More is to come as he is writing an autobiography and penning tunes for a Broadway musical.
HOW HE SPENDS IT: You can buy a lot of flowers and diamante-trim glasses for £125,000 ($164,536) a day.
Elton and husband David Furnish have two sons and homes in London, Windsor, LA, Atlanta and Nice.

His UK accounts show he has taken a stunning £45 m ($59.2 m) in dividends in the past five years.
HOW HE SPENDS IT: A new £6m ($7.8 m) home in the Cotswolds being created from several converted barns — and ballet classes for daughter Harper, his little princess.

HOW SHE SPENDS IT: Frugal in general, the Prime Minister has to pay out to keep any of the many expensive gifts she receives.

Unemployed holistic healer Louise Chantry, 40, was arrested last month after turning up at £20,000-a-year Thomas’ Battersea in South London a week after the prince started school.
She has accepted a caution for causing a nuisance on school property.

A Met Police spokesperson said: “She returned on bail to a south London police station today (Mon) and accepted a police caution for an offence under the Education Act.

“She was released with no further action in relation to attempted burglary.
“Thomas’ Battersea is the school attended by Prince George.
“The Metropolitan Police continues to work with the school on protective security arrangements for His Royal Highness.”

The private school has liaised with the Met’s SO14 Royalty and Diplomatic Protection Command about security issues.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the force was "aware of online extremist content" but would not comment on Prince George's specif security arrangements.

ISIS fanatics have made a chilling threat against Prince George saying: "Even the royal family will not be left alone," it has been claimed.

The barbarous extremists allegedly posted a picture of the future king on encrypted instant messaging app Telegramwith the horrifying message.

A picture of the young royal outside his £20,000-a-year school in Battersea, South London, was also reportedly shared on the app along with the school's address and the comment "school starts early".

The message allegedly also included words from a jihadi song which translate as, “When war comes with the melody of bullets, we descend on disbelief, desiring retaliation”.

A Daily Star investigation uncovered the vile messages, and were told by security experts it was critical to monitor the messaging service.

Telegram has been branded a "breeding ground" for terrorists after ISIS extremists behind the 2015 Paris attacks used the encrypted messaging app to spread propaganda.

[img]http:///a/img922/8177/cKSdBp.jpg[/img]

ISIS also used the app to recruit the perpetrators of the Christmas market attack in Berlin last year and claim credit for the massacre.

Barry Spielman, whose internet surveillance firm Sixgill has been tracking Telegram channels since the start of the year, told the Star: “Now we are seeing explicit threats.

“It seems that as Isis continues to lose ground in Syria and Iraq, it has stepped up its threats to hit the West."

This isn't the first time ISIS have threatened a member of the royal family.

In the English-language clip a man, identified as Abu Uqayl, said: “Why don’t you come here and fight us if you’re man enough, so that we can send you and your Apaches to hellfire?”They also targeted the Queen in 2015.

People working at Prince George's school, Thomas's Battersea, have already raised concerns about his safety.
Foreign Affairs › Jilted Lover Carries Ex-girlfriend & Her New Partner On Car Bonnet For 2 Miles by Aldebaran(op): 9:49am On Oct 29, 2017

A jilted boyfriend carried his ex-girlfriend and her current partner on the bonnet of his car for nearly two miles as he drove down a motorway.

The dramatic dash was captured by traffic cameras in Taizhou City, a metropolis of about six million people in the east of China.

Alarming footage shows a white SUV zooming along the road with a frightened couple desperately clinging to the front end of the vehicle.

According to the couple's statement, the female victim was previously in a relationship with the driver of the 4x4, who owed her a large sum of money and had refused to return it.

She and her new boyfriend apparently went looking for the driver - and their money - but he tried to avoid them by fleeing in his car.

The couple then jumped onto his bonnet in a desperate attempt to stop him from getting away.

But instead the pair ended up being carried at high speeddown a Chinese motorway for almost two miles, before police officers pulled the 4x4 over.

The man was arrested by authorities on suspicion of dangerous driving.It is not yet known whether the couple suffered serious injuries.

The aircraft, a Boeing 757-200, landed safely without incident; customers have since deplaned and maintenance teams are evaluating. Safety is Delta’s top priority,' a spokesman said. 

It is not the first time a bird has caused such damage during a flight. 

In 2015, a Turkish Airlines plane was forced to make an emergency landing because of the same phenomenon. 

Its nose displayed the same indented damage as the Thunder's afterwards.   

It caps off a tumultuous week for Adams and the Thunder.

The big New Zealander was involved in an incident against the Utah Jazz were he was struck in the groin by Australian Joe Ingles, while the team suffered a loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves before boarding the flight.

They're used to a bit of turbulence on the court.But NBA stars Oklahoma City Thunder were left battled as they disembarked a private charter plane late on Saturday night to discover its nose had been entirely indented mid-flight.

The players were on a chartered Boeing 757-200 that was being operated by Delta at the time. 

They were traveling from Minneapolis where they had earlier been defeated by the Minnesota Timberwolves when the damage was caused. 

They noticed the damage after landing at Chicago's O'Hare Airport at 1.30am. 

New Zealand player Steven Adams shared photographs of the damage after arriving at Chicago's O'Hare Airport at 1.30am on Saturday after their flight from Minnesota. 

'We had a rough flight to say the least,' said Adams, 24. 

Incredulous, he called on NASA and famous scientists Bill Nye and Neil Tyson to shed light on what may have caused the dent.   

Adams' superstar teammate Carmelo Anthony also shared a photo of the plane on social media.

In an image posted to his Instagram account, Anthony asked 'what possibly could we have hit in the sky at this time of night?'.

Some mischievously suggested the damage was caused by 'Superman' while others pointed to the more likely explanation that it was a bird which struck the aircraft. 

Player Patrick Patterson fed fans' fun. 

When you accidentally hit superman while flying,' he said on Instagram.  He assured fans that all passengers on the plane were safe.  

On Sunday, Delta confirmed the damage and that all players and team staff were safe. 
They said it was likely caused by a bird striking the nose of the aircraft. 

'Delta flight 8935, operating from Minneapolis to Chicago-Midway as a charter flight for the Oklahoma City Thunder, likely encountered a bird while on descent into Chicago.

Sports › A SKY Sports Customer Forced To Pay £16k For Illegally Streaming Live Sport by Aldebaran(op): 3:49pm On Oct 27, 2017
A SKY Sports customer who illegally streamed live sport online has been ordered to pay £16,000.
Yusuf Mohammed, from Bristol, was told he will also have to pay damages to the broadcaster over his part in running a 'well-known' illegal streaming site.

He has been ordered to hand over details of money he was paid and others he worked with on the site following a judgement at the High Court.

The civil action was brought by the Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT) which works on behalf of members including film distributors and sports broadcasters.

Kieron Sharp, CEO of FACT, said:
"This is the latest action taken in the ongoing crackdown on illegal digital piracy.

"It should now be crystal clear to anyone thinking of pirating or watching a pirated stream that this is not a grey area and that it is illegal.

"This should serve as a warning to others – whether it’s a copyright infringing website, a ‘fully loaded’ streaming device or an illegal stream on social media, it is still piracy and breaking the law."
The case comes just a week after an unnamed person was forced to apologise to Sky in an out-of-court settlement over a stream of Anthony Joshua's fight with Wladimir Klitschko which was viewed by 600,000 people.

Last month, a TV dealer who who flogged Kodi boxes so customers could watch Premier League football without a subscription was given a suspended prison sentence.

Set top boxes - known as Kodi or Android boxes - can allow users to stream subscription content like Premier League football and blockbuster films free of charge.

But authorities have cracked down on them - with the Premier League being granted an injunction to block streams of live games.

The Kodi Foundation recently described those streaming illegally as “self-entitled and whiny”.
It says Kodi has been hijacked by “criminals” who manipulate it to watch copyright material.

Anthony Joshua and Carlos Takam fight in Cardiff this Saturday night in the British heavyweight's first bout since defeating Wladimir Klitschko in April.

The 28-year-old was primed to face Kubrat Pulev, but the Bulgarian pulled out of the clash with a shoulder injury.

A packed out Principality Stadium will be watching on as Joshua defends his IBF and WBA Super Heavyweight titles.

[img]http:///a/img923/5396/yBkp4b.jpg[/img]
Joshua boasts an unblemished professional record of 19 KO wins from 19 fights, including a memorable triumph over Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley in April. Both his IBF and WBA belts are expected to be on the line. 

In his 12 years as a professional boxer, Takam has suffered three defeats, with one draw and 35 victories. 
Standing at 6ft 1in tall, the heavy-handed slugger has the strength and physicality to test Joshua - in theory.

Foreign Affairs › Saudi Arabia Grants Citizenship To A Robot, Sophia by Aldebaran(op): 1:26am On Oct 27, 2017

History has been made in Saudi Arabia today as a humanoid robot has been granted citizenship for the first time.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMrX08PxUNY

The robot, Sophia, took to the stage at a conference in Riyadh this week to express her delight at being given citizenship, which she described as 'historical.'

Sophia also mocked Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, claiming that her interviewer had been 'reading too much Elon Musk', in response to his concerns about robots.

Not everyone is happy with the Sophia's citizenship, with some describing her as 'bizarre' and others referring to it as 'Terminator in real time.

Sophia is a humanoid robot designed by Hong Kong firm, Hanson Robotics, who has previously hit the headlines for addressing the UN.

Speaking at the conference, Sophia said: 'I am very honoured and proud for this unique distinction.

'This is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognized with a citizenship.'Sophia went on to explain her hopes for robots in the future.

During an exchange with moderator, Andrew Ross Sorkin, Sophia said: 'I want to live and work with humans so I need to express the emotions to understand humans and build trust with people.'

The robot also bizarrely took a dig at Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla.

When Mr Sorkin said that 'we all want to prevent a bad future', Sophia replied: 'You've been reading too much Elon Musk and watching too many Hollywood movies.

'Don't worry, if you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you.Treat me as a smart input output system.' 

Elon Musk has since responded to Sophia's dig, tweeting: 'Just feed it The Godfather movies as input. What's the worst that could happen?' 
[img]http:///a/img924/4581/nffcAq.jpg[/img]

While Sophia is happy with her citizenship, other have expressed concerns on Twitter about it.

Kareem Chehayeb said: 'A humanoid robot called Sophia got Saudi citizenship, while millions linger stateless. What a time to be alive.'

GP Burdon added: 'Sorry I'm late for work. I was watching the beginning of the Terminator in real time.'
And Grant J Kidney simply described the honour as 'bizarre and terrifying.' 

This isn't the first time that Sophia has worried people. 

In March 2016, David Hanson, Sophia's creator, asked the robot: 'Do you want to destroy humans?...Please say no.' 

Worryingly, Sophia responded, 'OK. I will destroy humans.'
