			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jay-Z and Beyonce are sparing no expense when it comes to their unborn bundle of joy and have already spent a cool million bucks making sure B and the baby are getting the best of care.<span id="more-170482"></span></p>
<p>Reports <a href="http://www.thisis50.com/profiles/blogs/report-jay-z-amp-beyonce-have-already-spent-1-million-on-their?id=784568%3ABlogPost%3A27906123&#038;page=3#comments">This is 50</a>:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ebengregory.com/newsite/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/BeyonceJayZ.jpg" alt="" title="BeyonceJayZ" width="500" height="375" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-170483" /></p>
<blockquote><p>“Beyoncé’s waited a long time to have a baby and she’s determined to take good care of herself,” a source told DailyStab. “She’s paying a dietician to organize a food plan of natural organic meals for her, she’s having daily massages and she’s spent a fortune on lotions to prevent stretchmarks and keep her feeling good. Beyoncé’s been told to look after herself like never before and Jay-Z’s making sure she has everything she needs.”</p>
<p>Money isn&#8217;t an issue for the power couple, who are estimated to be worth nearly a billion dollars. So a few million spent to insure the health of their future offspring is small change.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>I see said the blind man.  And now&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>This is EbenGregory.com&#8230;telling you it&#8217;s a shame how much people are hating on this unborn baby. </p>

<p>Reports <a href="http://www.thisis50.com/profiles/blogs/tyler-perry-is-hollywood-s-cash-king-as-he-tops-forbes-highest">MTV</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>How did Perry make it to the top with $130 million over the past year? Thanks to fat checks from his TV shows, &#8220;Meet the Browns&#8221; and &#8220;House of Payne,&#8221; as well as his hit series of movies based around his drag character Madea and his upcoming rare acting role as the titular detective in I, Alex Cross.</p>
<p>Just behind Perry is über-producer Jerry Bruckheimer at $113 million, which comes from his take for the $1 billion-grossing fourth installment of the &#8220;Pirates of the Caribbean&#8221; franchise, as well as his hand in producing a number of hit TV shows, including &#8220;The Amazing Race&#8221; and the &#8220;CSI&#8221; franchise.</p>
<p>Legendary director Steven Spielberg is third with $107 million, earned in part from his upcoming pair of big-budget films, &#8220;War Horse&#8221; and &#8220;The Adventures of Tintin.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fourth is the only musician on the list, piano pounder Elton John ($100 million), whose riches come from his back catalog and a world tour that grossed $204 million.</p>
<p>&#8220;X Factor&#8221; judge/creator Simon Cowell is clearly not hurting since his departure from &#8220;American Idol,&#8221; as he rounds out the top five with $90 million.</p>
<p>Also in the top 10: author James Patterson ($84 million), TV talker Dr. Phil McGraw ($80 million), DiCaprio ($77 million), satellite radio titan Howard Stern ($76 million) and disgraced golfer Tiger Woods ($75 million).</p></blockquote>
<p>I see said the blind man.  And now&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles agreed on a six-year contract on Monday that again makes the Pro Bowl quarterback one of the highest-paid players in the NFL.<span id="more-169691"></span></p>
<p><script src="http://player.espn.com/player.js?pcode=1kNG061cgaoolOncv54OAO1ceO-I&#038;width=576&#038;height=324&#038;externalId=espn:6907859"></script></p>
<p>Reports ESPN:</p>
<blockquote><p>
A league source told ESPN&#8217;s Andrew Brandt the deal is worth $100 million and a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that it contains roughly $40 million guaranteed.</p>
<p>Vick has come a long way since spending 18 months in federal prison on dogfighting charges. He led the Eagles to the NFC East title last year, was the starting quarterback in the Pro Bowl and was the AP Comeback Player of the Year.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m very happy we were able to reach an agreement with Michael on this long-term contract,&#8221; Eagles coach Andy Reid said in a statement. &#8220;It&#8217;s a product of all the hard work Michael has done to better himself over the last couple of years, both on and off the field. I&#8217;m very proud that he has been able to achieve success again in this league, but he&#8217;ll be the first one to tell you that there is a lot of work yet to be done by him and this team as a whole.</p>
<p>&#8220;And there&#8217;s no doubt in my mind that he will continue on that path.&#8221;</p>
<p>Vick was due to earn slightly more than $16 million this season after the Eagles designated him the franchise player in February. He&#8217;ll make a little less, possibly giving the Eagles salary cap flexibility to give Pro Bowl wide receiver DeSean Jackson an extension.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>And now&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>This is EbenGregory.com&#8230;telling you 1 Superbowl win makes this contract valid.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 1996, Apple Computer, the venerable founder of the personal computer, was struggling to stay afloat.  Now, 15 years later, Apple is the most valuable company in the world in terms of market capitalization.<span id="more-169043"></span></p>
<p><img src="http://www.ebengregory.com/newsite/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/apple.jpg" alt="" title="apple" width="500" height="500" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-169044" /></p>
<blockquote><p>
The maker of iPhones, iPads and Macs, passed Exxon Mobil, the energy company, to take the title as the stock market’s most valued company. At 2:30 p.m., Apple’s stock was $366.62, up $10.66, or 3.02 percent, giving it a market valuation of $337.11 billion. Exxon Mobil was $68.90, down $1.45, or 2.07 percent, with a market valuation of $333.54 billion, nearly $4 billion less than Apple.</p>
<p>Just three weeks ago Apple was $50 billion shy of  being crowned with the title of the world’s most valuable company. But that was before oil prices started falling and a broad stock market sell-off that drove Exxon’s stock price down faster than Apple’s fell.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>And now&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>This is EbenGregory.com&#8230;telling you it is certainly a welcome news to see a tech co. top the “giant” oil co. Oil is such a yesteryear tech. We need to find better ways to generate, distribute and use energy, in order to have a sustainable future.  But what do I know.  I&#8217;m just a jeweler.</p>

<p>Reports <a href="http://blogs.forbes.com/zackomalleygreenburg/2011/08/09/cash-kings-2011-hip-hops-top-earners/">Forbes</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Fueled by the tail end of his Blueprint 3 Tour and a vast portfolio of business interests, Jay-Z barely edged second-ranked Diddy—who raked in $35 million, roughly half of that total coming from a lucrative partnership with Diageo’s Ciroc vodka—but handily topped West, who earned $16 million. The duo is steaming ahead with plans for co-headlining tour starting this fall.</p>
<p>“Jay-Z and Kanye are hip-hop ambassadors,” says Steve Stoute, chief of branding firm Translation and author of The Tanning of America. “They bring the art form around the world, and they’ve taken production and everything to the next level. Now they’ve got a chance to grow with their global audience.”</p></blockquote>
<p>I see said the blind man.  And now&#8230;here&#8217;s the rest of the list via <a href="http://rapfix.mtv.com/2011/08/09/jay-z-diddy-top-forbes-hip-hop-cash-kings-list/">MTV</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Right behind Jay is Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was just short of the top spot by raking in a cool $35 million. Kanye West came in at a respectable but still distant third with $16 million.</p>
<p>YMCMB brethren Lil Wayne and Birdman rang in at fourth and fifth place respectively but tying the same numbers in earning $14 million each. Rounding out the top ten is Eminem, Snoop Dogg, R&#038;B singer Akon and rapper/actor Ludacris. Wiz Khalifa makes the list for the first time at eleventh spot, earning $11 million dollars with the rapper’s heavy tour schedule boosting his visibility and album sales.</p>
<p>Young Money is represented well in the top 20 as Canadian heartthrob Drake tied Wiz with $11 million in earnings in claiming the twelfth spot. Rounding out the rest of the list are Pharrell Williams, Timbaland, Swizz Beatz, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, Cash King top earning record holder 50 Cent, Pitbull T-Pain and B.o.B. </p>
<p>1. Jay-Z – $37 million<br />
2. Diddy – $35 million<br />
3. Kanye West – $16 million<br />
4. Lil Wayne, Birdman – $15 million<br />
6. Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg – $14 million<br />
9. Akon – $13 million<br />
10. Ludacris – $12 million<br />

		<description><![CDATA[Behold&#8230;a $100 million dollar ATM receipt. An ATM receipt showing a balance of nearly $100 million dollars was discovered at a New York bank. The receipt, dated June 18, doesn&#8217;t list the account holder&#8217;s name but does indicate that the person has $99,864,731.94 in a personal savings account (that&#8217;s after a $400 withdrawal and a [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Behold&#8230;a $100 million dollar ATM receipt.  An ATM receipt showing a balance of nearly $100 million dollars was discovered at a New York bank. <span id="more-167438"></span></p>
<p><img src="http://www.ebengregory.com/newsite/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/rec.jpg" alt="" title="rec" width="475" height="475" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-167439" /></p>
<blockquote><p>The receipt, dated June 18, doesn&#8217;t list the account holder&#8217;s name but does indicate that the person has $99,864,731.94 in a personal savings account (that&#8217;s after a $400 withdrawal and a $2.75 service charge).</p>
<p>Is the receipt a mistake of some kind? Perhaps. Anyone with that amount of cash would know that keeping $100 million in a savings account isn&#8217;t the wisest investment move. Savings accounts are only guaranteed by the federal government for amounts up to $250,000.</p>
<p>A buzzy article from The New York Post speculates that the holder of the account may be Wall Street investor David Tepper. When contacted by The New York Post, Tepper denied ownership of the receipt and pointed out that he &#8220;would never do something as irresponsible as leaving $100 million in a savings account.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>And now&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>This is EbenGregory.com&#8230;telling you that Capital One is probably like too bad they don&#8217;t bank with us; there was an ATM fee.</p>
