Here's how they're pulling in that much on the daily ... our sources say there's not much overhead or significant expenses involved -- they paid a one time fee of about $7 to $8 million for all the graphics they use in their shows -- and they've more than recouped what they spent on creative.

The prosecutor was questioning Cardi about her and Emani Ellis' social media posts in the aftermath of an alleged altercation at a Beverly Hills obstetrician's office in 2018.

Cardi said her fans got wind of Ellis "posting lies" about the incident at the time, and she told the prosecutor she blew it off ... claiming Ellis is just trying to get money from her. When asked why she thinks the civil suit is a ploy for payment, Cardi bluntly said "because she's suing me for $24 million."

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding is still undoubtedly months away, but now that's it's a matter of "when" and not "if" ... gamblers can make a buck on it!!

The folks over at BetOnline.ag tell TMZ Sports, they're releasing some nuptial-themed betting odds now that Swift and Kelce are officially engaged.

One of the more intriguing options centers around the couple's bridal party -- as in, who will nab Best Man and Maid of Honor titles??

Kevin O'Leary's latest investment didn't come from a "Shark Tank" episode -- Mr. Wonderful and his buddies just coughed up a whopping $12.932 MILLION for the most expensive sports card in the world -- which features patches and autographs from Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant!!

The businessman revealed himself as one of the buyers in the historic purchase on CNBC on Monday ... saying he, Matt Allen and Paul Warshaw dug deep into their couch cushions to buy the super rare memorabilia.

Forbes estimates he now has a net worth of $1.1 billion.

Steve Smith is clearly trying his best to remain in good spirits as he faces a lawsuit for allegedly ruining a marriage earlier this year ... appearing to crack a joke about the situation while live on an NFL broadcast Thursday night.

The two-time All-Pro wideout was providing color commentary during the Panthers vs. Steelers game at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte ... when one of his boothmates started reading off a promo for Bojangles.

The ad ensured Panthers backers would get a free chicken sandwich if they scanned a QR code on their screens ... and when the convo turned to if Smith would add a few more food items to fans' bags on his dime, he seemed to reference how he's currently battling a civil case in the North Carolina court system.

Donald Trump has nabbed a major legal victory in his "yuge" civil fraud case ... a New York appeals court has just thrown out a half-billion dollar judgment against the president.

Why? Because the appeals court deemed the fine "excessive" ... with some of the judges noting it could've violated DT's Eighth Amendment rights -- which protects citizens from excessive bail, fines, and cruel and unusual punishment.

TMZ Sports has learned Joey Crack's Rewind It 10 recently brought Schaub, a top 10-ranked UFC heavyweight turned podcast host, on board ... and the rapper's stoked to get to work.

“Brendan Schaub brings authenticity to everything he does, so it was only right to have him join the winning team at Rewind It 10,” Joe told us.

“His influence as an athlete and podcaster is going to help us reach newer audiences and kill the stigma about men coloring their hair and beards.”

Schaub joins an already star-studded team ... with Travis Kelce, DJ Khaled, and Tyson Beckford, among others, already hocking the products.

Joe co-founded the company, which already has over $50 million in sales, in late 2023, motivated to knock out the stigma associated with hair dye.

Jay Cutler is adamant Kristin Cavallari received plenty of cash from him in their divorce years ago ... and he says her claiming otherwise is "borderline slander."

Cavallari told her "Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour" listeners earlier this summer she never got "a penny" from Cutler following their split ... but in the latest episode of his "Take It Outside" podcast, the former NFL star insisted that's B.S.

"Yeah, she didn't get a penny," he said with a smirk, before adding she actually got "a lot, a lot, a lot of [dollar] bills."

Kim Kardashian kickstarted her week by causing some serious cabin pressure -- 'cause she stripped down for one heck of a sky-high tease on her way to Korea!

The reality star's Monday IG was straight-up NSFW -- flying private with sister Khloé Kardashian and pal La La Anthony in fur coats, before stripping down in the jet bathroom to flaunt her famous cleavage.

Kim slipped in some major SKIMS promo for the near-naked snap -- rocking shapewear hiked up high, though it barely contained all that voluptuousness.

Fifty years later and "Jaws" still has a ferocious bite -- with Bruce the shark’s bug-eyed stare haunting us all the way to the auction block ... and you’re gonna need a great white green stack of cash to reel it in!

The OG animatronic eyes from one of the three full-size sharks will soon be up for grabs -- photo-matched to BTS shots, still on the original armature, and just as creepily lifeless as they were back in 1975.

Special effects legend Robert A. Mattey gifted the eyes to a neighbor in 1980 -- after they’d literally watched Bruce come to life in his garage. Decades later, the orbs are still holding up like they were built yesterday!

Brad Pitt's Los Angeles house -- the one that was broken into earlier this summer -- is officially on its way to a new owner ... but TMZ has learned the sale was already in motion well before the burglary.

Real estate sources tell us ... Pitt's hillside 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom Los Feliz property is currently in escrow in an off-market deal. We're told there was a flurry of interest as soon as word got out -- no surprise, considering the home has Hollywood history and Brad’s star power.

Brad purchased "The Steel House" from Aileen Getty ... who'd bought it from James Valentine of Maroon 5 in 2019.

Former WWE Superstar and two-time RAW Tag Team Champion Matt Riddle is raking in serious cash outside the ring -- thanks to a side hustle that's turning plenty of heads.

Riddle joined the latest episode of TMZ’s "Inside The Ring" podcast and revealed his OnlyFans account is doing "a lot" for his bank account, crediting much of the success to gay men who watch wrestling and find him "extremely attractive."

He says he keeps it pretty tame -- nothing "too crazy" -- usually just rocking a Speedo and doing workouts on camera ... but the results have been a huge financial win.
