It's a commonplace and well known stereotype that in the recording industry, the artists who are actually responsible for making music get the shaft while music executives rake in most of the dough. This dynamic has only grown more pronounced in the age of online streaming, and a recent Citigroup report puts it in surprisingly sharp relief: Despite a new peak in revenue of some $43 billion in 2017, only about 12 percent of that went to artists. And most of that revenue, the report states, comes from touring, rather than having been generated from streaming or record sales.

Bjorn Niclas is the co-founder of a cryptocurrency-based streaming service called Choon. He was invited to provide commentary on the report's findings, and he sums up the relationship between recording artists and the revenue their work generates like this:

"Currently artists are at the end of the line … They get the smallest piece of the pie even though they are the ones creating the content. In any other industry you typically see much better returns and margins."

Almost half of that $43 billion in revenue comes from "consumer outlays," an industry term for concert ticket sales, sales on CDs and records, as well as streaming revenue. Consumer outlays hit an all time high of over $20 billion in 2017, but of that, record labels and publishers got nearly $10 billion, while only $5.1 billion went to artists themselves (and most of that, again, comes from concert revenue).

Frank Micelotta/Parkwood Entertainment via Getty Images

Although 12 percent seems like a low figure, it's actually higher than it was back in the pre-streaming stone age of 2000, when the comparable artist's share was closer to 7 percent. That rise is due to artists realizing that concerts and touring are the best way to make significant money, even for a massively popular recording artist.

The report also calls for "organic forms of vertical integration" in the music business, which would involve big streaming platforms like Apple Music and Spotify to in essence "organically morph into music labels." When this happens, artists would be in a position to secure better financial arrangements for their work by releasing it directly on these platforms, rather than going through a traditional record label in the first place.

Ohio State football head coach Urban Meyer is currently embroiled in a scandal and its resultant internal investigation centered on his team's fired former wide receivers coach, Zach Smith. Meyer is accused by Smith's ex-wife, Courtney Smith, of having been aware of her domestic abuse allegations against Smith for years, until he was eventually fired after the allegations became known to the public. Now, the head coach has been placed on paid administrative leave while an investigation into the matter is conducted by the university. Per a press statement from Ohio State:

"The university is conducting an investigation into these allegations. During the inquiry, Urban Meyer will be on paid administrative leave. Ryan Day will serve as acting head football coach during the investigation. We are focused on supporting our players and on getting to the truth as expeditiously as possible."

Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images

Meyer put out a statement of his own, giving his blessing to the decision, in the hopes that "being on leave during this inquiry will facilitate its completion," and "allows the team to conduct training camp with minimal distraction. I eagerly look forward to the resolution of this matter." In the meantime, assuming his Ohio State salary continues uninterrupted, he will continue making $20,822 per day until his contract is terminated or he eventually goes back on the job. As far as sitting out on your job goes, that's not a bad way to do it, but of course if the investigation finds that Meyer did have prior knowledge of Smith's actions, a fact which he has denied, his job could be in jeopardy in a more indefinite sense.

In the meantime, Ryan Day will handle head coaching duties, while the Buckeyes' season opener against Oregon State is coming in less than a month, scheduled for September 1st.

OK it's time we all get to work and shake off the shroud of averageness that is holding us back. Let's focus on how to become a billionaire. It's not easy, but there are paths to it that can be followed if you are determined, focused, and, let's face it, lucky. Only about 5,700 people in the whole world are worth more than $500 million. Billionaires are even rarer. There are only 2,208 of them. So, what does it take to become a member of the billionaire club?

The first way to become a billionaire is to start your own company. All of the richest people in the world made their money that way: Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett, Amancio Ortega, Sergy Brin, Larry Page and so forth. A full two thirds of the 2,028 billionaires in the world today are self made. It pays to be the boss. The CEOs of the largest 500 companies in the U.S. made more than 361 times the average pay at the company last year.

The next way to become a billionaire is to inherit it. About one third of today's billionaires joined the club by inheriting their fortunes. This includes seven members of the Walton family and the Walmart fortune, Francoise Bettencourt-Meyers, whose family founded L'Oreal, and Jacqueline and John Mars. If you happen to live in Europe, you have a better chance of becoming a billionaire through inheritance. Half of European billionaires inherited their money.

Okay, so maybe you don't have a big idea to start your own company and it's kind of late to be born (or marry) into a billion dollar fortune. There is another way – you could become a hedge fund manager. There are more than 140 people in finance with fortunes bigger than $2.5 billion – that's more than any other industry. Many of those hedge fund billionaires are American. A full 25% of American billionaires made their money in finance, like Ken Griffin, Michael Bloomberg, Ray Dalio, and David Tepper.

There is a catch here (besides an aptitude for math and finance), you really need to start your own firm. Only JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon rose through the ranks of a company to become a billionaire. In the finance industry, hedge fund financiers become billionaires at a more rapid rate.

Of course, the fastest way to becoming a billionaire AND being one of the richest in the world is to found a tech company. Four of the top 10 richest people in the world made their fortunes this way.

In March of 2014, Kobe Bryant invested in sports drink company BodyArmor for the first time. Over the next four and a half years, he put about $6 million of his money into BodyArmor eventually owning a 10% stake in the company. And now, his investment is paying off in a huge way.

BodyArmor, which markets itself as a healthier alternative to Gatorade, is projected to surpass $400 million in sales this year. When Bryant invested, they had totaled $10 million in sales the previous year.

Coca-Cola just announced it purchased a minority stake in BodyArmor. Coca-Cola's investment valued the company at $2 billion. That means Kobe's $6 million 10% stake is worth $200 million today. FYI, that's a 30-fold increase in six years.

Bryant invested in the company the exact same day he announced his new company, Kobe Inc. Since then, he's started a $100 million venture investment firm with entrepreneur Jeff Stibel. Bryant has even won an Oscar via his production company, Granity Studios. The studio's "Dear Basketball" film won for Best Animated Short at this year's Academy Awards.

BodyArmor founder Mike Repole also sold Glaceau, the company behind smartwater and vitaminwater, to Coca-Cola in 2007. That deal was worth $4.1 billion.

Other athletes will be getting a nice bonus, too. Several professional players have equity stakes in BodyArmor as part of their respective endorsement deals. Guys like James Harden, Andrew Luck, and Dustin Johnson could all earn more than $1 million from Coca-Cola's purchase.

Bryant's return on investment is among one of the most impressive ever for an athlete. LeBron James invested less than $1 million into the pizza chain Blaze; that investment is now worth more than $40 million. That's a higher percentage, but Bryant will be earning about five times as much money.

Kobe's BodyArmor stake pushes his net worth above the $500 million mark for the first time.

It seems Bryant is doing just fine in his post-basketball career.

This weekend is the 100th PGA Championship, with a total of $10.5 million in purse money up for grabs (the winner gets a little under $1.9 million). But even in golf, it's not all about the prize money, and the top earners in the sport get to that point through a combination of on-the-course winnings and lucrative endorsement deals. Here are the top five of those earners, with a breakdown of how much of their annual take-home last year came from prize winnings vs how much came from endorsements and other sponsorship contracts.

5. Justin Thomas: $26 Million

Justin Thomas made most of his $26 million last year on the course, with the exception of $5 million from endorsements. You'll find that's the reverse of how the other players on this list made their money.

4. Rory McIlroy: $37.7 Million

Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images

As you can see, Rory McIlroy came close to flipping Justin Thomas' ratio almost exactly. He made just $3.7 million in prize winnings last year, while the remaining $34 million came from his robust endorsement schedule.

3. Jordan Spieth: $41.2 Million 

Andrew Redington/Getty Images

Jordan Spieth did a little better in the prize winnings department, taking in $11.2 million in prize money over the course of last year. But the rest of his earnings came from $30 million worth of endorsement deals.

2. Phil Mickelson: $41.3 Million

Ross Kinnaird/Getty Images

Phil Mickelson just barely edges out Jordan Spieth here, but his $4.3 million in prize earnings is dwarfed by his $37 million worth of endorsements last year.

1. Tiger Woods: $43.3 Million

Ross Kinnaird/Getty Images

No surprise here: The highest paid golfer in the world right now continues to be Tiger Woods, despite his only having won $1.3 million in prize money last year. The rest comes from endorsements, and former Bridgestone Golf (one of the many brands Tiger endorses) CEO summed up the situation in a 2017 interview on CNBC, providing Tiger with the backhanded compliment that he "actually has more power as an endorser than he does as a player."

Divorce is hard enough. Divorce involving children is even harder. Divorce involving children of two of the most famous people in the world is awful. Divorce when one party is Angelina Jolie is a horror show. I mean, is anyone surprised she's bringing the drama? The latest in the Brad Pitt – Angelina Jolie divorce is that she is claiming that he has failed to pay any "meaningful" child support during their acrimonious split. In a classic case of he said/she said, Pitt's attorneys can prove that he has paid over $9 million to his ex and that Jolie's claims are a "thinly veiled effort to manipulate media coverage."

According to a TMZ report, Angelina has been a little cash-strapped recently. Legal filings show that Pitt had to loan Jolie $8 million to buy her current house because she didn't have adequate funds. He has also paid more than $1.3 million in bills for Jolie and their six children. Pitt's attorneys are accusing Jolie of attempting to increase the conflict.

Jolie's lawyers' legal filing claims that Pitt hasn't paid any child support in 18 months. Jolie's filing says:

"Given the informal arrangements around the payment of the children's expenses have not been regularly sustained by [Pitt] for over a year and a half, [Jolie] intends to file an RFO for the establishment of a retroactive child support order."

Kevin Winter/Getty Images

She has asked a judge to arrange a meeting to go over this issue. The definition of "meaningful support" was not defined in either legal filing. Sources close to Pitt expect him to fight the allegations.

This is an unusual move because it would require Jolie to make her finances public if she is asking for child support through the court system. People who are famous usually handle these matters in private arbitration to keep their financial details and other details—such as where the kids go to school–away from pubic knowledge. If Jolie wants to follow through on her threats, she has to file an RFO—request for orders. That will start a child support process in which both parties would need to prove why they needed support. Jolie's attorneys have indicated that she intends to file an RFO.

Jolie and Pitt will have to make a case to the court of what their children's "reasonable needs" are. This gets very complicated because both parents are extremely wealthy. Their six kids travel between London, where Jolie is filming Maleficent 2 and Los Angeles, where Pitt is filming Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, on private planes. They don't go to public, or even well known private, schools. They have tutors because they are always traveling. In short, the Jolie-Pitt kids have extraordinary expenses and the court will only go so high in what it determines "reasonable needs" are.

Pitt and Jolie are also moving towards finalizing the divorce before they've settled their custody and financial issues. A spokesperson for Jolie said her filing on this matter was intended "to provide closure on the marriage in a way that clears a path towards the next stage of their lives and allows her and Brad to recommit as devoted co-parents to their children.

Pitt's attorneys said that he was the one who told Jolie he intended to file for the bifurcation of their marriage. He said Jolie asked him to wait a week before filing and then she instructed her attorneys to file the bifurcation the next day to get the jump on him.

It has been two years since the former power couple split. They started dating in 2004 but weren't legally married until 2014. Interestingly this could have an impact on the splitting of marital assets. The couple famously vowed to not get married until gays and lesbians could also get married. That meant their finances weren't legally bound until 2014 when they tied the knot… despite being together for a decade at that point. They do not have a prenup, but everything earned before marriage is not up for grabs and Brad earned far far far more than Angelina in that time period. Only the income earned between 2014 and 2016 can be split which is a relative pittance.

Of all the professional sports leagues, the NFL's player contracts are probably the least player-friendly. Fully guaranteed contracts are virtually non-existent, and with the average career only lasting about three years, it can be hard to carve out a good amount of money – unless you're a quarterback or a star defensive player.

Perhaps it shouldn't be any surprise, then, that eight of the ten highest earners in the league are quarterbacks. One of the other two is a Super Bowl MVP.

Here's a look at the NFL players – all of whom appear on Forbes' highest-paid athlete list – who earned the most money from June 1, 2017 to June 1, 2018. The numbers below include all salaries, bonuses, and any additional sponsorship money.

Elsa/Getty Images

Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons – $67.3 million

Ryan won the MVP Award in 2016 and is a four-time Pro Bowler. He led the Falcons to the Super Bowl two years ago (his MVP season) and was just a few minutes away from grabbing his first Lombardi Trophy. Though the Falcons regressed a bit as a whole in 2017, Ryan still played well. The team rewarded him with a new five-year, $150 million with $100 million guaranteed, including a signing bonus worth more than $46 million.

Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions – $59.5 million

Stafford signed a $135 million extension with the Lions last season, which made him the highest-paid player in NFL history at the time. In 2011, Stafford became the fourth-player ever to throw for 5,000 yards. He's hit at least 4,257 yards in the six seasons since. However, Stafford has yet to win a playoff game in nine years in the league.

Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints – $42.9 million

No other quarterback has thrown for at least 5,000 yards in a season more than once in their career. Brees has done it five times. The 39-year-old has led the NFL in passing yards seven times and passing touchdowns four times. This offseason, he signed a two-year, $50 million contract extension to stay in New Orleans. In the past year, Brees, who endorses Nike, Pepsi, Wrangler, and Proctor & Gamble, among others, made $13 million in sponsorships.

Harry How/Getty Images

Derek Carr, Oakland Raiders – $42.1 million

In 2016, Carr led the Raiders to their first playoff appearance in 14 seasons, but broke his leg near the end of the season and missed the game. He returned to play 15 games last season, though the Raiders missed out on the postseason. Now more than a full season removed from his injury, the three-time Pro Bowler will look to put up his best year yet.

Alex Smith, Washington Redskins – $41.4 million

Smith set career-highs in passing yards (4,042) and touchdowns (26) last season. His 26:5 touchdown to interception ratio was also quite impressive. Despite helping the Chiefs make the playoffs three seasons in a row, the team traded him to the Washington Redskins this offseason. He'll assume the starting role in Washington, though his supporting cast on offense isn't nearly as strong as it was in Kansas City.

Trumaine Johnson, New York Jets – $37 million

The first defensive player on the list, Johnson spent his first six seasons with the Rams (both in St. Louis and Los Angeles). After two straight seasons under the franchise tag, the 28-year-old signed a five-year, $72.5 million contract with the Jets, though only $34 million of it is guaranteed. Johnson, who's scored a defensive touchdown in three of the past four seasons, started off last year with a bang. He recorded two solo tackles, a pass deflection, forced fumble, fumble recovery, interception, and a touchdown in the team's season opener. In the 15 games after that: just one interception and no forced or recovered fumbles.

Getty Images

Jimmy Garoppolo, San Francisco 49ers – $36.2 million

It pays to hang out with Tom Brady. Garoppolo spent three and a half years as the backup in New England before being traded to the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners didn't lose any of the five games he started, though they'll want him to improve on his 7:5 touchdown to interception ratio this season. The team has high hopes, too: Garoppolo got a five year, $137.5 million contract in February. It has nearly $90 million in guarantees in the first three years.

Ryan Tannehill, Miami Dolphins – $35.2 million

Tannehill played exactly zero downs of football for the Dolphins last season and still made more than $35 million. Not too shabby. Tannehill owns a handful of Dolphins franchise records, including the most passing completions (392) and the highest completion percentage (66.4%) in a single season. Can he return to form after coming off ACL surgery?

Von Miller, Denver Broncos – $35.1 million

The MVP of Super Bowl 50, Miller is one of the highest-paid defensive players in the league. In seven seasons, he's made six Pro Bowl appearances, and even won the MVP of last year's Pro Bowl. Thanks to his Super Bowl MVP, Miller is now more recognizable and brands have tapped into him, resulting in an extra $2 million in his pocket this past year.

Kirk Cousins, Minnesota Vikings – $28.4 million

Much like Johnson, Cousins played multiple seasons under the franchise tag. That resulted in a healthy chunk of change, as well as a hefty contract from the Minnesota Vikings. Cousins signed a three-year, $84 million contract with the Vikings, the first fully guaranteed contract in NFL history. Cousins is actually a great example for other players to take risks on themselves to fight for better contracts worth more money. Cousins only made $4 million his first three years of the seasons, After two straight years under the franchise tag in Washington, he finally parlayed strong play into a huge deal.

During drug kingpin Pablo Escobar's long reign of terror he built many hideaway homes across the Americas. One of these, an estate on the coast of trendy Tulum, Mexico was long forgotten after his death in 1993. The property was rediscovered in 2003 and returned to its original owner. Then, in 2012 someone came along and saw some serious potential in the property. That someone is the New York City based art collector Lio Malca. He bought the mansion and transformed it into a gorgeous, art-filled, high end resort. Casa Malca opened to the public in 2015.

Lio Malca came to prominence in the New York art world in the 1990s. He is known for being an avid collector of the works of Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. He was the go-to connoisseur for many of the hottest contemporary artists. Guests of Casa Malca will get to enjoy his collection as he displays many of his pieces at the hotel—turning it into an art gallery/hotel.

Casa Malca combines the world's best contemporary art with pure spa like relaxation. It sits on one of the hottest beaches in Mexico. The ambience of the property is low-key beach house. The hotel has 42 rooms, each of them just steps from the white sand beach. The rooms are decorated in a neutral palette with bright accents of colors. Floor to ceiling glass doors give every room a ton of natural light and the polished concrete floors make sand a breeze to sweep away.

The hotel has two restaurants serving Yucatan cuisine such as grilled fish with habaneros. The main restaurant, Philosophy, serves Mexican food with an international spin. The rooftop bar has panoramic views of the ocean, beach, and Yucatan jungle. The resort is a breath of fresh air in a region otherwise dominated by massive, generic, big name, all-inclusive resorts.

Casa Malca is just south of Tulum on the northern edge of the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. To get there, fly into Cancun and catch a shuttle or rent a car to traverse the 80 miles south to Tulum.

Something tells me, Pablo Escobar would enjoy what Lio Malca has done with his former hideaway.

Golfer Tommy Fleetwood is on a roll right now. He's finished in the top ten in five of the 14 events he's played at this year, earning more than $3 million in the process. He just missed out on another top ten finish at the Open Championship in July, landing in 12th place. Still, 12th place was good enough for a $154,480 check.

Except the European Tour sent the money to a different Tommy Fleetwood.

However, Tom Fleetwood had previously competed in Challenge Tour events in Europe. His information was on file with the PGA and European Tour. And thanks to a "clerical error," he briefly can say he's won more than $150,000 from a golf tournament.

The teacher's friend, Greg Thorner, was present when his buddy noticed the error. Thorner tweeted a photo of the bank account with the winnings. After getting on the phone with his bank, the American Fleetwood was able to get everything sorted out.

No joke, a friend received Tommy Fleetwood's Open Championship winnings in his bank account last weekend!! They have the same name and he was a PGA pro but still, how does this happen? Didn't believe him until I saw it…good thing he is an honest guy! pic.twitter.com/bE534xfYDV

As Thorner said in his tweet, luckily his pal is an honest guy. The European Fleetwood is still on tour and hasn't been paying much attention to his winnings.

"I wouldn't even know if I'd been paid or not because I don't really look," he said. "It looks pretty genuine and they are looking into it, and I'm sure they'll feel pretty bad about it. It's a funny story."

Fleetwood's money eventually made it to the right place, so this story has a happy ending. But it's a good reminder to routinely check your bank account – especially if you're expecting a six-figure deposit.

The basic appeal of sports is that they satisfy the competitive impulse inside all of us, and there's even room for some healthy debate and speculation if you start mixing different sports together. This is also somewhat true in the financial realm of pro sports, since you can look at how athletes from different sports stack up next to one another in terms of cold, hard, arithmetical earnings. With that in mind, here's a handy list of which athletes were the top yearly earners for the last decade. One surprising aspect of these figures you might want to steel yourself for now: Despite the fact that there are 11 years listed here (counting the current one), there's only a total of three different athletes on the list. And if you tried to guess who they are, you'd probably do OK. Take a look:

2007: Tiger Woods, $100 Million

Eleven years ago is an eternity in the world of pro sports, but as I write this Tiger Woods is in the midst of something of a career comeback. He still has a ways to go, though, if he wants to go back to the financial salad days of 2007, when he took home a cool $100 million.

2008: Tiger Woods, $115 Million

The following year, Tiger did a little better for himself, winning his third US Open tournament and raking in $115 million in the meantime.

2009: Tiger Woods, $110 Million

2009 was the first year since 2004 that Tiger failed to win a major PGA championship, but you wouldn't know it to look at his earnings. He was still the highest paid athlete that year, with a total take of $110 million.

2010: Tiger Woods, $105 Million

At the tail end of 2009, Tiger took a hiatus from pro golf due to his well publicized personal problems, waiting until April of 2010 to make his return. But again, despite all his troubles in this period, he still ranked as the highest paid athlete of that year, with $105 million in total earnings.

2011: Tiger Woods, $75 Million

Tiger's personal problems cost him a few endorsement deals, and that appears to have caused a significant dip in his earnings in 2011, which came in at $75 million. But that was still better than anybody else in pro sports did that year!

2012: Floyd Mayweather, $85 Million

It figures that the person to finally topple Tiger Woods' reign of financial dominance would be the guy who goes by the nickname "Money." And in 2012 he earned $85 million dollars worth of the stuff.

2013: Tiger Woods, $78 Million

And now we're back to Tiger again. It's his last appearance on the list, though, at $78 million.

2014: Floyd Mayweather, $105 Million

Floyd had a Tiger-worthy year in 2014, earning a healthy $105 million, more than Tiger and everybody else in sports for that matter.

2015: Floyd Mayweather, $300 Million

Tiger is on this list the most with six years out of eleven, but it's Floyd who has the single best paid year of the decade, at $300 million.

2016: Cristiano Ronaldo, $88 Million

For 2016 and 2017 we have a brief international interlude with the Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo. In 2016, his first year as the biggest earner in sports, he brought in $88 million.

2017: Cristiano Ronaldo, $93 Million

The following year was an even better one for Ronaldo, with a $5 million bump compared to his 2016 earnings.

2018: Floyd Mayweather, $285 Million

This year, it's back to Floyd Mayweather, who over the last year has earned $285 million worth of his nicknamesake.

Tony Dungy spent 13 seasons as a head coach in the NFL. Nowadays, he serves as an analyst, but he's still seeing some of the same trends as when he was leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Indianapolis Colts. Namely, players are holding out to receive larger contracts.

While Dungy admitted that holdouts put coaches in a tough position, he said he understood why they do it. The average NFL career is three years, and even more players are realizing they won't be playing forever. The sport is just too physically demanding.

"You want to take advantage of it when you can," Dungy said. He noted teams and players have to strike a balance between playing out a contract the player initially signed while also being flexible if the player greatly outperforms his salary.

We've covered Aaron Donald's lengthy holdout with the Los Angeles Rams, which is a top example from this offseason. Donald is still on his rookie deal, which would pay him $6.4 million this year.

Instead, as the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Donald is looking to receive top dollar. He's asking for about three times than amount, in the neighborhood of $20 million.

Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas, who's also in the midst of a holdout, voiced his opinion in a piece on The Players' Tribune.

"What you discover pretty quickly is that in order to survive, football demands everything of you — not just physically and mentally, but emotionally as well," he wrote.

"If you're risking your body to deliver all of this value to an organization, then you deserve some sort of assurance that the organization will take care of you if you get hurt. It's that simple," he continued. "This isn't new, and this isn't complicated. It's the reason I'm holding out — I want to be able to give my everything, on every play, without any doubt in my mind."

For his part, Dungy believes the number of holdouts isn't actually increasing. He just believes we're more aware of what's going on now than in the old days.

Holdouts are tense for everyone involved. Teams are trying to manage the rest of the roster while planning years ahead. Players are doing the same thing, just with their own bodies.

The way they see it, owners have the money to spend. Athletes are just trying to get as much as they can while they're still able to play.

"Despacito" rapper Daddy Yankee is reported to be the victim of an elaborate crime. The thief allegedly stole over $2 million worth of jewelry from the rapper's hotel room safe in Spain, accessing it not by breaking in and cracking the safe but by impersonating him and duping the hotel staff instead. Spain's Las Provincias first reported on the story, which was confirmed by a tweet from Daddy Yankee's public relations team at Nevarez PR (translated from Spanish):

"Daddy Yankee's press office confirms that the artist has been victim of a robbery while he was out of his hotel in Valencia, Spain. A law firm has been hired and there will not be any more statements in order to not hinder the investigation."

Daddy Yankee, whose real name is Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, was outside of his room at the Melía Valencia hotel in Spain when the alleged theft occurred. The Fantomas-like chameleon impersonated the rapper by some unspecified means and convinced the hotel staff to let him into the room and even open up the safe for him. Consequently, he is reported to have made off with more than $2 million worth of diamonds, gold chains, and other jewelry, as well as $2,500 in cash that was being kept elsewhere in the suite. The whole operation is said to have taken about 24 hours, starting with the thief pretending to be part of Daddy Yankee's entourage and "rudely" requesting a copy of the rapper's room key from the desk.

Now, federal authorities in Spain are looking into the crime and are trying to find the identity of Daddy Yankee's criminal double, using potential evidence at their disposal like the hotel guest list, security camera footage, and fingerprints.

You wouldn't think a thief would be able to get into a hotel safe without proving his identity, but perhaps in a weird way Daddy Yankee's fame worked against him in making such a scheme possible.
