Money

All future ten digit pimps listen up ... Mark Cuban is about to tell you the how you shop for food when you have too much money to worry about normie stores (sorry Serena).

Cuban was out in NYC when our photog asked him a question that is strangely intriguing when you think about it ... how does Cuban shop for groceries.

If you think he grabs his basket and heads to Albertson's you're wrong ... but if you think he doesn't do his own shopping, you're also wrong.

TMZ Sports has obtained the suicide note Aaron Hernandez wrote to his fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez -- in which he tells her she will be RICH after he kills himself.

It's not hard to connect the dots. In Massachusetts, when someone dies after being convicted of a crime, they are only considered guilty postmortem if their appeal process is exhausted.

In Aaron's case, his murder conviction was pending appeal. Therefore, under MA law he died an innocent man.

As a result of dying innocent, the New England Patriots cannot justify firing him and denying him the remainder of his salary ($6 mil) so the team may have to pay that money to Aaron's estate and it appears Shay is the beneficiary ... and Aaron knew it.

So, there's a strong smell Aaron may have killed himself so his fiancee could be set for life.

It's safe to say Mike Brown will NOT be shelling out $500 for Lonzo Ball's sneakers.

The Golden State Warriors assistant coach was asked about the ex-UCLA star's debut ZO2 shoes before Thursday night's win over the Jazz ... and his reaction is absolutely priceless.

The reporter asks: “Would you buy your kids a pair of shoes for $500 from an unproven NBA player after college?”

Brown lets out a great laugh before shooting down the idea. And he's not alone ... Shaq also scoffed at the expensive kicks on Twitter, saying "Real Big Baller Brands don't over charge kids for shoes."

Lonzo's dad, Lavar, responded to the haters on Twitter last night, saying "Big Baller's loose! If you can't afford the ZO2'S, you're NOT a BIG BALLER!"

Stacks on stacks on stacks on stacks!!

Floyd Mayweather broke the bank for the opening of his new Vegas strip club -- wheeling bags and bags of money into his whip to make sure his new joint is thunderstrormin' from the minute it opens.

Floyd is the man behind Girl Collection in Vegas -- what he describes as an "upscale" gentleman's club featuring exotic dancers from all over the world.

The club opens this week. Floyd's clearly prepared.

Mariah Carey got a Maybach for her birthday and, well, it didn't exactly float her boat.

Mimi was celebrating her belated bday Thursday night at Tao in Hollywood. She turned 47 back in March. The ride was a belated gift from her manager, Stella Bulochnikov.

Most people would've freaked out over a whip with a starting price of $200k. Mariah barely flinched.

Britney Spears' old costumes are about to net one of her superfans $1 million ... or at least that's the hope of the collector who's unloading 7 vintage Brit looks.

The crown jewel of Dana Proctor's collection is the iconic outfit Brit wore during her 2001 "I'm A Slave 4 U" performance at the MTV VMAs. Python not included, but she's also hawking 6 other wardrobe selections from Brit's music vids, award shows, and Super Bowl performance with Aerosmith.

Some highlights:
- "Overprotected" music video Levi’s chaps
- 2008 VMAs custom Versace Atelier dress
- "I'm A Slave 4 U" music video costume
- "Me Against the Music" music video (feat. Madonna) costume

Important sales point: Dana's ONLY selling the wardrobe as a set. Her eBay auction ends next week, and so far the high bid is $33,400 ... so, she's a long way off that $1 mil goal.

But you know Brit fans represent.

Floyd Mayweather wants to be the next Steve Ballmer ... or Mark Cuban ... or Michael Jordan -- as in, he wants to own an NBA franchise.

The boxer says he had a meeting in L.A. with Lakers President of Basketball Operations Magic Johnson on Thursday morning -- and when he left, he was more inspired than ever to make a play to own an NBA team.

"It's about time for me to buy an NBA team," Floyd says ... "If you're ready to sell your NBA team, please get in touch with me."

Floyd's made hundreds of millions of dollars during his boxing career -- but we're guessing he would have to team up with another financial partner (like Derek Jeter and Jeb Bush did) if he's serious.

You'd think a Darth Vader mask on sale for $1.4 million would at least have been worn in one of the 'Star Wars' films, but not so ... and yet, it's still pretty baller.

Japanese jeweler Ginza Tanaka created the Sith Lord's famous mask in solid 24 carat gold for the die-hard 'Star Wars' fan with super deep pockets. Naturally it had to hit the market today, May the Fourth ... aka Star Wars Day.

Don't worry about it being sold off. They're custom order, which means Ginza Tanaka seems to think more than one of these bad boys will sell. FYI, it takes about 10 goldsmiths 3 months to create the piece.

Leave it to a Hollywood producer to unload his $100 million mansion with the SEXIEST video sales pitch ever -- complete with semi-naked women ... touching each other.

The famed Bev Hills estate known as Opus just hit the market, and this movie trailer-styled reel is sure to have buyers lining up for the 20,500 sq ft, 7 bed, 11 bath palace.

Opus was built by mega developer and former movie producer Nile Niami. He also had a hand in the promotional vid for the "Billionaires' Row" property.

You might notice the 2 pools, waterfall, champagne vault, home theater and beauty salon -- in between shots of topless women in body paint. It also comes with a 10-car museum pre-stocked with a gold Lamborghini Aventador and Rolls-Royce Dawn.

Opus is listed by Drew Fenton of Hilton & Hyland, who also brokered the Playboy Mansion deal.

Golden ladies not included. We're pretty sure.

Danielle Bregoli is going after Walmart for ripping off her catchphrase, and plastering it all over its merchandise without paying her a cent.

The "Cash Me Outside" girl's legal team -- yes, she has one -- fired a letter off to the retail giant demanding it pull all 15 articles of clothing -- including tees, tank tops and hoodies -- from its online store in the next 5 days.

If Walmart fails to do so, Danielle's team says it can expect to catch a lawsuit.

Danielle's lawyers also want to know how much dough Walmart's already made off the apparel -- presumably to get a cut. They're serious about protecting her slogan ... which, believe it or not, just earned her an MTV Movie Award nom in the "Trending" category.

A Walmart rep says they haven't seen Danielle's letter yet, but it takes her claim seriously and will investigate.

6:15 PST -- Sources close to Travis tell us the rapper signed the deal in good faith -- thinking if he held up his end of the contract, so would Lyor Cohen's LCAR -- however, that wasn't the case. We're told Travis felt he was managing his own career as Cohen and company weren't lifting a finger for him ... so he left for a better management company.

Our source says it's ridiculous that Cohen, the head of global music at YouTube, would file such a frivolous lawsuit.

Much like Kylie Jenner's ex, her new bf Travis Scott's got a problem paying his bills ... at least according to his ex-managers who claim he's a couple million in the hole with them.

Travis' old pals at LCAR Management say the rapper signed a 3-year contract in Oct. 2014 which guarantees them 15% of everything he makes in entertainment. In docs, obtained by TMZ, they say that should've earned them at least $2 million by now.

Their problem ... Travis has only paid about $37k, according to the suit. LCAR says it's made repeated efforts to get the dough since 2015, but all they got was a letter from Scott's attorneys saying their services were no longer needed.

LCAR says it has a signed deal which Travis needs to honor. It's suing to get an accounting of what he's earned, and to get paid in full. We've reached out Travis' current reps ... no word back yet.

This could trigger PTSD for Kylie.

Rick Ross says he squashed his beef with Drake -- during that mess with his artist, Meek Mill -- for one simple reason ... there's a ton of bread to be made.

Rick did an interview on "Best Seat In The House" with Hovain Hylton, and described his sit-down with Drizzy over his epic feud with Meek.

Sounds like it was a friendly face-to-face, and Rick shouts out J. Prince for making it happen.

Luis Miguel has reportedly been busted for repeatedly failing to show up to court hearings for a lawsuit.

The iconic Mexican singer was nabbed Tuesday in L.A. on an arrest warrant that was issued April 17 ... according to Telemundo. Miguel's former manager is suing him over unpaid fees, and Miguel's been a no-show in court.

Miguel -- known as "El Sol de Mexico" -- was warned back in March if he continued missing hearings he'd be arrested.

The mic Beyonce used on her Formation World Tour and at the Grammys has a new owner ... all for the price of $11k.

It was auctioned off over the weekend to a woman named CeCe Hendriks at the Wearable Art Gala in L.A., an event thrown by Bey's mom, Tina Knowles-Lawson.

CeCe tells us she scored the piece of music history after she was outbid on a VIP experience to next year's Coachella, where Bey will be a headliner.

It's a working mic, and according to its new owner, there's enough wear and tear that you can see where Beyonce held it. In other words -- serious collector's item.

As for what CeCe plans to do with it... it'll be a gift for her son's 13th B'Day (see what we did there, Beyhive?) and then it'll go on living in a safety deposit box.

Akon's been holding out on his biz partner for more than 10 years, and now owes a staggering $150 million in unpaid fees ... according to Devyne Stephens, anyway.

Stephens is the music exec who famously helped launch Akon's career, and his Konvict Music label -- and in a new lawsuit he says he's supposed to be getting 40% of everything Akon's earned since 2006. He says their contract gives him a cut of record sales, touring rights, royalties and more.

Akon's old pal admits they had a dispute over the contract, but says they squashed it in 2015. Stephens says the problem is ... he still hasn't seen a dime.

If the math is right ... Akon's earned nearly $400 million in just over a decade -- a pretty sweet haul, for sure. Stephens is suing to get $150 mil from that bottom line.

Sony is pissed at Applebee's for using AC/DC and C+C Music Factory songs without ever paying a dime for them ... according to a new lawsuit.

Sony says it owns the license and copyright on "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" and "Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" -- both of which are featured in the restaurant's ad campaign.

According to the suit, Sony was contacted through a third party about using the tracks in TV spots plugging wood-fired beef and the Applebee's to-go service. Sony says it quoted prices -- $250k for the AC/DC tune, and $50k for C+C Music Factory's -- and sent license agreements, but never got paid.

When Sony reached out for their money, Applebee's claimed it already paid the third party. Not good enough for Sony, obviously, which is suing the restaurant for the $300k, plus damages.

1:44 PM PT -- A spokesperson for Applebee's has responded, stating, “Applebee's intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit, which we believe does not have merit. We cannot comment further on pending litigation.”
