Money

One of the camps at Burning Man was the scene of a tragedy ... a financial one for a guy who says his hired gun in the desert made off with $15k in camp dues.

Leon Feingold runs the New York Dangerous camp, and says he hired Adam Librot in 2016 to be one of his camp's leaders. If ya haven't been to BM, here's how it works. People set up theme camps -- you pay the camp and it provides shelter, maybe food, water ... depends on how much ya pay.

In a lawsuit, Feingold says Librot went rogue ... set up 4 new websites to collect dues ranging from $100-$500 a head, and got a total of $20k. Feingold says he agreed Librot could use $5k for camp expenses, but claims the other $15k went straight into his camp leader's pocket.

The teen who plays Damon Wayans' daughter on the TV remake of "Lethal Weapon" banked nearly $150k for her first season, but still couldn't get a toilet guaranteed from the show.

Chandler Kinney plays Riana Murtaugh on the FOX series. She signed a 7-season deal, which earned her $15k per episode in season 1. Good money, for sure, but here's the reality of being a 17-year-old up-and-comer in Hollywood.

Chandler's reps couldn't get production to promise she'd have a private bathroom in her dressing room. Doesn't seem like she made much of a stink about it -- Chandler went on to appear in 10 outta 18 episodes.

Floyd Mayweather is wasting no time unloading the hundreds of millions he won less than a month ago ... plunking down $25.5 million on a Beverly Hills mansion.

The 15,000 sq ft home features 6 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a wine cellar and a guest house with a movie theater. The crib was built by developer Nile Niami and also features an incredible backyard pool for when Floyd wants some R&R.

We're told Floyd also bought the place fully furnished too ... so when all was said and done, the boxer paid a total of $26 million.

Floyd's been on a tear since taking down Conor McGregor ... he also spent a quarter million on Birkin bags during a shopping spree with hot chicks last week.

Magic Johnson is all about the Balls ... so much that he says he's willing to shell out nearly $1,000 for both Lonzo AND LaMelo's signature sneakers!!

The Lakers Prez was leaving Craig's in WeHo when we asked him if he was gonna cop his prized rookie's $495 ZO2s ... or his H.S. phenom baby bro's $395 Melo Ball 1s.

Cardi B's dress was all over the place ... and to say things got out of hand is an understatement.

The "Bodak Yellow" rapper hit up Rihanna's Diamond Ball in NYC Thursday night, and it was pretty obvious she needed a hand ... or 8, to be exact.

That dress -- undeniably stunning -- clearly had a mind of its own. But hey, anything for a great cause. RiRi's shindig raised a bunch of dough benefiting her foundation that helps impoverished communities around the globe.

The ex-burrito roller who trolled Jason Aldean did more than accuse him of being cheap -- he called the country star a "bitch" and insinuated he was racist.

TMZ obtained the since-deleted tweets from the fired employee of Black Sheep Burrito & Brews in West Virginia, and it's pretty clear why he was 86'd. One tweet said, "@Jason_Aldean can suck my ass for not tipping Black Sheep."

As we first reported, the guy put Jason on blast ... accusing him of leaving a crappy tip on a 60 burrito order. One of the tweets also reeked of racism, saying Aldean must think "Hispanics work at Black Sheep."

For the record, the manager says the employee was fired for tweeting about a customer -- and Jason wasn't even responsible for the giant food order ... according to his rep.

Alan Thicke's widow, Tanya Callau, just got an assist from the judge in her legal battle with his 2 sons over her prenup and the future of Alan's estate.

The judge threw out a petition filed by Robin Thicke and his brother, Brennan, Thursday to block Tanya from challenging the prenup she signed with their dad. The judge decided the brothers' concern was misplaced, because there was no evidence Callau had any intention of mounting a challenge.

This is exactly what Tanya claimed back in July, as reported by TMZ, when she accused the boys of filing the legal docs simply to trash her in the media and make her look like a greedy widow.

It's not a complete victory for Callau, though -- the judge left the door open for Robin and Brennan to file a new petition on the matter, but he would "need more specifics." Their lawyer suggests they will, because there are other disputed issues besides the prenup ... like exactly how to divvy up Alan's property.

One of the biz moguls on "Shark Tank" thinks Apple's latest iPhone is priced ridiculously ... but it's still gonna sell like crazy and it will make him a bloody fortune.

We got Canadian businessman Kevin O'Leary Wednesday at LAX and he says the reason the iPhone X is gonna be so damn expensive at $1,000-plus is 'cause Apple has become a luxury brand, and more than that ... it's turned into a lifestyle.

Kathy Griffin's photo of a fake, bloody Trump head has would-be buyers chomping at the bit to have it hanging in their living rooms ... but the photog has his price, and it's mighty steep.

Sources close to Tyler Shields -- who took the shot of Kathy holding the fake, bloody head resembling President Trump -- tell us he's already gotten over 1,000 offers from folks interested in buying a print of his controversial art piece ... many reaching 6 figures.

We're told an art collector offered Shields $150k for an original print, but we're told he passed ... 'cause he wants more to put it in ink. He has a print size in mind for anyone interested -- 72" x 52" ... a one size fits all type deal.

Afrojack didn't just ice up his own neck for his birthday, he made sure his whole crew was shining ... even though it cost him SIX figures! Best. Friend. Ever.

The Dutch DJ ordered 5 chains with custom Afrojack logo pendants made with white gold and diamonds. He bought one for himself, but the other 4 went to his closest friends. A source close to Afrojack tells us it was a thank-you for supporting him during his 10 years in the biz.

We're told each of the 5 pieces cost $20k -- and Afrojack hit up celeb jeweler Ben Baller of IF & Co. because he was impressed by Lil Uzi Vert's new chain. The goodies were delivered last weekend to his 30th bday bash in Holland.

Talk about a happy customer ... we're told Afrojack ordered 5 more for other members of his entourage.

We're saying he's spending like there's "No Tomorrow" -- his new track -- but he's got stacks for days.

The path to Farrah Abraham's rejuvenated vagina might be well worn, but you can still make an impression on her -- for the cost of a new pair of heels or a trip to Bangkok.

Farrah's created a profile for herself on the porn site, CamSoda -- where she's debuting her post-op vajayjay -- and it includes a wish list of things potential suitors can send her. It's a diverse wish list, but everything on it is expensive as hell:

- trips to Thailand, Greece, Monaco and Brazil
- $200 for a mani/pedi
- $3000 for hair
- Louis Vuitton purse, travel bag and carry-on luggage
- $1000 shopping spree
- size 9 heels

We're guessing the heels better be Louboutins or bust. The list might sound greedy, but in fairness -- porn stars commonly do this online.

Farrah makes her adult camming debut Wednesday evening, so who knows what will be filled ... from the list by morning.

Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber have plunked down millions of dollars -- which for them is a drop in the bucket -- for an amazing pad in 90210 ... and they bought it from a famous singer/songwriter.

We've learned the deal closed Tuesday, in the super exclusive Trousdale area. The house was listed for $12.75 mil, and they got it for just under 12 mil.

Trousdale is known for 1 story contemporary, and this one does not disappoint. The backyard is great ... ditto the pool. Cindy and Rande are known for entertaining outdoors, so it hits the spot.

They're selling their Malibu pad for $60 million, so the Bev Hills house isn't exactly chump change, but they won't be hurting. BTW Rande and George Clooney just sold Casamigos for $1 billion.

Cindy and Rande bought the house from OneRepublic singer Ryan Tedder. He also writes songs for Madonna, U2, Beyonce, Adele, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Zedd, One Direction, Kelly Clarkson, Demi Lovato, Jennifer Lopez, and on and on.

We reached out to celeb realtor Kurt Rappaport, who repped Cindy and Rande, but he didn't call back.

Sept. 13 5:52 AM PT -- The "Hand in Hand" telethon reportedly raised over $44 million in relief funds for the victims of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma in one night of fundraising.

The telethon to benefit victims of Hurricanes Irma and Harvey just wrapped with fundraising efforts totaling over $14 million and counting in just an hour.

As we reported ... celebs like Al Pacino, Justin Timberlake, Jon Stewart, Chris Paul, Demi Lovato, Diddy, Leo DiCaprio, Justin Bieber, Sofia Vergara, Reese Witherspoon, Drake and many more pitched in for the one-hour long show.

Several of them answered phones to take donations, and others performed as the telethon -- the brain child of Scooter Braun and Bun B -- went live from L.A., NYC, Nashville and San Antonio. And with Michael Dell and Verizon footing the bill for production ... 100% of proceeds will benefit hurricane victims.

Obviously, a great cause ... and a great event too.

Mark Ronson completely ripped off Roger Troutman and Zapp's funk masterpiece when he cranked out his megahit "Uptown Funk" with Bruno Mars ... this according to a new lawsuit.

Lastrada Entertainment, which owns rights to Roger and Zapp's 1980 classic "More Bounce to the Ounce" ... says 'Uptown' is a clear copy ... particularly the first 48 seconds of it. That portion includes the repeated talk-boxing of the word "doh" ... similar to the lyrics of 'More Bounce' in the 1980 hit.

"Uptown Funk" has been incredibly successful ... moving more than 11 million units since its release.

The suit, obtained by TMZ, also points out Ronson even cited Roger and Zapp as influences -- and includes note-for-note comparisons of the songs. Legalese aside ... you can listen to the similarities for yourself.

Lastrada is suing Ronson, Sony, Spotify, Apple and several producers to shut down future plays and sales of "Uptown Funk," ... plus an unspecified amount in damages. Bruno is not a defendant.

We've reached out to Ronson and Sony ... so far no word back.

Britney Spears spent millions in 2016, but dropped most of it in the same stores where you probably shop -- of course, you probably didn't make over $15 million last year.

TMZ obtained new docs filed in Britney's conservatorship, which show she dropped $10,956,873.91 last year. Sounds like a lot, 'cause it is, but the good news is she earned nearly $16 mil.

According to the docs, her biggest expenses include $122,613 for massages, grooming and nails ... $69,668 on wardrobe and $24,392 for hair and makeup. As much as she's been toning her bod ... the massages make sense.

Her pooches are still very well cared for -- $29,852 for the year, which is slightly down from the previous year.

As for shopping sprees ... she rarely spent more than a few hundred dollars at a time in Pottery Barn, Albertsons, Ralphs, Vons (lots o' groceries), Target and yes ... she had enough time to hit up Bed Bath & Beyond too.

Her total property and assets at year's end were $55,745,288 -- up about $5 million from 2015 -- and that number doesn't even include untold millions more in various trusts.

Taj Gibson has made nearly $40 MIL playing in the NBA -- so, he's a big baller -- but the Timberwolves stud says there's NO WAY he's droppin' $1,500 on LaVar Ball's new shoe!

For the record, LaVar hasn't debuted his upcoming "LaVar-icci" kicks yet -- but says the price tag will be more than 3 TIMES higher than his son Lonzo's ZO2s.

So, when we saw Gibson at LAX we had to ask ... you gonna cop these kicks or what!?

"No, I don't think I'll wear a pair," Taj says ... "But I'll probably show support."

Of course, Jay-Z recently threw his support behind BBB -- saying he was impressed with a black entrepreneur challenging massive athletic wear companies like Nike and Under Armour.

Still, ya gotta wonder if $1,500 is too much for Jay, too.
