The EU described Abramovich as an “oligarch who has close ties to Vladimir Putin,” and in May of last year Abramovich filed a challenge against the sanctions, which among other things cost him his ownership of Chelsea FC. Now, Abramovich is arguing before the court that the sanctions were imposed not because of any substantive ties between himself and Putin but because of his high public profile and fame....

Bonhams and Wexner’s attorneys released a joint statement to the public regarding the settlement, and you can almost sense the relief of all parties involved. Here’s an excerpt courtesy of the Daily Mail: This decisive conclusion to the saga of who really owns the “Fearsome Four-Nine” is only the latest chapter of a pretty exciting life for the car. It was stolen back in the 1980s from a Karl Kleve, before eventually ending up in the collection of former racecar driver Jacques Swaters, who is said to have had no idea it was stolen....

As adults, we say we would pay off all our bills, maybe take a vacation, buy a new car, and then make sure the family doesn’t have to worry about money as far into the future as possible. However, as 18 year olds, our focus would be on the coolest car, the best video game system, season tickets to our local NFL, NBA, and MLB teams, and the best-ever party/vacation....

He and others speculate that feelings of financial anxiety throughout the world are leading to cash hoarding and an attendant increase in circulation for $100 bills....

Ever since the creation of LIV, the PGA Tour had warned players about participating. Players who jumped ship were not welcome to participate in PGA Tour events, and there was a growing rift between PGA and LIV golfers. LIV was backed by the Saudi Public Investment Fund, which spent more than $2 billion on the new golf league. The Saudis played a role in the 9/11 attacks, were involved in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and have been accused of numerous human rights violations....

The NBA introduced the “supermax” extension (formally called the Designated Veteran Extension) in 2017. The goal is to reward veteran players that are among the best of the best.

Zhang Yiming is the 35-year-old founder ByteDance. The $75 billion valuation of his company surpasses that of Uber, making it, as mentioned, the most valuable startup in the world – and it has done that in China without taking money from Jack Ma’s Alibaba Group or Pony Ma’s Tencent – which is hard to do! The story of how Zhang built ByteDance into a giant starts with the news site Jinri Toutiao—but is more closely tied to a series of acquisitions and expansions that have pushed the company into mobile video (TikTok) and given it users far beyond the borders of China....

However, Brady’s ownership might be hitting a snag before it begins. Raiders owner Mark Davis has expressed his interest in employing Brady within the organization on top of his ownership stake. Yet that goes against a new NFL rule that explicitly states employees or family members of employees cannot have any kind of ownership in the team. The likely bet is that Brady will find a way to contribute to the Raiders without being formally employed by the organization....
