Chris Brown asked a court to excuse him from an examination, arguing that his nationwide tour created a scheduling conflict. His former housekeeper, Maria Avila, wants to review his finances in connection with a $13 million judgment against him.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Brown opposed appearing in court. Avila wants to examine his finances and bank statements as she seeks to determine how Brown could pay the judgment.
Brown argued that his current touring schedule created a conflict and that he could not simply take time away. The singer also said discussions were underway about extending the tour. Brown is currently touring alongside Usher.
The examination was scheduled at the Van Nuys courthouse. Brown argued that he could not be forced to attend there and said he lives in Las Vegas. The singer said his home was more than 150 miles away.
Avila is seeking to collect the $13 million judgment. The award stemmed from allegations involving a dog attack that allegedly occurred at Brown's Los Angeles home.

When Treasury yields reach multiyear highs, some investors get nervous. Higher bond yields are triggered by lower bond prices, and the effects are felt across the financial spectrum: from investing in stocks and bonds to borrowing costs and savings returns.
Global bond yields are gripping markets, jumping back to their highest level in almost two decades as higher oil prices, inflation fears, and heavy government borrowing continue to add pressure.
Here is how rising Treasury yields could impact your finances, including mortgages, credit cards, and car loans.
The Treasury yield is the return an investor receives for lending money to the government — for example, 4.5% on a 10-year Treasury note.

LONDON, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Government borrowing costs from the United States to Germany and ***** an are at or near multi-decade peaks on heightened worries about inflation and rising interest rates, along with nagging anxiety about their debt loads.
Elevated bond yields could squeeze households ‌and companies as well as exacerbating government finances.
Here's a look at what's behind the move in some major economies.

Jonathan ******* inga picked the Minnesota Timberwolves over the Los Angeles Lakers, a move that stunned fans expecting a bigger paycheck. The 23-year-old forward signed a two-year, $12.4 million deal that includes a player option for the 2027-28 season. This structure lets him test free agency again next summer when more teams will have cash to spend.
His agent, Aaron Turner, told The Athletic that defense was the main reason for the switch. Turner said, "Ant was super active in the recruitment of him," referring to Anthony Edwards' role in the process. Edwards focused his message on the team's defensive identity rather than just offense.
Turner explained that while everyone else looked at the offensive side of the ball, ******* inga and his team looked at the defensive end. "He made this decision because of the defensive versatility of this team," Turner stated. The Lakers offered a sign-and-trade that would have locked ******* inga into a three-year deal worth $12 million a year. Minnesota offered a shorter path to a massive payday later. ******* inga wants to prove he can guard multiple positions before signing a long-term contract in 2027. The Timberwolves need that specific skill set to win now, and ******* inga sees a clear role where he can shine.
This choice follows a pattern of ******* inga turning down safer options to bet on his future value. Before leaving the Golden State Warriors, he declined a three-year, $75 million extension. According to reports, prioritizing finances over the game doesn't sustain the ability to generate increasing revenue. The Warriors didn't offer a clear starting role, so ******* inga felt he couldn't bet on himself there. He took the shortest option available, which eventually led to his trade to the Atlanta Hawks and then to Minnesota.
The Hawks declined his $24.3 million team option, making him an unrestricted free agent. Now, he faces a new challenge in Minnesota alongside stars like Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels. This mindset fits a team that prioritizes winning over individual numbers. ******* inga knows he must play well to maximize his next contract, and the Timberwolves provide the right system to show off his two-way potential.

In April 2026, wallets, purses, and other belongings started disappearing out of cars parked around fitness centers across Fairfax County in Alexandria, Virginia, according to The Alexandria Brief (1). In late June, the Alexandria Police Department arrested a man who they say was taking these belongings from unlocked cars and using stolen credit cards to purchase gift cards at nearby retailers before the victims realized their things had been stolen.
While cash and credit cards are the obvious targets in wallet theft, your personal identification may be even more valuable in the wrong hands. Documents often found in your wallet, like your social security card, driver's license, and health insurance card can give thieves access to your identity and finances. If left unchecked, you could be liable for the damage someone else causes in your name.

The biggest theme this earnings season for retailers was trade-offs: between price and profit, promotions and growth, and getting customers through the door while household budgets are under pressure.
For the luckiest and best-executing companies, the value proposition drew consumers in.
With gas prices eating into wallets, the trade-down or value proposition of stores like Target (TGT) and Dollar General (DG) made an otherwise tough shopping choice easier to manage.
A twist this season was the impact of tariff refunds. Sure, fat checks from Uncle Sam padded corporate finances. But the refunds also brought in skepticism from investors and **** ysts. Did earnings beats and rosier outlooks stem from successful operations or the cash windfall that fell from the sky? (Or the Supreme Court, in this case.)
Even strong performances didn't automatically translate to wins on Wall Street. Walmart (WMT) and Dollar Tree (DLTR) highlighted that dynamic.

Marseille Sporting Director Grégory Lorenzi is adamant that OM could go an entire summer transfer window without making a single signing. The financially-stricken OM have transfer-listed their most marketable ***** ets, if not all players at Bruno Genesio's disposal. Brazilian winger Igor Paixão is a target for Sunderland AFC. Argentina international centre-back Leonardo Balerdi is expected to join AS Roma on loan with an option to buy.
Speaking to L'Equipe in the aftermath of today's UEFA Europa League draw at Monaco, Lorenzi said that OM may not be able to register a signing, even if they sell another player. "In practical terms, we would need several departures before we can make one signing. I don't know if people understand the situation." Marseille are yet to make a signing with time running out and the summer transfer window set to close on Tuesday.
Lorenzi added that it would be difficult to exfiltrate Paixão, in the sense that Marseille would not be able to replace him. However, OM need to free up close to €150m worth of funds in player sales and wages before June 2027. Such is the dire situation of Marseille's finances after years of mismanagement. "We need to be clear with everyone. The situation isn't easy, but we're going to fight."

"Big Short" investor Steve Eisman warned on CNBC's "Fast Money" on August 13 that OpenAI and Anthropic account for roughly 70% of AI-related revenue at Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Oracle, and as much as 25% to 35% of those companies' cloud revenue. "The futures of these massive companies, in a sense, are a bet that OpenAI and Anthropic are going to succeed," Eisman said. He called the concentration the "Achilles' heel" of the AI trade, warning that if something goes wrong at either lab, cheaper Chinese open-weight models could spark a price war across the industry. Eisman said he is not shorting the trade yet, since he wants financial data once the labs go public.
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) sit on opposite sides of that same concentration risk. Nvidia supplies the chips every AI lab needs regardless of who wins, while Palantir is betting that companies want to reduce their reliance on any single AI lab altogether.
Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR)'s results argue against it being just another concentration bet. Revenue rose 93% to $1.94 billion last quarter, beating the $1.80 billion expected. Palantir raised full-year guidance to $8.15-$8.158 billion, its largest-ever raise, the company said. U.S. commercial revenue grew 149% to $764 million, showing broad-based demand.
Palantir's sovereignty pitch carries real weight beyond marketing. CEO Alex Karp wrote that "our customers have declined to become vassal states of the language labs. Karp joined other tech leaders urging the government not to restrict open-weight AI models, widening customer choice beyond the two labs Eisman flagged.
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)'s chips stay necessary no matter which lab wins. Every hyperscaler, OpenAI, Anthropic, and any challenger still needs Nvidia hardware. Eisman's warning centers on the labs' finances, not Nvidia's chip business itself.

A housing market crash happens when home values plummet due to a lack of demand for or an oversupply of homes. The factors leading to a housing market crash are varied, ranging from economic recessions to high mortgage rates that make it less affordable to buy a home. A housing crash can have upsides (low home prices) and downsides (losing built-up equity and tighter finances).

So, what's ahead for the housing market in 2026?

Despite 58% of Gen Z wanting a housing market crash, according to Clever, experts don't foresee one in 2026. If anything, they see a greater sense of normalcy following multiple years of twists and turns.
"We're not heading toward a housing crash; we're in a market correction defined by stability, not volatility," Hoby Hanna, CEO of Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, said via email. "Today's housing environment is fundamentally different from 2008. Homeowners have record levels of equity, lending standards are sound, and inventory remains constrained. What we're seeing now is a normalization, not a collapse, as the market adjusts to new economic realities.

When you're planning a vacation, you probably aren't thinking about worst-case medical scenarios. Travel insurance, if it comes up at all, is often viewed as a way to protect against a canceled flight or lost baggage.
But a serious medical emergency abroad can wreak havoc on your finances. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates an international air ambulance can cost $30,000 to $250,000.
Emergency medical evacuation insurance is designed to protect against that risk. Here's everything you need to know about how this benefit works, what it pays for, and how to choose a plan that actually meets your needs.
Emergency medical evacuation insurance, sometimes called medevac coverage, helps pay for and coordinate transportation if you become seriously ill or injured during a trip.

If you've spent any time on social media lately, you've probably come across trends such as "looksmaxxing," "sleepmaxxing," and even "proteinmaxxing."
The "-maxxing" trend is basically internet shorthand for taking something in your life and trying to optimize it as much as possible. And users are now adapting the concept for their financial lives.
If you've ever switched savings accounts for a better APY or hunted down a promo code before hitting "buy," you're already "moneymaxxing" to some degree. But is this just another fleeting internet trend, or is there real value in moneymaxxing?
Moneymaxxing is a social media-driven trend centered on optimizing as many aspects of your finances as possible. This can include moves such as moving cash to a high-yield savings account, stacking discounts and cash-back offers, negotiating bills, or taking advantage of bank account bonuses.

Amid 48 hours when the Julian Alvarez saga brought a media storm in Spain, **** nal are continuing to work away in the background. The hope is that a big calculation may yet pay off.
Mikel Arteta has long been aware that Alvarez's first choice was Barcelona, and respects that, but his club were also aware that their Catalan rivals would struggle to do the deal. Even as far back as May, it was known that Barca had a lot to do to make the finances work, and that was before a deteriorating relationship with Atletico Madrid reached this dismal nadir.
On Thursday, it was finally communicated that Atletico's official position is that they will "never , ever" sell Alvarez to Barcelona. This was as key representatives of both clubs - as well as **** nal - were at the Champions League draw in Monaco. That naturally fostered a lot of intrigue, as well as some mirth, for those present.
Atletico are refusing to negotiate with Barcelona, opening the door to **** nal to make a late move (Getty)
There was also some seriousness, as Atletico's Gil Marin spoke about how Alvarez was enduring "a difficult situation on both a personal and professional level", from "people who have taken it upon themselves to deceive him, to confuse him".

Better Mortgage and Coinbase (NASDAQ: $COIN) have moved their token-backed conforming mortgage into general availability, taking a product that closed its first Bitcoin-backed Fannie Mae loan in June into a broader nationwide offering for Coinbase One members.
The mortgages are originated and serviced by Better and powered by Coinbase, with the first lien structured under Fannie Mae guidelines as a standard conforming home loan. The crypto-backed portion sits alongside that mortgage, allowing qualified borrowers to pledge digital **** ets toward the down payment without first selling their holdings.
Coinbase One members approved for a Better loan can also receive a lender-funded credit equal to 1% of the mortgage value, capped at $10,000. Better said the credit now extends beyond the token-backed product to standard mortgages, home equity lines of credit and refinances.

Transferring some of your retirement savings from a tax-deferred account like a 401(k) to a Roth IRA can help you reduce or possibly avoid required minimum distributions (RMDs) and income taxes later on. It can also be beneficial if you want to leave tax-free savings to your heirs. A Roth conversion can therefore provide you with some flexibility when tax planning your finances in retirement.
However, you can't escape paying income taxes on your tax-deferred savings entirely, and converting 25% of a large 401(k) could lead to a sizable tax bill you'll have to pay right now. You may want to consider a conversion strategy based on keeping you from entering a higher marginal income tax bracket rather than converting a set percentage, although other timing factors may come into play.
Here are some factors to think about. You can also get matched with a financial advisor for free if you need help developing a 401(k) conversion plan that will balance present and future tax consequences.
Because Roth accounts are not subject to the required minimum distribution (RMD) rules that apply to 401(k) accounts, a retirement saver may want to consider converting funds from a 401(k) to a Roth IRA. Under RMD rules, funds left in a 401(k) or similar tax-deferred account have to be withdrawn on a strict schedule starting at age 73 or 75, depending on your birth year.

Madison Investments, an investment advisor, released its second-quarter 2026 investor letter for the "Madison Large Cap Fund". A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. In the second quarter, U.S. stock market indices achieved their best performance since 2020, driven largely by a narrow group of Artificial Intelligence-related stocks. As in the pandemic's early days, investors are fixated on who will benefit from AI, reminiscent of the late 1990s internet bubble. Against this backdrop, The Madison Large Cap Fund (class I) returned 8.4% in the second quarter of 2026, compared to a 15.2% increase in the S&P 500 Index. The current market's extreme narrowness is concerning, and history suggests this won't persist. While AI is reshaping society and the economy, today's winners may not remain so, and booms could lead to busts. Additionally, factors such as a volatile federal administration, growing budget deficits, inflation, high interest rates, and strained consumer finances will significantly impact the economy and stock market in the future. Additionally, reviewing the Fund's top five holdings could help identify its best picks for 2026.
In its Q2 2026 investor letter, Madison Large Cap Fund highlighted Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (NASDAQ:HONA) as a new holding. Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (NASDAQ:HONA), spun off from Honeywell International in June 2026, manufactures and supplies aircraft components, avionics, engines, and systems. On August 21, 2026, Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (NASDAQ:HONA) closed at $164.73 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $52.21 billion. Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (NASDAQ:HONA) posted a one‑month return of ‑21.87%.
Madison Large Cap Fund stated the following regarding Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (NASDAQ:HONA) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (NASDAQ:HONA) is a leading aerospace and defense supplier, supporting OEM, government, and aircraft operator customers. The company's products sit on a wide variety of aerospace programs with approximately 90% of in-service aircraft today having Honeywell Aerospace content. The separation from Honeywell International should enhance an already high-quality business as management compensation and capital allocation will be better tailored to the specific needs of the business. We believe the combination of attractive growth outlook, improved incentives, and optimized capital allocation is underappreciated."
Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (NASDAQ:HONA) is not on our list of the 40 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. While we acknowledge the potential of Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (NASDAQ:HONA) as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

LeBron James is the latest NBA player to have his finances come under scrutiny following a new report from Bloomberg that was published on Tuesday. According to the story's headline, "LeBron James Borrowed $300 Million From Insurers Arranged by Guggenheim."
Guggenheim is the financial services firm run by Mark Walter, the guy who owned the Los Angeles Lakers for about a year. He recently sold the team to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger. The Dodgers might be next. You're probably familiar with all that.

If you are familiar with all that, the headline sounds pretty juicy. However, if you actually reading the article it sounds more like LeBron James was doing some basic rich guy stuff. So anyone expecting a year-long investigation into the Lakers committing cap circumvention is going to be disappointed. The story doesn't seem to have anything to do with LeBron choosing or re-signing with the Lakers. Via Bloomberg:
"James' borrowing from the two Midwestern insurers — structured as sales of ***** et-backed bonds — began when he was at the Cleveland Cavaliers and his career was poised for new heights."

Home equity loans, HELOCs and cash-out refinances are three popular ways to borrow money, using your home as collateral.
A cash-out refinance replaces your existing mortgage at today's rate, while home equity loans and HELOCs involve taking on a separate debt that leaves your current mortgage rate untouched.
With all three, the amount you can borrow will depend on the amount of equity (ownership stake) you have in your home.
If you bought or refinanced between 2020 and 2022 and locked in a primary mortgage rate below where rates sit today, a HELOC or home equity loan can protect that low rate. If your rate is at or above today's average, a cash-out refinance may actually improve your terms.
Homeowners are sitting on a record $18 trillion in home equity, but which option makes sense — and at what rate — depends on one thing: whether your current mortgage rate is better or worse than what's available today. "Choosing between a home equity loan, HELOC or cash-out refinance isn't a one-size-fits-all decision," says Tim Choate, founder and CEO of Red Awning, a platform for short-term vacation rental owners and property managers. "Each option has unique characteristics that align with different financial needs, risk profiles, and flexibility requirements."

Milestones are usually meant to be celebrated, but this achievement isn't necessarily a positive development. The U.S. government's debt balance has officially exceeded $40 trillion. This massive sum is equal to 124% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP), up from a 62% share in 2006.
What's more, the federal debt burden has more than doubled in a decade. Compared to 20 years ago, it has exploded 376% higher. Within the U.S. budget, more money goes to interest payments now than it does to anything else, except Social Security and Medicare.

Elye Wahi touched down in Nice late last night ahead of his loan move to Le Gym from Eintracht Frankfurt. The Ivory Coast international also spent last season on loan at OGC Nice.
Fans gathered at Nice Airport late on Sunday night to welcome Wahi. The former Olympique de Marseille, RC Lens, and Montpellier HSC forward spent the second half of last season on loan at the Allianz Riviera. It was his goals that ultimately kept the club in Ligue 1. After netting in the promotion/ relegation playoff against AS Saint-Étienne, keeping Nice in the top flight, Wahi gave an interview in which he was very emotional and grateful to the club.
However, due to Nice's finances, it was not possible to include a buy option. Another loan move would be beyond Nice, it was thought, however, they have succeeded in reaching an agreement with their German counterparts. Wahi has arrived on the Côte d'Azur ahead of his medical. This time, his loan will include a buy option valued at €15m, Nice-Matin understands.
Speaking in a press conference attended by Get French Football News on Saturday night, following a 0-0 draw against FC Lorient, Olivier Pantaloni said that he was "impatient to have a signing" in attack. He added that he would be having talks with his superiors to understand the status of any deal(s). And just hours later, Wahi is in Nice and expected to complete a return.

Against this backdrop, The Madison Large Cap Fund (class I) returned 8.4% in the second quarter of 2026, compared to a 15.2% increase in the S&P 500 Index. The current market's extreme narrowness is concerning, and history suggests this won't persist. While AI is reshaping society and the economy, today's winners may not remain so, and booms could lead to busts. Additionally, factors such as a volatile federal administration, growing budget deficits, inflation, high interest rates, and strained consumer finances will significantly impact the economy and stock market in the future. Additionally, reviewing the Fund's top five holdings could help identify its best picks for 2026.
In its Q2 2026 investor letter, Madison Large Cap Fund highlighted Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (NASDAQ:HONA) as a new holding. Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (NASDAQ:HONA), spun off from Honeywell International in June 2026, manufactures and supplies aircraft components, avionics, engines, and systems. On August 21, 2026, Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (NASDAQ:HONA) closed at $164.73 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $52.21 billion. Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (NASDAQ:HONA) posted a one‑month return of ‑21.87%.
Madison Large Cap Fund stated the following regarding Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (NASDAQ:HONA) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (NASDAQ:HONA) is a leading aerospace and defense supplier, supporting OEM, government, and aircraft operator customers. The company's products sit on a wide variety of aerospace programs with approximately 90% of in-service aircraft today having Honeywell Aerospace content. The separation from Honeywell International should enhance an already high-quality business as management compensation and capital allocation will be better tailored to the specific needs of the business. We believe the combination of attractive growth outlook, improved incentives, and optimized capital allocation is underappreciated."
Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (NASDAQ:HONA) is not on our list of the 40 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. While we acknowledge the potential of Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (NASDAQ:HONA) as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
