Shannon Sharpe says he could have been a billionaire if he had moved forward with an investment in Google. During an episode of Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast, which featured billionaire businessman Mark Cuban, the host reveals he lucked out of a six-figure investment in Google after receiving advice from his financial team. The opportunity to invest in what has become a major tech giant was while he was in the NFL signed to the Baltimore Ravens. He was under a four-year contract — although he remained with the team for only two seasons, during 2000 and 2001. The contract was valued at $13.8 million, which encompassed a 4.5 million signing bonus and $4.5 million guaranteed, according to Spotrac. “I remember when Google came out and they thought shares were gonna open up at about $85 a share. And I remember sending it to my financial guys, and I was like — ‘Oh, you know what?’ I had just signed with the Ravens, so I had some money. And I was like, ‘Man, I’d like to buy $300,000...

Tyler Perry is known for bringing comedic relief to characters and situations that can be tough to navigate. This process is meant to make things that are hard to deal with more palatable. His character Madea is often the center of the comedy in Perry’s work. Ironically, one of Madea’s many funny but memorable moments is centered around death. In one of Perry’s productions, the outspoken grandmother was confronted with the end of a loved one and boldly stated a phrase that had people in stitches but also had them a little confused. “People dying that ain’t never died before.” And while that statement doesn’t make much sense in a structured way, the theory behind it alludes to the unpredictable nature of death.
