<p>Apart from movie earnings his assets also comprise a large part of his net worth. For instance, his bungalow in Mulholland Drive Beverly Hills previously owned by Marlon Brando was valued at $ 6,100,000. The estimated value of Jack Nicholson’s art collection is $ 100,000,000 which includes the works of Matisse, Warhol, Tamara de Lempicka and Picasso. He also put up his Malibu property for sale which is valued at $ 4,250,000. And the value of his Newberry house in Aspen which is currently on the market is estimated at $ 15,000,000. These properties surely make him one of the richest movie actors alive.</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">PERSONAL LIFE</span></p>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/255px-Jack_Nicholson.0920.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5024" alt="255px-Jack_Nicholson.0920" src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/255px-Jack_Nicholson.0920-225x300.jpg" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Nicholson was married only once in his entire lifetime for a brief period of 6 years from 1962-1968. He had two kids from the marriage a son and a daughter. He dated Michelle Phillips in the early 1970s. Between 1973 and 1990, Nicholson had a high-profile but sporadic relationship with actress Anjelica Huston that included periods of overlap with other women, including Danish model Winnie Hollman. From 1989 to 1994 was dating actress Rebecca Broussard; they had two children together: daughter Lorraine and son Raymond.</p>
<p>Like all celebrities Nicholson has had his fare share of controversies. In 1994, he was accused of accused of vandalism and criminal charges were filed against him by Robert Blank. After accusing blank of cutting him off in traffic, Nicholson used his golf club to bash the windshield and roof of Blank&#8217;s car. The charges against Nicholson were dropped after he apologized to Blank and an undisclosed settlement was reached between the two which also included a $ 500,000 check from Nicholson.</p>
<p>This incident wasn’t the last time Nicholson’s temper made the news.  Nicholson is a fan of the Los Angeles and New York Yankees . He has held a Laker season ticket since 1970 and has held court side season tickets for the past 25 years next to the opponent&#8217;s benches at both The Forum and the Staples Center.. A known legendary fan of the Los Angeles Lakers professional basketball team, he has been threatened more than once with ejection for yelling at the referees and losing his temper at them.</p>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/330px-Lakers_vs_Nuggets_2013-01-06_27.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5025" alt="330px-Lakers_vs_Nuggets_2013-01-06_(27)" src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/330px-Lakers_vs_Nuggets_2013-01-06_27-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Nicholson certainly had a long and prosperous career. He is without doubt regarded as one of the most talented actors ever the world of cinema has seen. And he continues to dazzle everyone with his performances. In November 2013, there were reports that Nicholson is going to retire from acting because of problems relating to memory but hours later the reports were dismissed.</p>

<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Alex-Rodriguez-April-2009-D.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3045" alt="Alex-Rodriguez-April-2009-D" src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Alex-Rodriguez-April-2009-D-300x300.jpg" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Alexander Emmanuel “Alex” Rodriguez also known as “A-Rod” by his fans is an American professional baseball player. Originally of Dominican descent, Alex Rodriguez was born on July 27, 1975. He plays as third baseman for the New York Yankees of Major League baseball (MLB). He has also played shortstop for the Texas Rangers and the Seattle Mariners. He was one of the most talented young players scouts had ever seen and is considered as one of the greatest baseball players of all time. His talent for baseball was recognized when he was still high school. At that time he was representing his school team and had already gained National Recognition. He was also awarded the USA Junior Baseball player of the year. However, Rodriquez’s career has been mired with controversies due to his expensive contracts and usage of illegal performance enhancing drugs.</p>
<p>Not only is he the youngest player ever to hit 500 home runs, breaking the record Jimmie Foxx set in 1939, but he is also the youngest to hit 600, besting Babe Ruth&#8217;s record by over a year. Rodriguez’s record of 14 100-RBI seasons in his career is the most by any player in the history of baseball. On September 24, 2010 Rodriguez became the all time leader in home runs by a player of Hispanic descent, surpassing Sammy Sosa&#8217;s mark of 609 home runs.</p>
<p>In 2007, Alex Rodriquez broke another record when he signed a new 10 year contract with New York Yankees for $275 million. Breaking his previous record contract of $252 million, this was the richest contract in the history of baseball. In February 2009, Rodriguez admitted to using steroids, saying he used them from 2001 to 2003 when playing for the Texas Rangers due to &#8220;an enormous amount of pressure&#8221; to perform.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">HE IS FILTHY RICH!</span></p>
<p>Alex Rodriguez earns baseball’s highest yearly salary at $33 million a year. As mentioned above he has a net worth estimated at $300 million. Alex has signed two of the biggest contracts in the history of baseball, $252 million with the Texas Rangers in 2000 and $275 million with the New York Yankees in 2007. The Yankee deal also includes $30 million in additional compensation if he reaches certain home run targets. Even though he was sidelined for the 2013 surgery after hip surgery Yankees still owed him $89 million after this season. At one point of time his endorsement deals with Nike and Rawlings used to be among the highest in the game. He still uses the products, but no longer gets paid for it. He recently sold his Miami Beach home for $30 million. Below are his career earnings from baseball until 2013:</p>

<p>In 2012, <i>Forbes </i>magazine ranked Alex Rodriguez 18<sup>th</sup> amongst the richest sports persons and 63<sup>rd</sup> amongst the celebrities around the world. With so much of salary also comes the liberty to enjoy the luxuries of life. Rodriguez is known for spending lavishly on himself. For instance, his home on North Bay road was listed for a whopping $38 million. The 19,861-square-foot lair comes equipped with 16 security cameras, a full gym with sauna and steam rooms, an outdoor pool, 275-feet of water frontage overlooking Biscayne Bay and an independent generator that works in case of power outages.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/arod31n_3_wilhq.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3046" alt="arod31n_3_wilhq" src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/arod31n_3_wilhq-300x231.jpg" width="300" height="231" /></a></p>
<p>He also owns three luxury cars: a Maybach, Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Convertible, and a Ferrari.</p>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/alex_rodriguez_ferrari_aiayr.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3047" alt="alex_rodriguez_ferrari_aiayr" src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/alex_rodriguez_ferrari_aiayr-300x197.jpg" width="300" height="197" /></a></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">OOPS! </span></p>
<p>In February 2009, a report in <i>Sports Illustrated</i> claimed that Rodriguez had tested positive for two anabolic steroids Primobolan and testosterone during his 2003 season playing for the Texas Rangers, the same season in which he captured his first American League Most Valuable Player award, broke 300 career home runs and earned a Silver Slugger Awards. This information was part of a government sealed report which had claimed that over 100 MLB players had been tested positive for performance enhancing drugs during a 2003 drug survey. After the leak of the report became a huge controversy, in an interview with ESPN Rodriguez admitted to using drugs during 2001-2003 citing an enormous amount of pressure to perform.</p>
<p>As if this wasn’t enough, there was another accusation against him that he had received HGH (Human Growth Hormone) from Biogenesis of America, an anti-aging clinic in Coral Gables, Florida. Everyone was under the impression that he Rodriguez would be suspended for his involvement. The first confirmation came on August 3, 2013 MLB rebuffed the players&#8217; union&#8217;s last-minute offer to negotiate. Instead, as a result of this Rodriguez got until the afternoon of August 4 to reach an agreement regarding a greater punishment or suspension for his alleged role in the Biogenesis affair. As a result of the Biogenesis scandal investigation, Alex Rodriguez was suspended for 211 games on 5<sup>th</sup> August 2013. But he was allowed to play while the suspension was under appeal. The original suspension, had it been upheld, would have been the longest non-lifetime suspension in baseball history. His suspension was reduced to 162 games after an arbitration hearing.</p>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Alex-rod.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3048" alt="Alex Rodriguez" src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Alex-rod-300x200.jpg" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Such were the previous contracts signed by Alex Rodriguez that even if he would have been banned for life he would still get some money. Shocking isn’t it. Apparently, if the lifetime ban would have become a reality Texas Rangers would still have to pay him $40 million. CBS New York reported:</p>
<p>“<i>After playing for the Mariners from 1994-2000, A-Rod signed a 10-year, $252 million deal with Texas, at the time the richest contract in sports history. The club still owes the three-time Most Valuable Player approximately $40 million in deferred money from the initial contract that A-Rod signed in 2000, according to the newspaper. That figure will eventually grow to almost $50 million. The Rangers will pay the 38-year-old from 2016-2025, according to the Dallas Morning News</i>.”</p>
<p>One must have thought that after being involved in such a big scandal he would be hit financially and would have to pay for his mistakes. Well they were wrong. He will continue earning despite not playing. Well, good for him!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Net Worth: &#8211; $1 Million</h1>
<h3><b>Retired Professional Basketball Player</b></h3>
<p>You are probably wondering, how someone’s net worth can be in the negative. You are probably even wondering who Allen Iverson is. First let’s focus on Allen Iverson then we will get to his jaw dropping net worth.</p>
<p><strong>WHO IS ALLEN IVERSON?</strong></p>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Iverson.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1934" alt="Iverson" src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Iverson.jpg" width="183" height="275" /></a></p>
<p>I have to admit even I didn’t know who Allen Iverson was until I chose to write this article. Turns out he is a retired NBA star.</p>
<p>Allen Iverson was born on 7<sup>th</sup> June, 1975 in Virginia, USA. Famously know as A.I, The Answer, and King Cross he is a former professional basketball player. Iverson completed his schooling from Bethel High School in Hampton, Virginia where he was a dual-sport athlete. Playing both football and basketball he was awarded the Associated Press High School Player of the Year award, and won the Division AAA Virginia state championship in both sports. After completing his high school, Iverson went to college to Georgetown University for two years, where he won Big East Defensive Player of the Year awards both years and set the school record for career scoring average (22.9 points per game).</p>
<p>In 1996 after two successful years at Georgetown Iverson declared eligibility for NBA Draft. He was immediately selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the number one pick.  He was named the NBA Rookie of the Year in the 1996–97 season. Iverson was an eleven-time NBA All-Star and won the All-Star MVP award in 2001 and 2005.</p>
<p>Iverson won the NBA scoring title four times in his entire career (1998–99, 2000–01, 2001–02 and 2004–05 seasons). A man of small stature (listed at 6 feet, 0 inches) he is regarded as one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history. He held a regular season career scoring average of 26.7 points per game which is sixth in all-time ranking. and his playoff career scoring average of 29.7 points per game is second only to Michael Jordan. Iverson was also the NBA Most Valuable Player of The 2000–01 season when his team reached the NBA finals Iverson was name the NBA Most Valuable Player of the season. Iverson also represented the United States at the 2004 Summer Olympics, winning the bronze medal. He has also played for the Detroit Pistons, Memphis Grizzlies and the Denver Nuggets before ending his NBA career with the 76ers during the 2009–10 season. In 2008 ESPN rated him the fifth greatest NBA shooting guard of all time.</p>
<p><strong>IF HE WAS SO FAMOUS, HE WAS PROBABLY RICH TOO!</strong></p>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/allen-magazine-cover.jpg"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-1935" alt="images" src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/images18.jpg" width="191" height="264" /></a></p>
<p>That’s correct. Before going bankrupt Allen Iverson was amongst the richest NBA players. His total career earnings are estimated to be around 155 million USD. Below is a compilation of his career earnings.</p>

<p><b>Total Career Earnings: $155 Million</b></p>
<p>Iverson also tried his luck in the music industry. During the 2000 off-season, he recorded a rap single called “40 Bars”. But apparently, the single was single was never released as it was criticized for having controversial lyrics. His album, <i>Jewelz</i>, was alleged to have made derogatory comments about homosexuals. After criticism from activist groups and NBA Commissioner David Stern, he agreed to change the lyrics, but ultimately never released the album.</p>
<p><strong>TROUBLE IN PARADISE</strong></p>
<p>So how does a man go from earning $ 155 Million to bankruptcy? Beats me too, but guess what it happens and unfortunately it happened to Allen Iverson.</p>
<p>In 2012, Iverson filed for Bankruptcy after claiming that he was flat out broke. Subsequently, on 14<sup>th</sup> February 2012 a Georgia Judge ordered the seizure of all of Allen Iverson&#8217;s bank accounts. This certainly comes as a shock given that his total career earnings were $ 155 Million as mentioned above. The figure of $ 155 Million is just through his earnings as a basketball player. It is believed that Iverson earned an additional of $ 30- $ 40 Million through endorsements and merchandising deals. Iverson certainly isn’t the first professional athlete to face such a financial ordeal. It is alleged that he travelled with an entourage of as many as 50 people at times. He had a habit of showering his friends and family, especially his mother, with jewelry, cars, expensive vacations and houses. Iverson’s most recent financial trouble came when he was ordered by a judge to pay $ 900,000 to a Georgia jeweler but apparently he doesn’t have a single dime to his name.</p>
<p>The Bankruptcy that Iverson filed in December 2012 with the court, in that he told a Georgia judge that his monthly income is $62,500 but his expenses are $360,000! Mortgages and debt owed to various creditors comprise of almost $ 125k of that $360k. Iverson also admitted to the judge that his current spending involves $10,000 a month on restaurants/entertainment, $10,000 a month on clothes and an additional $10,000 on groceries. That’s a lot of spending by a guy who has filed for bankruptcy, is flat out broke and his net worth is – 1 MILLION USD.</p>
<p><strong> NOT A FAIRYTALE ENDING</strong></p>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/iverson-sad.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1936" alt="Allen Iverson" src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/iverson-sad-300x199.jpg" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>Iverson realizing that his NBA career was close to over signed for a Turkish Basketball league team Besiktas in 2010. He signed a two year contract with them, which gave him a $ 4 Million net income for those two years. Iverson officially announced his retirement from professional basketball on October 30, 2013.</p>
<p>In August 2013, Iverson’s former wife Tawanna demanded $ 1.2 Million from him for child support. When he couldn’t pay he was dragged to court by his wife. According to court documents cited by <i>TMZ</i>, he said that he doesn’t have enough money for the child support. While Iverson was one of the most decorated players of his generation, he certainly didn’t do a good job saving money from his career.</p>
<p>Sadly enough, Iverson’s post-NBA career has been filled with controversies and stories of divorce, financial ruin, and alcohol abuse. Certainly not an ending a decorated sports star should deserve.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>NET WORTH: $10 billion<br />
</b></p>
<p><strong>PROFESSION: Professional Tennis Player</strong></p>
<p>The beautiful country of Spain most famously known as a tourist hub is not exactly what you would call, a sporting powerhouse. The Spanish football team did bring the country to spotlight when they won the 2008 Euro Football Championship. After that the football team went on to win the 2010 FIFA world Cup and the Euro Football Championship again in 2012. If that wasn’t enough, the Spanish football team was awarded the Team of the Year award in Laureus World Sports Awards. But much before the Spanish Football team could put its stamp on the sporting world there was one Spaniard who was doing his part very efficiently. His name is RAFAEL NADAL.</p>
<h3>LET’S GET TO KNOW HIM</h3>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/nadal.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1366" alt="download" src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/download8.jpg" width="269" height="187" /></a></p>
<p>Rafael “Rafa” Nadal Parera, simply known as Rafael Nadal certainly needs no introduction. Known for his aggressive style of play and strong forehand shots, with a stocky and well built muscular body he certainly is a towering figure in the world of tennis. Born on 3 June 1986 in Manacor, Spain he currently holds the No.1 position in World ATP singles ranking. Widely regarded by many as the single greatest tennis player of all time Rafael Nadal has won 13 Grand Slam singles titles, the 2008 Olympic gold medal in singles, a record 26 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 and a record 14 ATP World Tour 500 tournaments. In 2010, he became the seventh player in history and youngest of four in the Open Era to achieve the Career Grand Slam. Nadal also holds the record for being one of the only two players in history who have won at least two Grand Slam titles on three different surfaces—hard court, grass, and clay. In 2013, Nadal became the only male player to win a single Grand Slam tournament eight times and the first to win at least one Grand Slam tournament for nine consecutive years, breaking the record of eight consecutive years previously shared by Pete Sampras, Björn Borg, and Roger Federer. He later came to be referred as the KING OF THE CLAY because of his unprecedented success on the clay court.</p>

<p>Recognizing his talent in tennis, Nadal’s uncle Toni Nadal encouraged him to pursue tennis as a career. At the age of 12 not only was Rafael Nadal a talented football player but he could play forehand shots with both of his hands. He went on to win many Spanish and European tennis tournaments in his age group.</p>
<p>Nadal came into limelight when the front page of newspapers all around the world carried a news that Roger Federer had been beaten by a 17 year old kid named Rafael Nadal and became the youngest man to reach the third round at Wimbledon since Boris Becker. At the age of 18, he helped Spain defeat US in the junior Davis Cup in his second, and final, appearance on the ITF junior circuit. When he was 19, Nadal in his debut appearance at the French Open won the tournament, a feat that had not been accomplished in Paris for more than 20 years. He eventually went on to win it the first four times he played at Roland Garros.  In 2003, he was awarded ATP Newcomer of the Year Award. Early in his career, Nadal came to be known for his peculiar tradition of biting the trophies that he won.</p>

<p>Nadal’s immense popularity meant that his earnings were not limited to his salary from tennis. Nadal soon started signing many endorsement deals with major brands such as Nike, Babolat, Kia Motors, Richard Mille and Bacardi. In 2011, Nadal replaced Cristiano Ronaldo as the new face of Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans for the spring/summer collection. This was the first time the label chose a tennis player for the job as prior to this it had largely been associated with players from association football or soccer. His huge earnings certainly allowed Rafael Nadal to enjoy the finer things in life. In March 2012, Rafael Nadal purchased a luxury villa for $ 2 million in the Dominican Republic. Nadal also has a collection of two luxury cars – an Aston Martin DBS: Sports Edition and a red colored Mercedes-Benz SL55.</p>
