The Hollywood Hills home of Demi Lovato has become subject to several different strands of bad luck as of late, and TMZ reports they seem to be converging to create difficulties for the artist in her attempts to sell it. That's despite its primo location just above the famous Chateau Marmont, and by all accounts gorgeous views of both Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean.

Lovato paid $8.3 million for the house back in 2016, investing another $800,000 in "improvements" that are costing her even more money now. She first listed the house a couple months back at $9,495,000, but since then has had to reduce it to $8,995,000, thanks in part to a few minor issues with the property. First, one of those improvements I mentioned earlier consisted of converting the home's garage into a combination "glam room," wardrobe room, and space for onsite security, and now the property has no covered parking at all. Then, there's a security gate that was installed after Lovato moved in that inadvertently juts into public property (TMZ says that there's a city streetlight within the gate), which will have to be fixed either by her or whoever ends up buying the place.

As if those weren't enough problems, there was also a major landslide recently described as having been "right next door" to Lovato's new house. It's reportedly stabilized for now but will remain potentially dangerous until the city of Los Angeles takes the appropriate measures to shore up the hillside to try to prevent additional landslides.

The home is where Lovato's scary, life-threatening overdose happened about three months back, but it's clear that it has plenty of more pressing real estate issues on top of that. You can take a closer look at the 5,564 square-foot, four bedroom, six bathroom estate for yourself in the video below.

Weed is big business for the places where it is legal. Washington, Colorado, Nevada, California, and other places are bringing in big money in taxes and other fees after legalizing marijuana. The entire country of Canada just made pot legal and they are about to find out how lucrative that can be, though a handful of people are already cashing in big time.

A recent surge in the share prices of companies that grow cannabis have made millionaires and billionaires out of cannabis investors. Brendan Kelly, Michael Blue, and Christian Groh invested in Seattle-based Privateer Holdings Inc. in May 2010. That firm later invested in the Canadian cannabis company Tilray Inc., which has seen its shares skyrocket 13 fold since it made its IPO in July. The valuation of the stake held by the trio is $7.2 billion, or $2.4 billion each.

The men (and thus far they are all men) who run Canada's pot companies aren't doing too shabby themselves. Let's take a look at the men who have become very wealthy thanks to their bet on Canada's marijuana legalization.

Terry Booth
Aurora Cannabis, Inc.
Value of Stake: $95.1 million
Terry Booth is the 54-year old CEO of Aurora Cannabis, Inc. He used to sell marijuana to his friends in high school for $25 CAD per quarter ounce. Earlier in 2018, his company pulled off the largest takeover in the industry when it bought CanniMed Therapeutics for $1.23 billion CAD.

Bruce Linton
Canopy Growth Corp.
Value of Stake: $142.6 million
Bruce Linton is the 52-year-old CEO of Canopy Growth Corp., one of the largest pot companies in the world. The company is located in a former Hershey's chocolate factory in Smith Falls, Ontario.

John Cervini
Aphria, Inc.
Value of Stake: $144 million
John Cervini founded Ontario based Aphria after leaving his family's greenhouse business that sold tomatoes and peppers. He and his friend Cole Cacciavillani had a hunch about marijuana as a potentially profitable crop, but neither had any experience growing the plant. Aphria was one of the first publicly traded marijuana growers.

Steve Ballmer has made a reputation for being energetic, enthusiastic, and constantly looking forward. Clippers fans can find him courtside during games, a ball of energy on the sideline. That same mindset has served Ballmer well during his business career – and he believes it carries over to his NBA team.

Ballmer thinks the Clippers are worth more than $3 billion right now. He purchased the team for $2 billion in May of 2014. If Ballmer's estimates are correct, that's an increase of $1 billion – more than 50 percent – in just five years.

In an interview with NBC's Claire Atkinson, Ballmer said, "My guess is, if I looked to sell the team now, the first number would be a three."

Michael Cohen/Getty Images

Last season was the first time the Clippers missed the playoffs since Ballmer bought the team. And now, all of Lob City is gone. Chris Paul is in Houston, Blake Griffin is in Detroit, and DeAndre Jordan signed with the Dallas Mavericks.

But that hasn't stopped Ballmer from setting his sights high. NBA franchise values, in general, continue to rise, and there's still lucrative potential in L.A. – even if LeBron and the Baby Lakers are stealing the headlines.

The Clippers are also in talks to build a new arena in Inglewood. A fancy home that the team could call its own would certainly add to the Clippers' value.

Of course, this is all hypothetical at this point. Ballmer hasn't expressed a desire to sell the team anytime soon. And why should he? As long as the NBA is thriving, Ballmer can make a huge return on his investment.

Stop. Collaborate, and listen. Vanilla Ice's 1990 hit "Ice, Ice Baby" might be dismissed as a joke today, but don't be fooled. The royalties and lifestyle that one song has built for Vanilla Ice are no laughing matter. That one song has somehow enabled Vanilla to have a fairly active and relevant entertainment career today, nearly 30 years after the song was released. Furthermore, that one little bitty song is still EXTREMELY lucrative for the rapper/actor/TV host. Ice, whose legal name Rob Van Winkle, is in the midst of divorce proceedings from his wife of 21 years, Laura Van Winkle. Documents filed in their case recently exposed some fascinating insights into assets and current financial standings of Mr. Ice. These two revelations are particularly amazing:

Revelation #1: Vanilla Ice is worth a minimum $10 million. And that number might be much higher depending on the valuations of Ice's surprisingly impressive real estate portfolio. (More on that in a bit)…

Revelation #2: Vanilla Ice still dependably earns around $800,000 a year today, and more than half of that income is royalties connected to "Ice, Ice Baby".

Let that sink in. Let's be conservative and just say half of that $800,000 is from royalties. That's $400,000 per year, from "Ice, Ice Baby", 28 years after the song was released. Incredible!

And you know what's really really crazy? As you may recall, "Ice, Ice Baby" famously sampled (without permission) the Queen and David Bowie song "Under Pressure". That means Queen and David Bowie's estate are getting a cut of all royalties. So if Vanilla is earning $400k per year in royalties, that's AFTER everyone got their cut. So the overall cut must be huge!

Perhaps that's less shocking when you recall that "Baby Got Back" earns Sir Mix-A-Lot around $500,000 per year. And Diddy's song "I'll Be Missing You" earns Sting around $750,000 per year.

The couple's divorce proceedings are scheduled to be finalized in court in February, but in the meantime, Ice was ordered to pay his ex $10,000 a month in "temporary support," plus another $110,000 for missing payments over the last 11 months (Laura first filed for divorce in 2016). He's also on the hook for Laura's legal fees, to the tune of almost $155,000. Finally, he's on the hook for another $7,191 a month to pay for Laura's household expenses.

Ice's financial disclosures reveal that he can afford to pay that and then some without too much discomfort. He's said to own 15 real estate properties worth a minimum of $5 million. Potentially as much as $10 million. He also owns eight vehicles, a boat, and other odds and ends in addition to his substantial liquid assets. And he's not hard up for work, either, having served as the host of the DIY Network program The Vanilla Ice Project since 2009.

Before his career comeback, Vanilla Ice was effectively bankrupt following his meteoric success in the early 1990s. And in a press interview from a couple years ago when she first decided to file for divorce, Laura Van Winkle said her assistance in making that unlikely comeback possible wasn't being appreciated:

"Without me, he wouldn't have a comeback. Now he left me with no money. I mean, he was always a good provider and all, but all of our assets are in his name. He wants to control all the money."

Some kind of mutually tolerable financial arrangement will hopefully be reached by the pair in February of next year, so stay tuned.

Univision billionaire Jerry Perenchio passed away in May 2017 at age 86 and left behind not just his $2.7 billion fortune, but a sizable estate in Los Angeles' Bel-Air neighborhood that is currently listed for $245 million, the most expensive price ever for a home in the United States. Perenchio owned the enormous acre Chartwell Estate, which includes its own 1.41 acre (0.57 hectare) vineyard, which can be yours for the relatively bargain price of $20 million.

Perenchio was an avid wine collector. Last year, his large collection of mature French wines from Bordeaux and Burgundy sold at auction for $12 million. The proceeds went to his family foundation.

The vineyard section of Chartwell has been listed separately from the mansion and its grounds. To compare this Southern California vineyard to the celebrated regions of France – a cost of one hectare of a grand cru vineyard in the Cote d'Or region of Burgundy cost $15.8 million in 2017. Based on that price, 0.57 hectare– the size of Perenchio's vineyard – would be roughly $8 million. Perenchio's vineyard is listed $12 million more than the average asking price of the best wine growing land in France.

Perhaps the inflated price is due to the hillside land's unique history. A home used to sit on the property that belonged to the Mamas and the Papas' John and Michelle Phillips. They rented it out to Sly Stallone and many parties were thrown there in the 1960s and 1970s. The home on the property has long since been demolished to make way for Perenchio's vineyard.

Chartwell itself is a neoclassical estate on 10 acres in the heart of Bel Air. The property has panoramic views from the Pacific Ocean to downtown Los Angeles. The estate has a 75-foot pool with pool house, 12,000 bottle wine cellar, tennis court, parking for 40 cars, and manicured gardens reminiscent of a French chateau. Perenchio purchased Chartwell in 2006 for $15 million.

You may recognize the exterior of Chartwell from the vintage TV series The Beverly Hillbillies.

Kobe Bryant hasn't played in the NBA in more than two and a half years, but he's still making waves. Alongside Houston Rockets guard James Harden and a host of other athletes, Bryant announced the founding of "The Art of Sport." The body care product line targets athletes across all sports.

Bryant announced the brand in a tweet, citing his mentality to "always rise and compete." He believes the products will "help athletes feel and perform their best through performance-driven body care."

The product line features several standard skincare products, like deodorants, antiperspirants, and body wash. It also includes products specifically created to improve both athlete performance and hygiene.

Scott Halleran/Getty Images

Other athletes involved include the Chicago Cubs' Javy Baez; top surfer Sage Erickson; motocross world champion Ken Roczen; skateboarder Ryan Sheckler; and Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Juju Smith-Schuster.

This isn't Bryant's first athlete-focused business move. In 2014, he invested in BodyArmor Sports Drink, which focuses on hydration and nutrition for athletes. The company markets itself as a healthier alternative to Gatorade, which is high in sugar.

Over the course of those four years, Bryant invested about $6 million of his own money into BodyArmor. Eventually, he acquired a 10 percent stake in the company.

When Bryant first invested, BodyArmor had annual sales of about $10 million. This year, they're projected to surpass $400 million in total sales.

Bryant is part of the reason for the uptick, for sure, but earlier this year, BodyArmor received some exciting news: Coca-Cola was purchasing a minority stake in the company. The stake valued BodyArmor at $2 billion, which means Bryant's stake is worth around $200 million today. A 30x multiple on the initial investment. Safe to say that's a good move.

Bryant is hoping The Art of Sport sees similar traction in the marketplace. Either way, between his major investments and winning an Oscar for his "Dear Basketball" short, 2018 has been very kind to Bryant.

If his playing days are any indication, we don't expect him to slow down anytime soon.

Bryce Harper is still just 26 years old and in the prime of his career. Naturally, he's going to command a massive salary this offseason. It wouldn't be surprising to see him earn a deal worth more than a quarter-billion dollars. Of course, how much Harper will make is just one question. Another major one: where exactly will he end up?

To answer that, Harper is… picking up a PlayStation controller.

Harper tweeted that he's the cover athlete of MLB The Show 19. And though his jersey is noticeably blank on the cover, it appears he's using the game to help promote his contract negotiations.

Honored to be selected as the #PlayStationAmbassador for #TheShow19 cover! Follow @MLBTheShow this offseason to see what uniform I will be wearing on the final cover! pic.twitter.com/31kf0Yel19

— Bryce Harper (@Bharper3407) November 2, 2018

Harper will likely reject the one-year, $17.9 million qualifying offer the Washington Nationals offered him. The Nationals know that, but they also know they probably won't be able to keep their star player. By offering the qualifying offer, the Nationals can at least receive a draft pick if Harper signs elsewhere.

Sony and SIE San Diego Studio (the developer of MLB The Show) may have taken a page from the NBA 2K series. Last year, the Cavs traded NBA 2K18 cover star Kyrie Irving to the Celtics less than a month before the game's release. Though Irving's jersey was correct when the game was actually in stores, there were plenty of ads featuring Irving in his old Cavs jersey.

This year, 2K Sports chose to include a headshot of LeBron James as its cover athlete. James switched teams when he signed with the Los Angeles Lakers this summer, so the move paid off for 2K Sports.

As of now, it looks like the Cubs and Phillies are the frontrunners to land Harper. He could potentially stay in Washington, as well, though the Nationals are more of a dark horse pick. But it's still anyone's guess – and it could lead to millions of extra dollars for both Harper and Sony.

It turns out that in the world of cryptocurrency, nothing is certain. Even with the celebrity endorsement power of TI, a new cryptocurrency to hit the market can crash and burn, which is exactly what happened to FLiK Token, launched in August of 2017 by TI and Atlanta area businessman Ryan Felton. Now, TMZ reports that the creators of FLiK are being sued by about two dozen angry investors who say they were mislead about its potential for growth, and that investing in it has left them more or less broke.

The plaintiffs are suing for some $5 million in damages, saying that they lost $2 million in investments in FLiK after Felton made big claims about the token's future value, as well as other big names that were supposed to be getting involved in it. For instance, the disgruntled FLiK investors say Felton "insinuated" that none other than Mark Cuban would soon be getting involved with FLiK's operations, something that never happened.

Even more important are probably Felton's claims about how much FLiK Token's value would increase in a short period of time. At launch, it was worth a reported six cents per token, but Felton promised investors that it would be up around $14.99 per token after 15 months – which, suffice it to say, never happened either. Instead, after an initial increase of six cents to 21 cents, the tokens completely cratered, and as of August of this year (a year after it was launched), it was worth less than one cent each. So, it's clear to see why the investors feel they were misled and are taking legal action to try and recoup their losses, and then some.

Another celebrity involved in FLiK Token was comedian Kevin Hart, who posted a tweet to his official account promoting the cryptocurrency and congratulating TI on the launch. He is not named in the lawsuit, however.

Back in May of 2015, we told you about an ambitious construction project spearheaded by former Hollywood exec Nile Niami. Niami's history is in film production, and his idea for a massive mansion in Bel Air in some ways has more in common with a super-blockbuster than a typical house: A $500 million mansion that will measure in at a whopping 100,000 square feet. The mansion was originally supposed to be done after about 20 months, but now it's still being constructed, and a virtual tour of the property that is now known as "The One" has been released online.

Contrary to its name, The One will actually be made up of four separate structures. There's the massive 74,000 square foot main house, plus three smaller houses for guests. To give you an even better idea of the scale involved, the master bedroom alone will reportedly include multiple bathrooms, two walk-in closets, and even its own infinity pool.

Arqui300

That's just the master bedroom – sorry, master suite. The rest of The One is even more impressive, with a few amenities that are decidedly not part of the usual mansion repertoire, no matter how big they are. That includes a 45-seat home movie theater, a bowling alley, a casino, and even a nightclub (!) measuring in at 8,500 square feet. Then there is the "Jellyfish Room," a massive aquarium with its own special light show built into the ceiling.

It's not clear what the status of The One's construction is now, but in August a "promotional 3D movie" about five minutes long made its way to YouTube, and you can get a look at it below:

As you can see, The One seems to be mostly computer generated at this point. But keep your eyes open for more information on this wildly ambitious construction project, and perhaps it will actually be someone's home in the near future.

The Arizona Cardinals released Sam Bradford earlier this month, bringing his career in Arizona to a merciful end. Bradford, who signed a one-year, $20 million contract with the Cardinals this offseason, was benched after starting just three games, finishing 50 for 80 for 400 yards, two touchdowns, and four interceptions.

You may notice those statistics are not very good. But Bradford has somehow made a career out of receiving huge paychecks without producing on the field.

The 31-year-old has now made $127.5 million over nine seasons in the NFL – an average of nearly $14.2 million per year.

Bradford's numbers have been pedestrian, at best. In 83 games, he's completed 62.5 percent of his passes, with 103 touchdowns and 61 interceptions. His teams have finished 34-48-1 in those games, a winning percentage of .416.

Jennifer Stewart/Getty Images

Perhaps the most baffling stat of the above is the number of games played. Bradford has averaged just 9.2 games played per season, yet he still keeps commanding large contracts.

It's puzzling: Bradford has only played all 16 games in a season twice, and those seasons both happened within the first three years of his career.

In fact, unless another team picks him up this season and he plays more games, he'll have made three or fewer appearances in three of the past five seasons.

And sure, there have been tantalizing flashes of potential. Bradford finished with 23 touchdowns versus five interceptions in two years in Minnesota. But after suffering yet another injury last year, he lost his starting job. The Vikings signed Kirk Cousins in the offseason and had no reason to keep Bradford on the roster.

It's highly likely another team will give Bradford a chance at some point in his career. He's a former Heisman trophy winner and No. 1 pick, and NFL coaches love nothing more than a good reclamation project.

Until then, Bradford has plenty of money to keep him busy.

Next week, in Geneva, a small pink rock will go up for auction as part of two days of bidding on jewelry. "Small" being a relative term, it's a little bit of a misnomer here, since the "Pink Legacy" diamond is in fact the largest fancy vivid pink diamond ever sold by Christie's, and the auction house expects it to fetch anywhere from $30 million to $50 million once all is said and done.

The Pink Legacy will be the crown jewel (so to speak) of Christie's upcoming Magnificent Jewels auction, which kicks off on November 13th. Rahul Kadakia is Christie's International Head of Jewellery, and he has this to say about this very special diamond in the auction house's press release:

"The saturation, the intensity of this stone is as good as it gets in a coloured diamond. To find a diamond of this size with this colour is pretty much unreal … You may see this colour in a pink diamond of less than one carat. But this is almost 19 carats and it's as pink as can be. It's unbelievable."

FABRICE COFFRINI/AFP/Getty Images

The color isn't the only thing that distinguishes the Pink Legacy. Christie's also says that the diamond is a very rare Type IIa diamond, a classification reserved for diamonds with the utmost chemical purity, and almost no trace of nitrogen or other chemical imperfections. As Kadakia explains:

"Pink diamonds fall under the rare Type IIa category of diamond. These are stones that have little if any trace of nitrogen, and make up less than two per cent of all gem diamonds. Type IIa stones are some of the most chemically pure diamonds often with exceptional transparency and brilliance."

As if that weren't enough, the Pink Legacy is also nearly unique in its coloring as well. Most pink diamonds have a "color modifier" such as purple, orange, or even brown or grey, but as a certified "Fancy Vivid" stone Pink Legacy has nothing but pink, like something the Shah of Lugash might be proud to own. Very few Fancy Vivid diamonds ever weigh in at more than ten carats, making the 18.96 carat Pink Legacy a diamond of "virtually unheard of" proportions, and Christie's says that over the course of its 250-year history only four such stones have ever gone on its auction block.

Stay tuned to find out just how much the Pink Legacy gets at auction on Tuesday.

Apple recently released its fourth quarter earnings report, and it included an interesting figure regarding the company's already legendary cash reserves. The report states that the company has some $237.1 billion in cash on hand – and, just in case you're not paying close attention to these things, that's actually about $6 billion less than they reported having last quarter.

Still, $237 billion is an awful lot of money for any single company to control. CNBC says that the company's penchant for "cash hoarding" has led to speculation that it may have some major mergers and/or acquisitions in its future, but the company has let go of some of its funds towards things like "content creation, emerging markets and creating U.S. jobs." Then there's the $350 billion that Apple said in January it would contribute to the United States over the next five years, both in the form of various taxes and a new campus located somewhere in the US.

JOSH EDELSON/AFP/Getty Images

Whatever Apple decides to do with its massive cash reserves, it can be interesting to contextualize the amount by looking at what the company could buy if it really wanted to. Here are four of the most entertaining examples:

An Entire Country

Buying an entire country is not really something you can do with cash, but just for fun, take a look at the gross domestic product of entire countries to get an idea of just how much money Apple is really sitting on. New Zealand has a GDP currently sitting at just under $206 billion, so Apple could take the whole shebang and still have more than $31 billion left over.

All The Major American Sports Teams

When you're dealing with figures in the hundreds of billions, you sometimes need to stretch your imagination to even pretend to spend it all. Here, for example, it wouldn't really be enough for Apple merely to buy a sports team, or even a sports league. To really make use of their cash in this arena they would need to purchase every single major team across all four of the biggest American sports: Football, basketball, baseball, and hockey. One recent estimate had every team in the NFL with a combined value of about $75 billion, while the NBA comes to over $40 billion. MLB clocks in at $46 billion for all of its teams, and NHL brings up the rear at "just" $15.5 billion. Add 'em all up and you have 122 pro sports teams for $177 billion, which would leave around $60 billion for Apple to, I dunno, purchase a few million racehorses or something.

A Sharper Image Foosball Coffee Table for Everyone in America

If you take $237 billion and divide it among the estimated 325 million people in the United States, you get a cool $730. Most of us would probably just appreciate a check, but I checked out the Sharper Image catalog to try and find a gift that would satisfy almost everyone and still leave Apple with some fast cash left over. I found the "Foosball Coffee Table," which is a working premium foosball table underneath a layer of glass that lets it serve as both a functioning coffee table and a foosball table at the same time. Be honest: You'd love to find one of these at your door this holiday season, and Apple could make it happen for everyone in the entire country.

An Entire Company

We should probably close things out with something that's at least in the realm of possibility. As per those A&M speculations I mentioned at the top, Apple undoubtedly has the cash resources to buy out another massive company and still have money left over. Tesla, for example, has a current market cap of $57.4 billion, a tidy sum but well within Apple's reach, if it was interested. Not enough for you? Even The Walt Disney Company is valued right now at about $172 billion, which means all those shares wouldn't even come close to bankrupting Apple. Of course, this isn't likely either, as Apple's senior vice president of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue has gone on record saying "We might be better buying somebody or doing that, but that's not what we're trying to do. We are trying to do something that's unique." Unique … maybe we could convince Apple to buy us all Sharper Image foosball tables after all!

A new condo tower at 220 Central Park South is drawing some exclusive tenants who are spending between $12 million and $250 million for units they haven't even seen. The developer of this nearly 1,000 foot tall tower refuses to release images of the condos. So, who are the people dropping a fortune on these condos? Hedge fund manager and real estate hoarder Ken Griffin reportedly dropped more than $200 million on several units at 220 Central Park South. Billionaire Daniel Och, the chairman of Och-Ziff Capital Management, the biggest publicly traded hedge fund in the U.S. is also slated to be a resident. Calvary Portfolio Services' Andrew Zaro and his actress wife Lois Robbins also bought an apartment in the building. So did real estate mogul Ofer Yardeni, CEO of Stonehenge Management. Oh, and so did Sting and Trudie Styler.

The company building the tower, Vornado Realty Trust, and the company selling the units, Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group, have both declined to comment on the identities of any of the buyers at 220 Central Park South.

Most developers are eager to show potential buyers the finishes and amenities of their homes. Vornado has decided not to do that and shrouded the ultra expensive units in secrecy. It seems to be working for them. About 83% of the building is sold, including 26 of the 27 full floor units which are priced at $50 million or more. More than half of those were sold within a year of the building going on sale in 2015. Vornado will make $1 billion from sales of the units in the building.

The building has an 18-story chalet fronting the street with a 79 story tower rising behind it. It is believed that the Robert A.M. Stern designed building will set a record for the highest price per square feet for a New York City apartment. The current record was set in another Stern designed building, 15 Central Park West back in 2012 with the $13,000 per square foot penthouse with an $88 million price tag fetched.

Amenities in the building include private dining rooms, a gym, a library, basketball court, juice bar, golf simulator, and a children's play area.
