Paul Allen and Bill Gates met in high school while attending The Lakeside School in Washington. They became fast friends who got their start programming and hacking, thanks to the access they had to a mainframe system owned by their school. The school infamously bought what it expected would be a year's worth of time on the mainframe, only to find Allen and Gates had used up that time in just three weeks.

Soon, Allen was finding ways to sneak into computer labs and logging in as an administrator. Allen even passed himself off as a graduate student at the University of Washington, so he could get in some extra programming time. Eventually, he was caught and banned from the lab. Allen and Gates pressed on however. Their big break came when they saw an article about the Altair 8000 in Popular Electronics Magazine. The computer was small and inexpensive and was ideal for home computing. The two men got in touch with the computer's manufacturer and offered to design a programming language for the Altair 8000. That language was called BASIC, and its development opened their eyes to the potential opportunity that existed in creating a programming language. Oh, and yes, they designed it for a computer they not only didn't own, but one they had never even seen before. Incredibly, it was a success and their language worked.

Paul Allen co-founded Microsoft with Bill Gates in 1975. It was Allen who eventually dubbed their venture "Micro-Soft". They trademarked the shortened version "Microsoft" on November 26, 1976.

Fast forward to today and Paul Allen's net worth has skyrocketed to $20 billion. He is the owner of both the NFL's Seattle Seahawks (and has a Super Bowl win) and the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers. He lost his battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma this week. Allen was a lifelong bachelor with no children. His surviving family are his sister Jody and her three adult children.

Allen was a major philanthropist—he donated $95 million in the last year alone. However, Allen also took the time and spent the money to enjoy the spoils of his wealth. He owned a number of homes, yachts, planes, and an art collection.

Allen's sister and her children lived near him in Seattle. He owned at least nine mansions on exclusive Mercer Island. His main residence was a 10,000 square foot home with an indoor pool. Allen also owned an entire island off the coast of Washington—dubbed Allen Island, he purchased it in 1992 with the plan to build his dream home there. However, the lack of infrastructure led him to sell the island in 2013 for $8 million.

Allen's real estate portfolio spans the globe. In 1997 he bought the Beverly Hills property called The Enchanted Hill for $20 million. He demolished the Wallace Neff designed Spanish Colonial home that had been built on 24 acres in the 1920s. Allen never redeveloped the land. He put it on the market in July for $150 million. He also owned a contemporary home on Malibu's Carbon Beach which he bought in 2010 for $25 million. He sold that home to former CBS chief Les Moonves in 2014 for $28 million, allegedly because he hated the sound of the ocean. He also owned a 12,952 square foot mansion in Beverly Hills. In Northern California, Allen bought a 22,000 square foot, 8 bedroom, 9.5 bathroom home in the wealthy enclave of Atherton in 2013.

In Hawaii, Allen owned a $7.5 million, 10 acre estate known as the Thurston Estate on Hawaii's Big Island. The home in Kailua-Kona has a 12,000 square foot main house, a beach house, a house for employees, and a private harbor.

Allen also had a number of properties in New York City. He purchased an 18-room, 11^thfloor apartment at 4 East 66^thStreet in 1996 for $13.5 million. In 2011, he spent $25 million for the penthouse in the same building. The two apartments combined gave Allen an enormous duplex penthouse with a terrace space on the roof.

Outside of the U.S., Allen owned a home in London's chic Holland Park. In France, he owned the historic Villa Maryland which was built in 1904 for a friend of King Edward VII. The estate is perched on the Cote d'Azur and played host to a number of celebrity filled parties. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were frequent guests.

Allen was also a super yacht enthusiast. He bought Tatoosh in 2001 for $160 million. The ship can sleep 20 guests in 10 cabins, with room for 35 staff houses in an additional 16 cabins. Allen spent $200 million to build Octopus in 2003. The 414-foot yacht has a pool, two helicopters, a basketball court, movie theater, recording studio, and room for 26 guests in 41 suites. Allen also owned a 250.8 foot research vessel called the RV Petral. The RV Petral was refitted last year and has already found the wrecks of the USS Indianapolis and USS Lexington.

Allen also had an art collection that had him listed in the Top 200 Collectors by ARTnews since 1999. Following his death, the magazine wrote that Allen built "a highly regarded collection that was notoriously guarded – for many years, he demanded that his employees keep quiet about his holdings. In recent years, he began loosening the secrecy surrounding his collection, which focused on Old Masters, Impressionists, and modern and contemporary art, and included work by artists such as Renoir, Manet, Gauguin, and Seurat, as well as Mark Rothko, Edward Hopper, Alexander Calder, Ed Ruscha, and David Hockney."

In March, Allen sold a Willem de Kooning painting for $30 million.

Allen also had a collection of vintage planes that he began collecting in the 1990s. This collection is believed to be worth billions. It contains fighters and bombers from the U.S., U.K., Germany, Russia, and Japan.

What will become of Allen's vast fortune, properties, art collection, and other assets is yet to be known. We can assume his sister and her kids will receive a significant inheritance. Allen has also been a member of The Giving Pledge since 2010. He gave away hundreds of million before he died. A number of charities and his relatives are waiting to see where the balance of Paul Allen's fortune will end up.

Step aside A-Rod, LeBron, Floyd and Kobe. Mexican boxer Saul "Canelo" Alvarez just signed the largest contract in sports history. You read that right. A Mexican boxer who might not get recognized walking down the streets of your average American city, is now officially the highest paid athlete in the world. As his promoter, Oscar De La Hoya put it:

"Canelo is the highest paid athlete in the world. He's extremely happy." Uh, ya. I hope Canelo is happy considering how much money he's about to make.

On Wednesday morning Canelo (Spanish for "cinnamon" – a reference to his red hair) signed a 5-year $365 million contract with streaming sports network DAZN. The contract covers 11 fights.

That's enough to be the biggest sports contract in history and technically makes Canelo the highest paid athlete on the planet. The previous record holder for largest contract in sports history was baseball player Giancarlo Stanton who signed a 13-year $325 million contract with the Miami Marlins back in 2014. Up until today that was the largest contract in terms of total dollars paid. It is not the largest contract in terms of earnings per contract year.

I'm not sure if LeBron is #1 for earnings per contract year because soccer guys like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi make a ton of money each year that isn't officially confirmed. For your reference, in July 2018 LeBron James signed a 4-year, $153 million deal with the Lakers. That breaks down to $38 million per contract year. A huge number for a base sports salary but peanuts to Canelo's new deal.

As we mentioned previously, Canelo will earn a total of $365 million over 5 years. So right off the bat he tops Giancarlo's $325 million record by $40 million. In terms of earnings per fight, we're talking about $33 million. But in terms of earnings per contract year, we're talking about a mind-numbing $73 million.

The timing is interesting. Just a few weeks ago HBO announced that – after 45 years – they were no longer airing boxing matches beyond the end of 2018.  You'd think this announcement would leave boxers like Canelo scrambling for any puny deal they could land. Fortunately, newly-launched streaming company DAZN was waiting in the wings with big plans and extremely deep pockets.

DAZN is not a Pay Per View service. It's a subscription service that costs $9.99 per month. When Saul fought for a PPV network such as HBO or Showtime, he would earn a percentage of the PPV sales above a certain milestone. When he fought GGG a month ago, PPV bonuses brought his total earnings to $50 million.

Under his new deal, Saul will not earn PPV bonuses but he does have the ability to earn bonuses based on DAZN subscriber milestones. Saul commented on this aspect of the deal to ESPN today:

"The most important thing to me was being able to give the fans the opportunity to see me fight without having to pay the $70 or $80 for my fights on pay-per-view. That was the most important thing, more important than what I am making. It's very important for me to give the fans the biggest fights and the most important fights, and I promise you I will always do that. The December fight with Fielding is a dangerous fight. I am moving up in weight, and I don't know how my body will feel. But I always want to take on challenges, and I am very happy my fans will be able to see me fight for a small cost."

As part of the deal, Oscar De La Hoya's Goldenboy Productions has agreed to provide 10 additional "high caliber" fight nights per year for DAZN. DAZN is trying to make sure subscribers have at least one exciting fight to look forward to every month. Goldenboy has also agreed to give DAZN access to its entire library of past fights for additional streaming content.

Canelo's first fight under the deal will be his December 15 bout against Rocky Fielding at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

As of this writing, Canelo has earned around $135 million in his career. By the time this deal is up, his boxing career earnings will be $500 million. Tack on another roughly $100 million from endorsements and his total earnings will easily top $600 million. After today's news, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez's net worth is $100 million.

Saul Alvarez Major Purse History:

Sugar Shane Mosely: $1.2 million
Josesito Lopez: $2 million
Floyd Mayweather: $12 million
Miguel Cotto: $5 million
Amir Khan: $25 million
Gennady Golovkin I: $40 million
Gennady Golovkin II: $50 million

So there you have it! Would you consider paying $9.99 to subscribe to DAZN? I wonder if they have the option just to subscribe for the month of a fight you really want to see. That's kind of compelling I guess.

Either way, congrats to Canelo! The highest paid athlete in the world!

If you're Richard Branson, you have to be pretty happy about where you're at in life, right? He has a $5.1 billion fortune, owns a pretty kick-ass private island, an airline, a space exploration company, and he hob nobs with everyone from the Dalai Lama to Eddie Vedder. He dropped out of school at 16, and a few years later, started selling records by mail order. He earned his first million by the age of 23. They say it's good to be King, but I think they got that wrong. It is good to be Richard Branson. That man has made it, by all conceivable measurements. His Virgin Group brings in more than $21 billion a year in global revenue. However, it turns out that Branson is not all that comfortable with lavish displays of wealth—and largely tries to avoid them.

Sure, Branson has, on occasion, spent money indulgently, but as a rule, only to make money in return. Branson considers himself to be pretty frugal and has chosen not to own objects of pure luxury. He's also a major philanthropist and member of the Giving Pledge. Let's take a look at how the daredevil billionaire spends his fortune.

A high school teacher famously told Branson that he'd either be a multi millionaire or end up in jail.

He launched Virgin Records in 1972. The Virgin Group conglomerate grew out of this.

Branson grew up in middle class, which has helped him remain frugal even as he amassed his multi-billion dollar fortune. Back in 2002, during an interview with The Guardian, Branson said:

"The idea of having a possession that is there just as pure luxury and is not actually paying its bills is something which I'd be embarrassed about."

That said, Branson has made a number of splashy purchases, but they are usually more of an investment than an indulgence. For example, Branson bought his private Necker Island in 1978 for $180,000. In 1983, he spent $10 million building the resort on the island that doubles as his home. In 2006, the value of the island was $60 million. That's a 33,233% increase in 28 years. Branson has called this the best financial move of his life.

Necker Island isn't Branson's only luxury real estate holdings. He also owns Son Bunyola in northwest Mallorca, which is an estate with three villas for guests. He also owns a ski resort in the Swiss Alps called The Lodge. Rooms start at $945 per night. If you want to book the whole lodge for a week in winter, that will run you $89,916. Branson also owns properties in Cape Town, South Africa and Morocco.

Branson owns Mahali Mzuri, a safari camp in the Maasai Nara National Reserve in Kenya. The tented camp has a 40-foot infinity pool. Tents are $590 a night. He has a fourth property in Africa, Ulusaba, which is in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve.

Before he moved to Necker Island, he owned homes in London. It isn't known how much he paid for his Oxfordshire mansion, but he sold it to his kids for $1.78 million. He also had a home in London's Holland Park that he bought for $3.3 million and listed much later for $23.12 million.

Another thing you won't find in Branson's homes and properties—expensive artwork. He prefers to buy art he likes—usually watercolors—at reasonable prices.

Branson owns a refurbished houseboat in London. He bought it for $2,600. It can be rented for about $1,000 a week. He has said that he never plans to sell it.

Branson does own a private plane. His Falcon 50EX cost $21 million new. He also drives a Range Rover, but it is gifted to him each year from the manufacturer.

As mentioned Branson is also a big philanthropist. He is a member of the Giving Pledge and has vowed to give away more than half of his fortune in his lifetime. He spends 80% of his time working with Virgin Unite, the charitable arm of the Virgin Group. He has pledged $3 billion over 10 years to develop low carbon fuel and stop or slow climate change.

But Branson's biggest luxury is one many of us can attain—being your own boss.

"If we're talking about personal luxuries — and the luxury of being your own boss — the biggest reward is the amount of time one can find for family and friends."

Norway's Gustav Magnar Witzøe was born into nearly unimaginable wealth as the son of salmon magnate Gustav Witzøe. With a net worth of $3 billion at 25 years old, he's the youngest male billionaire on Earth, and the third-youngest billionaire period. A recent TIME profile on Witzøe reveals that he wasn't content to rest on his salmon empire riches, instead choosing to go into professional modeling.

Witzøe officially came into his wealth in 2013, when his father gifted him nearly half of the shares in his massively successful salmon company SalMar ASA, which is one of the biggest producers of salmon in the world. The gift made him the holder of the largest fortune in Norway (based on capital within the country), but for whatever reason, he's tended to explore other avenues of personal expression outside of the salmon business. For instance, he's amassed a decent following on Instagram, where as of this writing he has more than 64,000 followers, and a genuine professional modeling contract with Team Models in his native Norway. This is in addition to numerous other business ventures, such as his investments in startups like Snapchat alternative Gobi, and Key Butler, marketed towards heavy-use Airbnb landlords.

TERJE MAROY/AFP/Getty Images

Not surprisingly, Witzøe told Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet that he's not really thinking about taking a more active part in the management of SalMar any time soon:

"You can't just demand to be the boss of such a big organization. You have be suited to it. If there are alternatives, the best man or woman must get the job. There is so much at stake: values, jobs, crucial factors."

In that same interview, he says his parents have since had second thoughts since granting him such a large stake in the family business when he was just 19 years old:

"They believe they should have taken more time to think it over. That's due probably to my being shoved out into the public limelight. It was very strange at first. It makes you a bit nervous about what people think." 

Witzøe seems to have adjusted to the limelight since then, though, continuing to pursue his modeling career and his social media following.

Thinking about moving down south for the winter? You could do worse than a place in sunny Florida, and as luck would have it, a residence just opened up. It's Playa Vista Isle, located in the area known as "Millionaires Mile" in Hillsboro Beach, Florida, set to hit the auction block next month, and since it's being sold at no reserve (no minimum bid or reserve price), it's possible that it will go for well under its reported $159 million value.

CNBC reports that at that price, Playa Vista Isle is among the very most expensive homes in the United States, and last year Forbes listed it as one of only 17 homes with an asking price exceeding $100 million.

Playa Vista Isle was finally completed only this year, and its 60,000 square feet has room for 11 bedrooms, 22 bathrooms, and a 20-car garage, all with detailing and architectural elements inspired by the famous Palace of Versailles. Mayi de la Vega is the founder of ONE Sotheby's, one of the auction houses participating in the sale of the property, and she had this to say about its design:

"The thought and attention to detail that has been put into every inch of Playa Vista Isle amazes me every time I see it. The difficulty of replicating this project is one of the many reasons why it's so unique. It's incredibly grand on every scale."

ONE Sotheby's International Realty

There's also, naturally, an infinity pool, itself 4,500 square feet, and six (!!) waterfalls. A wine cellar with individually climate-controlled room for 3,000 bottles has state-of-the-art biometric security features as well as an adjacent tasting room. You're probably used to huge mansions like this having elaborate home theater systems, but Playa Vista Isle manages to distinguish it self there as well, with the world's first private IMAX home theater.

Playa Vista Isle isn't literally an isle, but it does come with 500 feet of oceanfront beach, and two deep-water docks for your yachts, so you're covered should you want (or need) to make any quick ocean getaways. Digital bidding on the mansion begins on November 12th, and in-person bidding commences three days after that. You can take a closer look at the property in the video below:

The New York Knicks waived Joakim Noah earlier this month, officially ending the oft-injured center's time in the Big Apple. After a solid career in Chicago, Noah barely made an impact on the court in New York. He played in just 53 games for the Knicks over parts of two seasons. The team had hoped to trade him or buy out his contract but eventually waived him after those attempts failed.

The Knicks will be able to use the stretch provision on the remaining year of Noah's contract to soften his effect on the salary cap. But that doesn't change the fact that they'll still pay him the full $72 million of his four-year deal.

That means Noah will make $1,358,491 per game he played in New York.

Al Bello/Getty Images

Because of the stretch provision, the Knicks will save $12.9 million towards the salary cap next off season. However, the Knicks will also lose $6.4 million in cap space in 2020 and 2021.

Noah missed time due to a knee injury and received a suspension after taking a banned substance and had been separated from the team since February. He and Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek often butted heads and even had to be physically separated during practice.

The verbal altercation with Hornacek proved to be the final straw. Noah only played in seven games last season, averaging career lows in minutes, points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks.

The New York Post called the Noah deal the worst in franchise history. Between that and Bobby Bonilla's long-term deal with the Mets, it seems like New York is the best place for an aging veteran to sign.

Khabib Nurmagomedov's manager Ali Abdelaziz's job doesn't stop when his client wins another fight – quite the contrary. He's been fielding offers from no less than 50 Cent, who recently floated an offer to get Khabib to move from UFC over to his own Bellator MMA organization for $2 million, an offer that Abdelaziz said in a recent interview with TMZ is "garbage."

It happened at a recent Long Beach Professional Fighter's League event, when Abdelaziz was asked about 50's offer:

"For $2 million, [that won't even] open a Coca-Cola bottle for Khabib. Khabib make a lot of money. We talk about $50 MILLION and up, we can talk. But $2 mil? This is garbage."

That would seem to settle that, and if 50 Cent or any other fight promoters want Khabib to jump ship at UFC it seems they now have a hard and fast number to start out with.

Steven Ryan/Getty Images

Naturally, Abdelaziz also had plenty to say about Khabib's recent UFC rival Conor McGregor. These remarks didn't have anything to do with money, but they may be of interest regardless:

"I'll slap the shit out of Conor. F**k Conor McGregor. Conor's a bitch. He quit in the fight. You cannot tell me Conor McGregor is a man. He is nothing."

Abdelaziz also spoke on the possibility of an upcoming "superfight" in the works between Khabib and Floyd Mayweather. He says that if Mayweather is interested in getting into the world of mixed martial arts, Khabib would be game for such a "superfight" as well. Earlier this year, Mayweather spoke to TMZ on just such a possibility:

"It's all about presenting the right numbers and of course, they gonna present the right numbers and we gonna make it happen."

Fight fans will have to wait and see if that $50 million figure also turns out to be "the right number" for Khabib Numagomedov.

It happens to the best of us. One day you're gainfully employed, showing up every day and doing your job, and the next day, you're collecting unemployment. Chances are you will lose at least one job in your lifetime due to incompetence, mistakes, or a failure of some sort. However, it isn't the end of the world as these 10 millionaires and billionaires have proven. While getting fired can be humiliating, it can also be the stepping-stone you need to greatness. From Steve Jobs to Oprah Winfrey, these 10 people turned their terminations into great wealth and success.

Hillary Clinton
Long before she was the Democratic front-runner for President of the United States, Hillary Clinton was a 22-year-old Wellesley graduate who went on an Alaskan adventure with friends. She picked up a series of dishwashing jobs as she traveled the state and ended up working in a fishery where she scooped out salmon guts. The future Secretary of State didn't last long in that job. She noticed that the salmon were green and black and had a horrible stench and questioned the fishery's manager about it. The next day, she showed up to work and the entire fishery was gone. They had packed up and left town in the middle of the night. Hmmm, sounds fishy… Hillary Clinton has a net worth of $45 million.

Steve Jobs
Of course Steve Jobs' firing from Apple – the company he co-founded – is now infamous. On September 17, 1985 Steve Jobs was fired. He was devastated. After all, Apple was his company. Jobs went on to found the computer company, NeXT and he started Pixar. In 1996, Apple acquired NeXT for $427 million, bringing Jobs back to Apple. His second reign was legendary. He gave the world the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. The late Steve Jobs had a net worth of $10.2 billion.

Carly Fiorina
Carly Fiorina was the first female chief executive of a Fortune 500 company when she was CEO of Hewlett-Packard. In 2002, Fiorina made the controversial decision to buy Compaq for $25 million, which eventually led to the layoff of 15,000 HP employees. After six years as CEO, the Board of Directors fired her in 2005. Today, Fiorina is one of the GOP front-runners for President of the United States. Carly Fiorina has a net worth of $60 million.

Mark Cuban
After he graduated from college, Mark Cuban worked as a software salesman. However, he was more focused on bringing in new business. One day he had the opportunity to make a $15,000 sale – he just needed to get his boss to approve having a co-worker cover his shift. The boss did not agree, but Cuban went through with his plan anyway. When he returned to the office with the $15,000 check, he was fired. That was the last time Mark Cuban ever worked for someone other than himself. Mark Cuban has a net worth of $2.7 billion.

Michael Bloomberg
Former New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg was a partner at the investment bank, Salomon Brothers. In 1998, Travelers Group bought out Salomon Brothers. Bloomberg was let go with the transaction. Luckily, he was given a hefty severance check, which he used to start his own company, Innovative Market Solutions. The company, which he later renamed Bloomberg, L.P., is a financial software, data, and media company. Michael Bloomberg has a net worth of $36.5 billion.

Julia Child
Julia Child was an advertising manager in charge of home furnishings in the early 1930s at W&J Sloane in Los Angeles. After a few months, she was fired for "gross insubordination." Child didn't let that get her down. During World War II she volunteered as a research assistant for a US intelligence agency, moved to Paris, fell in love with French cooking, and enrolled in the prestigious Cordon Bleu culinary academy. Then Child took complicated French cooking and adapted it for average Americans in her classic cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking. After that, she became a television icon with popular cooking shows The French Chef and Julia Child and Company. Julia Child had a net worth of $38 million.

Anna Wintour
Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour started her career in fashion magazines as a junior fashion editor at Harper's Bazaar. She had hip, edgy ideas that didn't sit well with her boss. She was fired after just nine months on the job. Wintour wasn't out of work for long. She landed a job as a fashion editor at Viva on the strength of her edgy ideas. In 1988, she was named editor in chief of Vogue, a position she has held ever since. Anna Wintour has a net worth of $35 million.

Jerry Seinfeld
Jerry Seinfeld was a struggling stand up comedian trying to break into TV in the early 1980s. Years before he hit the big time with Seinfeld, Jerry had a small role on Benson. After he'd shot four episodes of the sitcom, his role was eliminated. However, no one bothered to tell Seinfeld that he had been fired. He found out when he showed up for a read-through of the script and saw he had been cut from the cast. He was humiliated, but got right back to performing in comedy clubs. A talent scout for the Tonight Show was in the audience one night soon after, loved his act, and Seinfeld landed a gig on the show. His career took off immediately after appearing on the Tonight Show. Jerry Seinfeld has a net worth of $800 million.

Oprah Winfrey
Oprah Winfrey was working as an evening news reporter for WJZ-TV in Baltimore when she was fired because she became too emotionally invested in her stories. Reportedly, a producer at the station told Winfrey that she was unfit for television news. That all worked out just fine for her in the end, as that same producer offered her an alternative: be a part of the daytime TV show People Are Talking. Winfrey was on that show for eight years. Of course she eventually went on to be the host of The Oprah Winfrey Show, which ran for 25 seasons. Oprah Winfrey has a net worth of $3 billion.

Lee Iacocca
Lee Iacocca was President of Ford Motor Company, and the man who spearheaded the introduction of both the Ford Mustang and the Pinto (among other vehicles). However, he clashed with then CEO Henry Ford Jr. and after a slew of unused ideas, Iacocca was fired. Chrysler snapped him up and under Iacocca's leadership, saw a resurgence of the brand and record profits in the 1980s and 90s. Several of his unused ideas from Ford were embraced by Chrysler, including the introduction of the Dodge Caravan. Lee Iacocca has a net worth of $100 million.

It really hasn't been all that long since Jessica Simpson was sashaying around MTV in her daisy dukes wondering if Chicken of the Sea was chicken or tuna, but my what a long way she has come! Over the years Jessica has taken a lot of flak from the media for everything from thinking Buffalo wings were made of buffalo, to her weight, to her sense of style. But it is Simpson is getting the last laugh. This former pop princess currently presides over a fashion empire that has generated over $1 billion in revenue.

A decade ago, Jessica's fashion empire began with a simple shoe line. Today the empire includes hats, bags, clothing, and fragrances. Simpson and her mom approve every single last item that will bear Jessica's name. It is a dizzying amount of product that sells more than $1 billion annually. To put that in perspective, that means Jessica Simpson is selling more product than Michael Kors. Along the way, Jessica has managed to stash away a personal net worth of $200 million, the bulk of which comes from her fashion business, not from singing and acting. Here's how she did it all…

We first became acquainted with Simpson when she shot to fame as a teen pop star nearly 15 years ago. Born in Abilene, Texas in 1980, Simpson is the daughter of a minister. She grew up fully immersed in the ways and culture of the Bible Belt. Simpson started recording gospel albums when she was 14 after someone connected to the music industry had been impressed by a performance she gave at Bible camp. She was a virgin from Texas and famously pledged that she'd remain so until she was married.

In 1999, her debut single, "I Wanna Love You Forever" made the then-19 year old famous. Her debut album "Sweet Kisses" sold over four million copies worldwide. Simpson, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera dominated the airwaves alongside boy bands like The Backsteet Boys, NSYNC, and 98 Degrees.

In 2002, Simpson married one of the members of one of those boy bands, 98 Degrees' Nick Lachey. They documented their newlywed days in a reality show on MTV. Jessica came across as lovably clueless, talking about farting, demonstrating her ability to belch the alphabet, and wondering how chickens managed to live in the sea.

Simpson and Lachey split up in 2005. The tabloids went nuts exploiting Simpson's pop culture appeal as she dated a number of famous men including Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo and fellow musician John Mayer (who infamously referred to his relationship with Simpson as "sexual napalm"). Then Simpson's weight started to fluctuate. Petite and curvy, it didn't take much for Simpson to gain more weight than the media deems acceptable for famous women.

With all of this going on, it wouldn't be unusual for Simpson to lose focus. She didn't. While all the attention was on her love life and weight, Simpson was working quietly behind the scenes building Jessica Simpson the Brand.

Simpson started with shoes. A decade ago she launched a shoe collaboration with Nine West founder Vince Camuto. She wanted to sell shoes like she wore. The shoes sold like hotcakes and continue to do so. So Simpson kept branching out. She did hats. She did clothing—everything from party dresses to career separates to coats. She sells accessories and fragrances. Simpson doesn't market just to young women either. Her style and brand appeal to women of all ages. She will dress your grandmother in jeggings and put 5-inch platform heels on your 45-year-old aunt. She believes women should dress in what they feel good in.

Simpson's line is remarkably wearable. She peddles the kind of dresses that look just as good on a college co-ed as they do on a 35-year old career woman. Her line is stylish and on trend and classy. It is priced reasonably And this is why it succeeds and why Jessica Simpson is presiding over a billion-dollar fashion business today.

As a rule, celebrity clothing lines fail more often than they succeed. Sarah Jessica Parker's Bitten line got tons of press and was much anticipated but it failed quickly. Lindsay Lohan's line of leggings also failed rather spectacularly. Others that succeed, like Victoria Beckham's line of tiny dresses, are insanely expensive and marketed towards, well, towards Beckham's friends, not your average woman in Nebraska. Simpson's line not only succeeds, it fills that void. She's never been about being snobby or too good for the masses—one episode of her old MTV show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica will tell you that. At the end of the day, a woman can go to the mall and buy a Jessica Simpson outfit and still have money left over for lunch with her friends at Applebee's.

Simpson's straightforward approach to her fashion line is a lot like how she handles life. She's real and down to earth despite how the media has dogged her and tried to embarrass her. It's a formula that works for her.

This past summer, Simpson, now 34, married her long time fiancé 35-year old former NFL player Eric Johnson. She's got it all. Love, two children with her husband, a successful fashion empire. She's no longer Jessica Simpson, pop star. She's Jessica Simpson, fashion mogul.

On Wednesday morning, the world learned that Saul "Canelo" Alvarez had signed a 5-year $365 million contract with newly-launched subscription sports streaming company DAZN. The contract will cover Canelo's next 11 fights starting with his December 15 match against Rocky Fielding at Madison Square Garden.

It's a huge deal. Literally and figuartively.

A $365 million, 5-year deal is enough to be make Canelo the highest paid athlete in the world. Not only is it the largest contract in terms of total dollars, it also destroys the previous records in terms of earnings per year. The previous record holder for total dollars was baseball player Giancarlo Stanton who signed a 13-year $325 million contract with the Miami Marlins back in 2014.

In terms of earnings per year, it's hard to know exactly who had the previous record because many of the soccer stars you know of like Ronaldo and Messi have deals that are complicated and not totally confirmed. However, for your reference in July 2018 LeBron James signed a 4-year, $153 million deal with the Lakers. That breaks down to $38 million per contract year. Canelo's deal will essentially pay him $73 million per year over the next 5 years.

Not only is he now officially the highest paid athlete on the planet, when you include endorsements, by the time his contract is up Canelo's career earnings will top $600 million. After today's news, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez's net worth is $100 million.

I'm sure Canelo and his entire team at Oscar De La Hoya promotions is extremely happy right now. Heck, I'm super happy to see a badass fellow redhead crushing the game.

You know who isn't happy for Canelo? Floyd Mayweather.

Despite being "retired" from boxing, Floyd is clearly not retired from smack-talking.

Earlier today Floyd took to instagram where he posted a photo very similar to this one (we don't have the rights to show the actual photo):

Ethan Miller/Getty Images

And here's the caption Floyd added to his photo:

"It didn't matter if Canelo ate his PED steak or not this night, this was by far the easiest fight of my career! Connor McQuitter was a way better fighter than Canelo's cheating ass and I beat the brakes off him too! It takes me 36 mins or less to make $300 million plus. It literally takes me 1 night and 1 fight to make what you might make in 5 years and 11 fights! So really, who's still winning? You do the math!"

The "PED steak" comment is a reference to the fact that in April 2018, Canelo was suspended from boxing for 6 months for doping violations. He would later claim that contaminated beef in Mexico was the source of the banned performance-enhancing drug that reportedly showed up in one of his tests.

The rest of the comment is pretty self-explanatory. Floyd did indeed earn $300 million from his August 2017 fight against Conor McGregor. Though, technically speaking, $300 million is less than $365 million. But we're nitpicking.

As of this writing, Floyd Mayweather's career earnings top $1.1 billion. And he's talking about coming out of retirement to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov, who just defeated Conor McGregor in a UFC match. Floyd has indicated he'd be willing to take on Khabib and would earn north of $200 million if that fight actually happened.

And Floyd wasn't quite done social media smack-talking. Just a few hours after his Canelo post, Floyd put up a rather embarrassing message aimed at another former opponent, Oscar De La Hoya. Before I show you the post, let me give some background –

Canelo fights for Oscar's "Goldenboy Promotions". He is Oscar's biggest star. Back in 2007, photos surfaced of Oscar De La Hoya wearing fishnets and women's lingerie. The photos are rough. Especially for the image of a proud Mexican fighter in such testosterone-driven industry. He denied the photos were him for nearly a decade, claiming they were a photoshop. They weren't. He finally admitted the photos were him and that they were taken by a girlfriend named Milana Dravnel.

Back to Floyd's post. Here's the text from the post:

"11yrs ago,I fought her and her name is Oscar "Golden Girl" Dela Hoya. Please leave the most disrespectful caption you can think of."

And here's the photo:

Dolly Parton is a national treasure. She is indubitably one of the all-time biggest stars of country music and one of the best-selling recording artists in history. But it isn't just country music fans that love Dolly. She is embraced by many for her down-home, sweet, and welcoming manner. As of this writing, Parton has sold more than 177 million records. Twenty-five of her songs and/or albums have been certified as Gold, Platinum, or Multi-Platinum. She's won eight Grammys and been nominated for two Academy Awards, five Golden Globes, and an Emmy. She's written and composed more than 3,000 songs and has had more than 110 chart singles.  Some of the country legend's best known songs include "I Will Always Love You" (made famous by Whitney Houston), "9 to 5", "Jolene", "Coat of Many Colors", and "My Tennessee Mountain Home". She's also an actress who has starred in "9 to 5", "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas", "Steel Magnolias", "Gnomeo and Juliet", "Straight Talk", "Unlikely Angel", and "Joyful Noise".  Oh, and she has her own theme park, Dollywood, that annually welcomes more than three million visitors.

Dolly Parton, she of the trashy clothes, stripper shoes, big hair, and even bigger chest, is an incredibly astute businesswoman. In addition to the theme park, she also owns a radio station, restaurants, as well as record and TV companies. Dolly started her own literacy program and distributes 2.5 million free books to children every year.  But on the rare weekend when she isn't brokering a business deal, writing a chart topping song, singing in concert, or acting in a film, Dolly likes to head out on the road with her husband of 48 years in their R.V.

Oh, and Dolly Parton has a personal net worth of $500 million. Here's how she did it…

Dolly Parton/ David Becker/Getty Images

Dolly Rebecca Parton was born on January 19, 1946 in Locust Ridge, Tennessee. She was one of 12 children in a family so poor that Dolly's father paid the doctor who delivered her with a sack of oatmeal.  The family, all 13 of them (one of her brothers died just five days after being born), lived in a single room cabin in the Appalachia region. Dolly sang about her family's poverty in her songs "Coat of Many Colors" and "In the Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad)." Music was an important part of Dolly's life from a young age. Her grandfather was a Pentecostal "Holy Roller" minister; so many of Dolly's early performances were in church alongside her very musical family.  Her first dream was to appear on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry.

Parton's angelic voice and beauty got her noticed as a child and she began performing on local television and radio shows in Eastern Tennessee. She got her first guitar at the age of eight. When she was 10, she began appearing on "The Cas Walker Show" on WIVK Radio and WBIR TV in Knoxville, Tennessee. When Dolly was 14, she recorded the single "Puppy Love" on Goldband Records, a small Louisiana record label. That same year, Parton appeared at the Grand Ole Opry. She met Johnny Cash (for the first time) and he encouraged her to follow her instincts when it came to her career.

Dolly took him seriously and on the day after she graduated from high school in 1964, she packed her bags and moved to Nashville. On her first day in Nashville she met Carl Dean. Two years later they were married, they remain married to this day.

Parton quickly found success in Nashville, but not as a performer. She signed with Combine Publishing and, alongside her uncle Bill Owens, wrote a number of singles that hit the charts—including two top ten hits—Bill Phillips's 1966 song "Put it off Until Tomorrow" and Skeeter Davis's 1967 hit "Fuel to the Flame." Dolly's songs were recorded by a number of artists, including Hank Williams Jr.  In late 1965, at just 19-years old, Parton signed with Monument Records. The label wanted her to be a bubblegum pop singer, despite her desire to record country songs.  After "Put It Off Until Tomorrow" hit number six on the country music chart in 1966, the label relented. Her first country single, "Dumb Blonde" hit No. 24 on the country music chart in 1967, and her second, "Something Fishy" hit No. 17. Dolly was on her way. Dolly's first full studio album "Hello, I'm Dolly" was released in February 1967.

Of course Dolly is nearly as famous for her outsized curves as she is for her voice. You can imagine when she showed up in Nashville as a teenager with big dreams, a bigger voices, and even bigger…assets, how men perceived her. Fortunately Dolly, having grown up around lots of men with her father, brothers, and uncles—knew how to handle herself – and them.  She was surely pursued around a desk or two in her day, but she knew how to diffuse a situation without hurting a man's pride. Dolly has always taken empowerment from feeling pretty and sexy and has used her looks and body to her advantage. She took control of the narrative about her famous curves, rather than letting the media control it for her.

In 1967, Parton's singing career started taking off, especially after she started appearing and performing on "The Porter Wagoner Show." The first time she went to Nashville's Studio A to record with Wagoner, Parton was driving her first brand new car. She didn't know how to drive and she drove right through the wall of the studio. Because she was running late, she left her car there, locked up, as if it were a normal parking place.  When the recording session ended the car was discovered and Dolly had to admit she did it.

Parton and Wagoner recorded a number of country hits together, and Dolly's association with Wagoner helped her land a recording contract with RCA Records.  Dolly had her first No. 1 country hit in 1971 with "Joshua." More hits would follow soon, including 1973's "Jolene" and 1974's "I Will Always Love You" – a song that became a signature for both Dolly and Whitney Houston. Dolly Parton won the Country Music Award for female vocalist in 1975 and 1976. Parton had her first cross-over hit with the song "Here You Come Again." The song reached the top of both the country and pop charts and she won her first Grammy Award for this tune.

The 1980s were very, very good to Dolly Parton. She starred in and contributed to the soundtrack for the hit film "9 to 5." The song was yet another number one hit and it also earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song. In 1982, she starred in "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" and the movie featured her song "I Will Always Love You." In 1983, Parton had a huge hit with her duet with Kenny Rogers, "Islands in the Stream."

In 1986, Dolly launched her theme park Dollywood. It is located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and, with over 3 million guests per year; it is the biggest ticketed tourist attraction in Tennessee. Dollywood features standard amusement park rides alongside traditional crafts and music of the Smoky Mountains region.  The park has a number of concerts every year, including appearances by Parton. The complex has a waterpark, Dollywood's Splash Country as well as Dollywood's DreamMore Resort on its 290 acres.

The late 80s-mid 90s marked a return to Dolly's country roots. "Trio," released in 1987, featured Dolly alongside Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt, and spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Country Albums chart, as well as producing Top 10 country hits including "To Know Him Is to Love Him," which hit No. 1.

Dolly Parton has been a prolific song writer over her career, but no song has done more for her (or made her more money) than "I Will Always Love You." It is her signature song. Before Whitney Houston introduced this song to a new generation, Elvis Presley was planning to record it. In fact, he had his composition of the song all worked up and Dolly told everybody he was going to record it. She spent time in the studio with Elvis and the night before the Elvis version of "I Will Always Love You" was to be recorded, Elvis's manger, Colonel Tom Parker called Parton and told her that Elvis didn't do anything that he didn't own the publishing rights to. Well, Dolly couldn't part with those rights, as it was (and arguably still IS) her most important song. In the end, Elvis didn't do the song, and as Dolly revealed in an interview for the Foo Fighter's HBO series "Sonic Highways," Elvis not recording "I Will Always Love You" broke her heart. However it also led Parton to realize how serious she was about her songwriting career. She stood her ground and it worked out well in the end. In 1992, Dolly would have the last laugh. Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You" from the film "The Bodyguard" became one of the biggest hits of ALL TIME. Dolly has made tens of millions off Houston's version of Dolly's signature song alone.

In 1995, Dolly would again revisit "I Will Always Love You." She recorded it as a duet with Vince Gill and the song one the Country Music Association's Vocal Event of the Year Award.

Parton has set herself aside from her country music peers with her progressive views on gay rights and gender equality.  She earned a second Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song for "Travelin' Thru," a song she wrote for the 2005 film "Transamerica.  The song's uncritical acceptance of a transgender woman garnered Parton death threats. Parton has remained a strong supporter of the LGBQT community through the years.

The 68-year old singer and actress is celebrating 50 years since she first came to Nashville this year and she has things to say to her Christian fans.  Specifically, the icon for the gay community, is calling out those who are intolerant of the LGBT community.

"They know that I completely love and accept them, as I do all people. I've struggled enough in my life to be appreciated and understood. I've had to go against all kinds of people through the years just to be myself", Parton told Billboard magazine.

"I think everybody should be allowed to be who they are, and to love who they love. I don't think we should be judgmental. Lord, I've got enough problems of my own to pass judgment on somebody else", she said.

Earlier this year, Parton was vocal about her support of gay marriage, joking that "they should suffer just like us heterosexuals."

"I didn't know any gay people in my childhood. I do have a lot of gays in my family now, but some will never come out", the singer said in an April interview.

In 2006, Parton was one of five artists celebrated at the annual Kennedy Center Honors.

2014 is the year she got to live out one of her dreams. She headlined the main stage at the Glastonbury Festival in England. She headlined the Sunday night stage and drew a bigger crowd than Friday and Saturday's headliners Arcade Fire and Metallica. She was joined onstage by Bon Jovi's Richie Sambora. Many in the audience of 170,000 were dressed in Dolly wigs with fake balloon bosoms.  Dolly Parton, country legend, was nervous that the crowd wouldn't know her, that the crowd was a little too rock n' roll for her.  She told Billboard magazine:

"Oh, I hope they like me. I hope that everybody's right that this is a good thing to do. And then I heard them say my name, "Dolly! Dolly! Dolly!" and I thought, "I guess they do know who I am."

Dolly Parton has proven herself to be a force to be reckoned with. Long before women had found their voice and their power in the music industry, she was determinedly forging her own way and her own style.  Of her ultra-feminine, fairly trashy style, Dolly famously remarked:

"It takes a lot of money to look this cheap."

When it comes down to it, the woman famous for her wigs and her chest and her voice is just a normal woman who loves to read, cook, and ride around in her RV with her husband of 48 years. She just happens to have own an massive business empire and is worth $500 million.  Despite all the talk about her famously augmented chest (she calls them her show dogs), Parton has made her fortune and become beloved by her fans with the two biggest assets she has – her brains and her voice.

When it comes to celebrity siblings, the Mara sisters are all the rage at the moment. Rooney Mara and Kate Mara have multiple film and television credits to their names, and show no signs of slowing down. Kate, who is two years older than Rooney, launched her career first. Rooney's first acting gigs were extra roles in her sister's projects. Rooney began pursuing acting in college and now the two of them have become Hollywood darlings. Both women are making a name for themselves on the international film scene, but it turns out, the Mara name and fortune have been around for some time. In fact, the Mara family is NFL royalty. However, that's not all. Rooney Mara, whose full name is Patricia Rooney Mara, and Kate, whose full name is Kate Rooney Mara, are also part of the Rooney family. For those of you who don't know, the Rooney family is an NFL dynasty. Kate received an Emmy nomination, and Rooney received an Oscar nomination, both amazing achievements. However, in their very wealthy family, it would seem that winning at least one Super Bowl is the primary barometer for success. The sisters are worth a combined $26 million on their own, but their family's sports empires are worth north of $3 billion.

The Mara family fortune all began with Tim Mara. He was born into an impoverished Irish family living in New York City's Lower East Side in 1887. He later dropped out of school, at 13, to go to work full time. He eventually found work as a bookie, and became quite successful. In 1925, the President of the NFL, Joseph Carr, found himself unable to find someone to helm a New York NFL team. College football was hugely popular, but audiences seemed relatively uninterested  in professional football. Through a mutual friend, Carr was introduced to Tim Mara. After some discussion, Mara purchased New York's NFL franchise for $500. (Approximately $12,500 in today's money.) Attendance was dismal at first, and Mara lost $40,000 in the first few years. However, he had the brilliant idea to play his team against former college favorite Red Grange, who had signed with the Chicago Bears pro football team. The game was a massive success and earned him $143,000 in receipts. It was only up from there.

Mara's New York Giants became total powerhouses.  They almost single-handedly ran the American Football League, launched in 1926, out of business. The team raised over $150,000 during the Great Depression through charity games, and Mara managed to outlast, buy out, or merge with just about every other football team that tried to get a foothold in New York. He passed away in 1959, and was posthumously recognized with charter membership in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1963. The Giants are still owned by the Mara family. The team passed from Tim Mara, to his sons Wellington and John "Jack" Mara. Jack was the team President for 24 years. He passed away in 1965. Wellington Mara served as co-owner, President, and CEO until his death in 2005. Timothy Mara, the son of Jack Mara, was a co-owner of the team until his death in 1995. John Mara, Wellington's son, is now the President, CEO, and co-owner (with Steve Tisch) of the Giants. Timothy Christopher Mara, Kate and Rooney's father, is now a scout and Vice President of Player Evaluation for the Giants.

The Rooney family fortune began with Arthur Joseph "Art" Rooney, Sr., who was born in 1901 in the Pittsburgh area. He excelled in sports throughout his school years and went on to win the AAU welterweight belt in 1918. He played Minor League Baseball and led the league in games, runs, and steals in 1925. He also played halfback for a couple of semi-pro football teams. In 1933, he paid $2,500 to form an NFL team in Pittsburgh. Originally called the Pittsburgh Pirates, just like the baseball team, the football franchise went through many ups and downs. They were renamed the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1941, and Rooney became President, as well as owner, at the end of World War II.  He saw the team through rough times, and they finally hit their stride in the 70s after the AFL-NFL merger. They went on to win several Super Bowls through the late 70s. He then passed operations to his son Dan Rooney. Art Rooney, Sr. was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1964, and passed away in 1988. He was considered by many to be the heart of Pittsburgh, and more politically and socially influential than the majority of the city's politicians. Dan Rooney is the current chairman of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and served as the US Ambassador to Ireland from 2009 to 2012. His four brothers also serve on the Board of Directors for the Steelers. Art Rooney II, the oldest son of Dan Rooney, is now current President of the Steelers. Kathleen McNulty Rooney, one of Art Rooney II's siblings, married Timothy Christopher Mara. She is the mother of Kate and Rooney.

If you're confused, it's okay. Both families have a tendency to name their children after the previous generation, so trying to keep track can be a head-scratcher. It must be hard for the sisters to know which football team to cheer for each season. Either way, Kate Mara and Rooney Mara are wealthy, wealthy ladies. If the acting thing doesn't work out, they can always go the route of Paris Hilton and the Kardashians, and just not really… do… anything. With their family fortune, they'll probably be just fine.
