo because I had never even thought about it. Two weeks later, Nick came back with this:

Pretty awesome, right? And honestly not that different from what you see today, four years later! Also, note the little piggy bank logo? I remember Nick telling me that he threw that together sort of on a whim and wasn't sure if I would like it at all. But I loved it!

For no reason in particular, this ended up being the only project Nick ever worked on for CNW. I think he was really busy with other stuff and I didn't really need anything else designed for another year or two. It's been about four years since I've heard from Nick, hope he's doing well! The last time we actually talked was the morning after Tosh.0 randomly did a hilarious five minute segment about CelebrityNetWorth. I didn't even know the segment happened until I saw an email the next morning from Nick:

"I saw the segment on Tosh.0 about Celebrity Networth!!! It was crazy. I was watching TV, and then they showed a logo I did! I bet it was 100x cooler for you, ha. Congrats man, thats really, really awesome."

So that's the story of our piggy bank logo. Some day if CNW turns me into a billionaire, maybe I'll find Nick and throwing him a couple mill

Post script: I sent Nick a link to this article late last night using an email that he hopefully still checked, and he just wrote back! Maybe we'll find something new to work on together now. Appropriately, Nick ended his email with: "Heres to hoping CNW makes you a billionaire "

Jordan Belfort defrauded clients out of more than $200 million. He owes those victims $97.5 million but has only paid them less than $13 million in the 10 years since he got out of prison, despite the money he made for his memoir, the film adaptation of it, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and the $9 million he earned from speaking engagements from 2013-2015. Where's the money, Belfort?

Judge Ann Donnelly informed Belfort's attorney that he needed to set up a payment schedule for the money he has failed to pay into the victims' fund. At the time of the hearing, Belfort was in Lithuania giving a paid speech. After the hearing, Belfort posted on Twitter:

"Always keep in mind when pushing boundaries to control your downside risk so you'll always have enough in reserve to produce your own million dollar product."

It seems that Belfort didn't lose any of the hubris that landed him in prison in the first place. The judge appears to have agreed. She said:

"Sorry to interrupt his busy schedule. He's going to have to come here so we can get a grip on what's going on."

There has been a lot of drama since Belfort got out of prison, when it comes to how much of his earnings should be garnished for the victims' fund. The U.S. Attorney's office amped up their efforts to garnish Belfort's earnings last year. A Writ of Continuing garnishment was issued in an attempt to seize a portion of his disposable income. Belfort paid roughly $700,000 into the fund in the three years after he was released from prison. He made no payments at all in 2010. He has paid back $12.8 million in the past 10 years. He still owes $97.5 million to the fund—which is only half the money he stole from his clients. Most of the money he has actually paid back comes from the $11 million seized at the time of his arrest by U.S. Marshalls. So, basically, he has paid back almost nothing personally.

In 2014, Belfort took to Facebook to talk about how much he was paying back, writing:

"For the record, I am not turning over 50 percent of the profits of the books and the movie, which was what the government had wanted me to do. Instead, I insisted on turning over 100 percent of the profits."

Apparently, that was not the case, as a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York issued a statement saying:

"The government has seen nothing to suggest that even 100 percent of Belfort's profits from his book and the movie Wolf of Wall Street would yield, in his words, 'countless millions,' much less the approximately $100 million that is still owed to the victims."

The government also had to aggressively pursue the publisher of Belfort's book and studio behind the movie to get some of the money being paid to Belfort redirected to the victims' fund.

Belfort has claimed a number of times that he has never profited from the book or the movie. He has also claimed that he has paid way more towards the restitution than he was required to do by the courts. On December 29, 2017, he wrote on Facebook:

"I am not making any royalties off the film or the books, and I am totally content with that. My income comes from new life, which is far better than my old one. For the record, I am not turning over 50% of the profits of the books and the movie, which was what the government had wanted me to do. Instead, I insisted on turning over 100% of the profits of both books and the movie, which is to say, I am not making a single dime on any of this. This should amount to countless millions of dollars and hopefully be more than enough to pay back anyone who is still out there."

Belfort made a fortune by using high pressure, deceptive tactics to sell penny stocks at inflated prices to people new to investing. After Belfort pumped the value up fraudulently, he would sell his shares before the prices crashed. As a result, he made a huge fortune in a short period of time and that put him on the radar of government watchdogs.

Belfort was arrested in 1999. He entered a guilty plea on charges of fraud and other crimes of stock market manipulation. In 2003, Belfort was sentenced to three and a half years in prison and ordered to chip away at the $110 million restitution by paying half of his future earnings to the government.

As mentioned, to date, the victim's fund has received $12.8 million, $11 million of which was seized at the time of Belfort's arrest. Meanwhile, he continues to insist he's paid all of it.

Prison didn't teach him a thing.
