Money

Former NFL player Jeff Faine just listed his Florida pad for $3.9 million ... offering up a rare mix of luxury and country living in the Sunshine State!!

TMZ Sports has learned the 10-year NFL vet put the estate on the market this week with Marlene DeCespedes of Douglas Elliman ... and it's a stunning farmhouse built with a modern design.

The 5,772 square-foot property is located in Gotha, about 11 miles west of Orlando. The architecture is amazing ... with vaulted ceilings, custom wood beams and marble interior.

Alex Honnold says the money he made free solo climbing one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world was shockingly low.

The legendary rock climber revealed his payday for scaling Taipei 101 -- a 1,667 foot, 101-story tower -- was "embarrassingly small," especially when compared to the massive contracts earned by mainstream pro athletes. The death defying climb, which aired live on Netflix, earned Honnold a "mid six figures" payout, according to the New York Times.

Despite the modest check, Honnold says the money wasn't the motivation. In fact, he admitted he would've taken on the dangerous climb even without a paycheck if he had permission from the building.

8:15 PM PT -- A spokesperson for Lyft tells TMZ ... “We understand how distressing this situation is for the rider involved, and we take reports like this seriously. Lyft is in contact with the rider and we have permanently removed the driver from the platform."

Lyft continued ... "Using Lyft rides to transport or deliver unaccompanied goods is not permitted and violates our Terms of Service. In cases involving alleged misuse of the platform, Lyft has established processes to assist law enforcement, including helping them obtain relevant records and conducting internal investigations as appropriate."

"Euphoria" star Alanna Ubach says a Lyft driver told her he would deliver a package for her, and she took him at his word ... but he never showed up at the destination -- and she tells us she had over $1,000 cash inside.

Alanna tells TMZ ... this week, a Lyft driver in Hollywood promised her the ride-share app handles package delivery, so she sent him off with a parcel containing a bunch of money wrapped up in paper towels and tape ... but after that, she says, he ghosted her.

The actress says on the app, it looked like the driver got near the final destination, and then turned his phone off ... and the person expecting the package waited outside for 45 minutes after the scheduled drop-off, to no avail.

It was a high-stakes day at TMZ, when Harvey challenged UFC honcho Dana White to a high-stakes game of Blackjack.

Dana was here to promote Saturday's UFC 324 -- the first fight on Paramount+ -- featuring Gaethje vs. Pimblett.

Dana agreed to play the game that has made him a legend at Vegas casinos ... and it turned into a nail-biting contest of the expert vs. the novice. Harvey's decisions made it clear ... he didn't know what the hell he was doing.

We’re living in the era where one little clip can flip your entire life ... and Daymond John came through TMZ to break down how viral fame really hits, especially after that now-famous Dr. Pepper jingle lady.

Catch "TMZ Live" Thursday... 'cause the "Shark Tank" star breaks down the ultimate power of social media story -- user @romeosshow uploaded a 10-second TikTok clip after being inspired in a dream, and that went hugely viral ... and Dr. Pepper turned it into their official National Championship jingle. Insane.

Daymond drops some wild stats too -- saying we touch our phones hundreds of times a day -- and explains how social media is basically a giant testing lab, for people chasing fame and for brands hunting their next breakout star.

The convo even lit a fire under our own Harvey -- who took his own shot at viral glory ... with a jingle about diarrhea. Yes, really.

Dr. Terry Dubrow has been sued by a former patient who claims he caused severe bleeding in her that required two additional surgeries, after using a non-FDA approved mesh material for a breast augmentation he performed on her ... all the way back in 2014.

According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the woman says the famous doc stuffed her chest with unsafe, non-FDA approved SERI Surgical Scaffold mesh ... which a subsequent doctor says resulted in a hematoma in her right breast and required 2 surgeries to fix.

The plaintiff not only alleges she suffered physical injuries, but said she lost out on money because she could not work ... and had to shell out cash for the corrective surgeries. She is seeking reimbursement of her medial expenses and wants money for any future corrective procedures she may need ... in addition to damages for lost income.

David and Victoria Beckham are not fearful, or devastated, over son Brooklyn Beckham's prenuptial agreement with wife Nicola Peltz, despite reports suggesting otherwise ... cause TMZ has learned the narrative couldn't be further from the truth.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the Beckhams are not worried, afraid, or losing any sleep over Brooklyn's prenup. We're told it's the complete opposite ... both families were always supportive of a prenup, and no one involved views it as controversial, controlling, or alarming in any way.

The reports, first pushed by a UK tabloid, painted a dramatic picture claiming David and Victoria believe Brooklyn has been "absorbed" into the Peltz family, alienated from his own, and financially vulnerable if the marriage ends. One source even alleged Brooklyn was "being held captive" ... a claim our sources flat-out call ridiculous.

David Harbour and Lily Allen are officially closing the door on their Brooklyn chapter ... 'cause TMZ has learned the estranged couple has found a buyer for their NYC townhouse following their very public -- and very ugly -- breakup.

Sources with knowledge of the sale tell TMZ ... the former couple closed on the property for $7 million, after it went into contract earlier this week. The home was originally listed for $8 million back in October, before the price was slashed to $7.3 million in January, and now, it's finally off their hands.

The place isn't just any brownstone. The late 19th century 5-bedroom, 4-bath Carroll Gardens townhouse sits on one of the most sought-after blocks in the neighborhood. The 4-level home was purchased by the couple in 2021 for $3.35 million, then completely reimagined with AD100 designer Billy Cotton and architect Ben Bischoff of MADE.

But the timing of the sale is impossible to ignore. Harbour and Allen's breakup has been extremely messy, and Lily's new album, "West End Girl," appears to pull zero punches. The title track is reportedly all about this very townhouse, turning their one-time dream home into a symbol of everything that went wrong.

The winds are changing in the hot dog world ... because Nathan's Famous has just been sold to packaged meat company Smithfield Foods.

The fast-food company's top dogs must really be relishing the all-cash deal, too -- they sold Nathan's for a cool $450 million, The Associated Press reports.

FYI ... Nathan's Famous started out in 1916 as a hot dog stand in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York.

The family of the founder of Nathan's Famous sold the business to investors just over seven decades later, and it's grown ever since then. The founder's name is Nathan Handwerker, BTW.

As you know, Nathan's Famous hosts an annual hot dog-eating contest every Fourth of July in Coney Island, where glizzy gladiators like Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobayashi wolf down dogs in heart-stopping amounts.

Chestnut's won 17 out of 19 of the last competitions, setting a world record in 2021 after knocking back 76 hot dogs and buns.

Dana White says there's a lot of "goofy s***" that makes rounds in the MMA world ... and the biggest case of "goofy s***" at the moment?? Conor McGregor fighting Jorge Masvidal at the White House.

The chatter picked up this week ... with Gamebred even claiming the chances were "not looking bad" that he'd get a shot at Notorious at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. later this year.

That's news to Dana ... who would probably know if that matchup was a possibility.

Jennifer Lopez was in a giving mood Tuesday ... handing out some cold hard cash to a homeless man ... and it's all on video.

The "Jenny From The Block" singer was dressed to the nines and in full glam coming out of a business meeting in Los Angeles this afternoon when a homeless man approached her on her way to her waiting Cadillac Escalade, asking for help.

J Lo seemed to ignore the man at first, walking right by him ... but he was thrilled to see her, and was overheard saying he was going to tell everyone he saw a celeb.

Mickey Rourke has some strong words for a person who worked for him following his recent eviction drama … alleging a female employee set up a fundraiser in Mickey's name for her own gain!

We caught up with Mickey out exercising in L.A. over the weekend, asking "The Wrestler" actor about the six-digit sum of money raised through GoFundMe ... which he's said he wants no part of.

Mickey says … "It was all a scam. That whole thing about the money was something that somebody who worked for me did to try and keep money for herself."

If you ever dreamed of living like a baller, here's your shot ... WNBA great Angel McCoughtry just listed her stunning Georgia home for $1.2 million!!!

TMZ Sports has learned the 5,000-square-foot estate, built in 2004, is located in Smyrna, GA ... which is only 17 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta.

The Craftsman crib is packed with classic Southern charm, featuring high ceilings, rich texture, an expansive open layout, a fireplace and a screened-in porch.

Former "All That" star Angelique Bates warned followers that Kianna Underwood was homeless in New York City and needed help years before her brutal death on Friday.

Check out Angelique's Instagram video from November 2023 -- she tells followers her fellow child actor desperately needed assistance, and called out members of the "All That" crew for not doing anything to comfort her.

While she didn't name names, Angelique accused people who appeared on "All That" of acting like cast members are one big family, and then being selective with who they try to help. She also did not reveal who else on the Nickelodeon sketch show was in a similar situation to Kianna, but was receiving aid.

Gene Hackman's New Mexico estate is officially up for sale ... less than a year after he and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, were found dead in the sprawling compound.

Gene and Betsy's Santa Fe house -- which sits on a 53-acre estate in The Land of Enchantment -- has hit the market with an asking price of $6.25 million.

At the time of their deaths, police body cam footage showed the place was in shambles, with rat feces and urine everywhere. But, we're told the place has been completely cleaned up and looks absolutely amazing now!

Federal prosecutors say some college hoops games were straight-up rigged ... and they just dropped the hammer.

According to a bombshell indictment unsealed Thursday, 20 men have been charged in a jaw-dropping point-shaving and bribery scheme that allegedly corrupted at least 39 Division I players, 17 schools and nearly 30 rigged matchups over the last two seasons.

Prosecutors claim the operation was run by Shane Hennen and Marves Fairley -- two guys already deep in other federal gambling cases -- with help from former LSU and NBA player Antonio Blakeney.
