MARK ZUCKERBERG DOESN’T WANT TO GO TO PRISON

According to Vanity Fair, American billionaires are falling all over themselves, buttering up Donald Trump with fistfuls of money. It seems like the logical way to deal with someone who could be a threat to their companies. Elon Musk was first in line and has so far donated 277 million to the new President. (He’s now considered “family”) Recently, tech CEO Mark Zuckerberg (who is mighty fussy about Facebook posts) donated a million dollars to Trump’s inauguration fund, in spite of the fact that Trump had threatened to toss Zuckerberg into prison “for life” for banning him from Facebook. Jeff Bezos loudly congratulated Trump on his win and says he feels “optimistic.” Who will be next to buddy up to our president?

JOCELYNE WILDENSTEIN IN PARIS

Former billionaire Jocelyne Wildenstein, 84, and her longtime fiance, fashion designer Lloyd Klein, 57, are still living it up in Paris – hitting designer shops by day, and famous clubs and restaurants in the evening. Jocelyne was granted 2.5 billion when she divorced her wealthy husband, art dealer Alec N Wildenstein, in 1999, but after he died a few years later, she claims she was cut off by his family and was broke. How much money she has spent on plastic surgery and facial injections can only be speculated, but she still has enough money to vacation in style in Paris. Jocelyne’s face might be a warning to anyone considering having their face plumped “just one more time”…

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Katy Perry was honored at the VMAs this past week with the Vanguard Award, (lifetime achievement) and Taylor Swift was seen in the audience singing and dancing along to the performance. This made headlines because the gals went from best friends to enemies after a well publicized spat over back-up dancers. They recently buried the hatchet, and there’s a reason Taylor was so animated in the audience while Katy performed – they are planning to do a DUET together. We just heard about the top secret plan and the single will be released in early 2025.

Speaking of Taylor Swift, the weeks’ biggest news was her endorsement of Kamala Harris. We recently revealed her boyfriend Travis Kelce was planning to follow in her footsteps and endorse the Democratic nominee as well, but we just heard that plan has hit a snag. Travis plays for the Kansas City Chiefs and the owners are Trump supporters. Poor Travis is facing a real-life Sophie’s Choice, either disappoint his girlfriend or the people who sign his paycheck. My source says he is still hoping for a way to endorse Kamala without officially endorsing her, which means expect to see him at one of her upcoming rallies.

Selena Gomez made the news this week when it was revealed she was worth approximately $1 billion thanks to her line of beauty products. According to our source, Selena is wasting no time spending her newfound fortune. She just began looking at homes in Montecito, California, right down the street from where Oprah Winfrey resides. My source explains that her goal is to get married and have a child via surrogate in 2025 and she loves the idea of raising a family in the affluent coastal community.

Donald Trump made headlines for his disastrous debate performance against Kamala Harris and he just announced he won’t be participating in any more debates. We just heard this scoop though. Kamala had accepted a few offers to debate Trump on NBC and she still plans on showing up to spread HER message to the American people even if Trump is a no show.

Finally, Jennifer Lopez made headlines when she appeared in Toronto at her Unstoppable movie premiere alongside Matt Damon but without her estranged husband Ben Affleck. (Ben, Matt, and Jen all produced the film). J.Lo and Matt were seen clasping hands engulfed in conversation and we just heard they weren’t talking about their movie. My source says Matt is devastated that Ben and Jen are calling it quits and he was encouraging her to work it out. We have all seen Ben’s history of spiraling when he’s single, and Matt is fearful Ben will fall off the sober wagon once he faces the reality of being alone again. Jennifer still loves Ben but our source says his mood swings became too much for her to handle. The ONLY way she’s calling off the divorce is if he checks into a treatment center and gets his moods under control.

NICOLE PELTZ BECKHAM SPARES NO EXPENSE

Nicole Peltz Beckham knows how to toss a party. The 29-year-old heiress/actress, who is married to fellow trust-fund spawn Brooklyn Beckham, is starring in the movie Lola, that she also wrote and directed herself. She’s debuted the movie in Los Angeles on Saturday, February 3, and  hosted the screening and after party. For those lucky enough to be invited, this wasn’t  the typical free popcorn and candy movie screening. Following in her billionaire dad’s footsteps, Nicole  hosted an over-the-top soirée at The Beverly Hills Hotel, and she spent  half a million dollars on the party! Suddenly Brooklyn has a wife who is more famous and successful than HE is!

RIHANNA HAS COME A LONG WAY, BABY

Rihanna looks ultra-confident as she steps out for an evening in New York. And she should. Rihanna’s only 34 and she’s already the second best-selling female music artist of all time. The FIRST best-selling female happens to be Rihanna’s idol and her biggest influence – Madonna. Rihanna admits she patterned her career after Madonna and it has made her a billionaire. Now she has bypassed Taylor Swift and nabbed the prestigious job of performing at the Super Bowl halftime 2023. She’s come a LONG way since Chris Brown

KYLIE JENNER DECEIVED FORBES MAGAZINE – SHE’S NOT A BILLIONAIRE!

How funny is the news that Kylie Jenner and her mother Kris Jenner submitted FAKE documents to Forbes magazine so she could claim the title of Youngest Billionaire – thanks to her cosmetic company? She stole the title from Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, who became a billionaire at 23. The situation illustrates just how FAR the Kardashians will go to gain publicity. Lying is obviously never out of the question – remember, Kylie lied about her lip fillers for years before reluctantly telling the truth. Caught in the act, Kylie was dismissive and responded to Forbes “We’re in a pandemic- don’t you have bigger things to think about?”

KANYE WEST IS CRAZY JEALOUS OF KYLIE JENNERS SUCCESS!

We didn’t realize that Kanye West was steaming mad when Forbes magazine’s annual Billionaire’s List featured Kylie Jenner, but NOT HIM! West said he felt “snubbed” and “disrespected” and immediately sent Forbes information documenting his assets, along with a grammatically challenged text complaining that they didn’t give him credit “because of his race.” Forbes examined his information and calculated his worth at slightly over a billion dollars, but Kanye insists they can’t add – he’s worth 3 billion and wants to flaunt it!

LAUREN SANCHEZ JUST COULDN’T KEEP A SECRET!

We have to congratulate The National Enquirer for their fabulous scoop on the world’s richest man, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. Married Jeff has been besotted with beautiful TV presenter and entrepreneur Lauren Sanchez and sneaking around with her for at least eight months. (Bezos and Lauren’s husband Patrick Whitesell had been friends) Lauren was so thrilled with the romance that she showed her friends naked photos and love messages that Jeff texted her. Naughty girl! ONE of those friends couldn’t resist leaking the info to The National Enquirer a few months ago and the tabloid immediately started investigating and documenting the torrid romance, which they recently revealed with a flourish! Nicely done!

HOW TO DRAW ATTENTION TO YOUR WEDDING: HIRE BEYONCE


Getting married in India has turned into a huge competition for the MOST glamour and extravagance – at least among the billionaire families. The richest man in India, Mukesh Ambani, (net worth 43.4 billion) was determined to have the biggest and best event for his daughter Isha, who married another billionaire. The invitations were fancy chests full of gifts. The 100 million dollar week-long party included entertainment by Beyonce. IMAGINE how much she must have been paid! Isha, a Yale graduate, now will presumably leave the 27 story home she grew up in, which includes multi level gardens and 3 helipads! It’s both fascinating and horrifying…
