Description:
Spending money has never been an issue for Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer. In 2014, the former Microsoft CEO bought the NBA team for a then-record $2 billion, a move that was widely seen as an overpay at the time (Forbes had most recently valued the Clippers at $575 million). This January, Ballmer shelled out more than $152 million to extend 32-year-old, All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard’s contract for another three seasons, and he is expected make similar moves with his other aging talents, Paul George, 33, and James Harden, 34. Next year, one of his crowning achievements will come to fruition, when the Clippers move into their new home, the $2 billion Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.<br/><br/>Despite the enormous bill Ballmer has racked up in a decade of team ownership, it’s barely dented his fortune. The 68-year-old is worth an estimated $121 billion, according to Forbes’ 2024 World’s Billionaires list, up from $80.7 billion in 2023. His 50% year-over-year wealth increase, primarily due to the stellar stock performance of Microsoft, has once again made Ballmer the richest sports team owner in the world.<br/><br/>The top spot was previously held by Mukesh Ambani, who owns the Mumbai Indians cricket team through his publicly traded conglomerate Reliance Industries. (Forbes has adjusted its methodology to exclude teams owned by public companies and, therefore, their shareholders. SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, owner of Japanese baseball’s Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, was left off for the same reason, as well as teams owned by giant private conglomerates, including Red Bull’s Formula 1 team and INEOS’ Manchester United and OGC Nice.)<br/><br/>Read the full story on Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/justinbirnbaum/2024/04/05/the-worlds-richest-sports-team-owners-2024/?sh=3d78f3ff309f<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.

_i-am-still-angry-with-you-the-girl-named-feriha.webp "Feriha does not forgive the Emir!<br/><br/>Emir, whose hands are tied with regret, asks for help from Koray, although he does not know what to do. While Koray and Gülsüm take Feriha to their house, Emir vargücü tries to apologize to Feriha, but Feriha doesn't even feel ready to see her yet. In the doorman's apartment, the subject is nothing but Feriha's crumbling marriage. Rıza, who does not want to deal with Feriha openly, is uneasy about Feriha leaving her house and assigns Hatice to call on her daughter to return to her husband. However, Hatice and Seher's visit, aside from making Feriha return to Emir's side, pushes Feriha to question her family and family values. Realizing that she is completely alone with her family's attitude, Feriha leaves all Emir's struggles unrequited with all her heartbreak and settles in a student dormitory. While Emir is taking all the opportunities to talk to Feriha, the first hearing of the case opened by Ünal to the Yılmaz family is going to be eventful. However, the real big event that everyone is unaware of is waiting for its turn to appear.<br/><br/>Feriha Yilmaz is an attractive, beautiful, talented and ambitious daughter of a poor family. Her father, Riza Yilmaz, is a janitor in Etiler, an upper-class neighbourhood in Istanbul. Her mother Zehra Yilmaz is a maid. Feriha studies at a private university with full scholarship. While studying at the university, Feriha poses as a rich girl. She meets a handsome and rich young man, Emir Sarrafoglu. Feriha lies about her life and her family background and Emir falls in love with her without knowing who she really is. She falls in love with him too and becomes trapped in her own lies.<br/><br/>Cast: Hazal Kaya, Çağatay Ulusoy,Vahide Perçin, Metin Çekmez,<br/>Melih Selçuk, Ceyda Ateş, Yusuf Akgün, Deniz Uğur, Barış Kılıç.<br/><br/>Production: Fatih Aksoy<br/>Director: Merve Girgin Neslihan Yeşilyurt<br/>Screenplay: Melis Civelek, Sırma Yanık")
