Khaby Lame turned a simple comedy concept into a global creator business. The Senegalese-born Italian star built his following by silently mocking complicated life-hack videos. His signature facial expressions and palms-up gesture became instantly recognizable. Lame has more than 160 million TikTok followers and was ranked among the world's highest-earning creators in 2025. Forbes estimated his earnings at $20 million that year. But what is Khaby Lame's net worth?
Lame's rise started after he lost his factory job during Italy's COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. TikTok gave him an audience, but brand partnerships turned that attention into money. Forbes Africa further reports that Lame has worked with brands including Hugo Boss, Airbnb and Binance. His business now stretches beyond TikTok, making Khaby Lame's net worth a bigger creator-economy story.
Yes, but the $975 million headline needs context. In January 2026, Rich Sparkle Holdings announced its acquisition of Step Distinctive Limited, a company tied to Lame's brand. According to Forbes Africa, Lame owned 49% of Step Distinctive before the transaction.
The deal involved Rich Sparkle shares rather than a straightforward cash payment. Forbes Africa also reported that Lame's stake reached a paper value of $6.6 billion when Rich Sparkle's stock surged.
That figure did not mean Lame suddenly had $6.6 billion in cash. Forbes also raised concerns about Rich Sparkle's small public float and the difficulty of using its stock price to measure Lame's actual wealth.

Rob Lowe's son, actor John Owen Lowe, shared an emotional poem about hope on his Instagram page over the weekend, just days after his 13-year-old cousin Fiona died by suicide.
The poem he posted was Emily ******* inson's "Hope Is the Thing With Feathers," which reads, "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all. And sweetest in the gale is heard; and sore must be the storm that could abash the little bird that kept so many warm."
It concludes, "I've heard it in the chillest land, and on the strangest sea; yet, never, in extremity, it asked a crumb of me."
The post came after Rob and John Owen arrived at the Los Angeles home of Rob's younger brother, Chad Lowe, on Thursday (October 1), per The Daily Mail. Fiona was the second daughter of Chad and his wife, Kim Painter. The couple also have daughters Mabel (17) and Nixie (10).
Last week, a statement from the medical examiner confirmed that Fiona was ******* ounced dead at a local hospital at 1:14 am on September 29. The manner of death was ruled a suicide.

A small, spotted tiger cat from Bolivia may just be
the beginning of a wave of new small cat species.
In 2016, Paola Nogales-Ascarrunz, a biologist and National Geographic Explorer working in Bolivia, received a call from a local wildlife sanctuary that had just been given what they described as “a weird cat.” It came from a local man who found it as a kitten on a road near a forest. The man took the animal home, believing it to be a domestic breed. But after about a year of living with the clearly wild animal, he realized it would be better off at a sanctuary.
As the lead scientist and founder of the Bolivian Felids Research Program (Programa de Investigación de Félidos Bolivia), Nogales-Ascarrunz was intrigued. The animal had a small, scrunched-up face, short and round ears, and long whiskers. It was, indeed, too small to be a housecat, and, most notably, it was covered in leopard-like spots. So she went to visit the creature at the Senda Verde wildlife sanctuary on the subtropical flank of the Bolivian Andes.
“I took a hundred pictures of it,” remembers Nogales-Ascarrunz. “I was so fascinated.”
What she couldn’t know at the time was that this curious cat had a secret. It would become the first new species of felid (i.e. the cat family) discovered in over 100 years, according to a study published today in the journal Current Biology. What’s exciting is the discovery is not a validation of a species proposed in the distant past, nor a previously recognized subspecies raised to species status—which are both more commonly reported and important findings. No, this cat was something totally new to science.

The week 1 game between Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers produced a 59-37 game in which Bears dominated the Panthers defense. In the high-scoring game, Bears quarterback did something interesting after the game while he was shaking hands with the Panthers head coach Dave Canales.
Interestingly the conversation was covered as the fields were mic'd up. The brief exchange of words now went viral and made headlines.
In the record-breaking 59-37 Week 1 blowout of the Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams delivered one of the most talked-about postgame moments of the early 2026 NFL season. During the handshake line after the Bears' historic 96-point combined scoring, the mics on the field caught his exact words in Dave Canales' face. "Y'all are a great defense man," Caleb Williams said.

It's a short, deadpan six-word line. No sarcasm in tone, no raised voice. It was a calm, straightforward compliment delivered right after Carolina's defense surrendered 59 points, 552 total yards, and multiple explosive plays.

It wasn't pretty, but Arizona volleyball found a way to end its five-game losing streak with a victory over Oregon State on Saturday. The Wildcats won 3-1 (25-23, 25-23, 16-25, 27-25) at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, Calif.
"It was necessary for us to win that match," said Arizona head coach Rita Stubbs.
It was a struggle throughout. Arizona had difficulty scoring and Oregon State had success against the Wildcats' block. While Arizona had nine blocks, it also had four blocking errors on the day. The Wildcats only had nine blocking errors in seven matches this season prior to Saturday.
Things were tight in the sets Arizona won. The Beavers took a late lead in all three before Arizona came back. The third set, which Oregon State won, was even less competitive than the 25-16 score suggested. The Wildcats persevered and Stubbs used her bench when she needed to.
Destiny Ndam-Simpson leads the Wildcats with 3.42 kills per set this season, but Saturday wasn't her day. The Beavers kept her in check, regularly taking her out of the play with their serve. She received 24 serves despite being subbed out halfway through the third set and not returning. Only Carlie Cisneros with 25 receptions in four sets was targeted more. Four of the Beavers' seven aces were charged to Ndam-Simpson.

LOS ANGELES -- The Phoenix Mercury visited the Los Angeles Sparks last month at the Galen Center in the University of Southern California. A lot changed from their visit before that a couple of weeks before to their game at USC.
For Kahleah Copper, a lot changed for her as well. Hours after their game against the Sparks on July 22nd, Copper was named to the All-Star team as she replaced her friend, then-Sparks guard Kelsey Plum.
About a week after All-Star weekend, Plum was traded to the Mercury and the friends were suddenly teammates.
"(Plum brought) her energy, her vibes, her leadership, her championship experience (to the team)," Copper said before their game against the Sparks at USC. "She knows what it takes to win. I'm glad to play alongside with her."
As for All-Star Weekend after expecting to get some rest?

KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — The Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo, the world's fastest-growing outbreak of the disease on record, has now spread to seven provinces in the African country, local authorities said. And it's showing no signs of slowing down.
According to the governor of the northwestern province of Sud-Ubangi, Jean-Rene Galekwa Vundawe, laboratory tests by Congo's national research institute found in a sample the Bundibugyo virus, the rare kind of Ebola that caused the current outbreak.
The statement, which was issued on Thursday and reported by local media outlets on Friday, said the sample was from the Bulu health district in Sud-Ubangi. It did not disclose other information about the source of the infection.
The development makes Sud-Ubangi the seventh province affected by the outbreak — and the first in western Congo — a worrisome spread west from what was previously concentrated in the country's east. A case was detected in Kinshasa in May in a person who had traveled from eastern Congo, but the Congolese capital was not classified as an affected province.
As of Wednesday, 6,942 cases and 3,349 deaths have been reported, according to the latest government figures.

Why Patriots' Josh McDaniels, TreVeyon Henderson injury deserve some blame for Drake Maye's putrid night appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New England Patriots did a lot of things correctly in their season opener against the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. They went across the country and played an excellent game for three quarters in front of the crazed and full-throated 12s at Lumen Field in Seattle. However, their 10-3 lead disappeared in the fourth quarter as quarterback Drake Maye was careless with the football and that turned potential victory into a 13-10 defeat. Maye threw two of his three interceptions in the final quarter.
The final interception by Seahawk defensive back Josh Jobe came in the end zone came with 26 seconds remaining. Maye threw up a high-arching balloon to wide out Mack Hollins from the Seattle 16-yard line and Jobe was able to outfight the Patriots receiver for the ball. That play prevented New England from sending out PK Andy Borregales to attempt a 33-yard field goal that would have tied the game.
There is little doubt that Maye's pass was a poor effort and should not have been thrown. However, the play call made by offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was reckless. The Seattle pass defense had come to life in the fourth quarter and had shown the ability to blanket Patriots receivers. The pass into the end zone was a risky proposition when it was called by McDaniels and it put Maye at risk of throwing the costly interception.

USL Dunkerque are reported to have reached a verbal agreement with M'Baye Niang (31) on a one-year contract with an option for a further year, according to L'Équipe.
A free agent since leaving Turkish club Gençlerbirliği SK, where he played and proved decisive on eight occasions (six goals, two ******* ists) in 27 appearances last season, the Senegalese striker is reportedly open to a return to France.
Having come through the SM Caen academy and played for Montpellier HSC, Stade Rennais, Girondins de Bordeaux and AJ Auxerre, Niang has made over 160 appearances and scored around 40 goals in Ligue 1.
A Senegal international (23 caps, four goals), the Meulan-born player also boasts significant international experience, having previously played for AC Milan, Watford and Torino, amongst others.
Having secured the services of Steven Nzonzi (37) this summer, USLD could well be set to pull off another major coup to round off their transfer window.

The world lost a national treasure when Dolly Parton passed away on August 25 at the age of 80, but if there's one silver lining we can take away from her death, it's been all the wonderful stories that have been retold about her over the past couple of weeks. As celebrities paid tribute to the country music legend, many of them regaled fans with stories about working with Parton or the best advice she ever gave. Danica McKellar crossed paths with her for a Hallmark movie, and it sounds like she had quite the work ethic.
Like most of Dolly Parton's fans, I know her reputation for hard work — it's really no surprise when you consider her blue-collar background and the meaning behind her song "9 to 5" — but Danica McKellar got to witness that work ethic first-hand when she co-starred with Parton in Christmas at Dollywood in 2019. McKellar said the country music star was "everything that you hope she could possibly be and much more." She told Fox News:
She told me she only slept three to five hours a night. She was always dreaming stuff up and just busy. She'd sleep on her big travel bus if she was traveling and doing things and wake up early in the morning. ... She did her own hair and makeup, her own wig and her own makeup. And she'd get to work.

Iliman Ndiaye has explained why he turned down Tottenham to join Manchester City by saying his determination to play Champions League football counted against Spurs.
The Senegalese winger completed a £60m move from Everton to City on deadline day but only after Tottenham were the first to bid for him.
Spurs were discussing a £60m move for Ndiaye – with Richarlison returning to Everton for £35m in a separate deal – but as soon as City showed an interest, the former Sheffield United player decided not to join a club that finished 17th in each of the last two seasons.
"For me it was always going to be City," he said. "I wanted Champions League and playing at one of the best teams in the world. I'm not saying Tottenham is not, but when Manchester City comes through, you don't say no.
"This is where I think I belong. I've worked hard to get to this point. When I was speaking with my wife, I was telling her if I had to leave Everton it would be somewhere where I know I would be playing Champions League."

Khadija Shaw netted a brace while Mary Fowler was also on target as The Cityzens were victorious on opening day.
It was the visitors who almost got off to a dream start. They won a corner inside the opening 30 seconds, but Marie Levasseur saw her effort cleared off the goal-line.
Océane Hurtré then almost capitalised on a back-pass, but home keeper Ayaka Yamashita did just about enough to deal with the danger.
At the other end, Shaw met Lauren Hemp's cross, but she couldn't beat Sophie Baggaley. Hemp soon produced another cross from the left which was met by Shaw, but she was again unable to take advantage,
Manchester City captain Alex Greenwood and Aoba Fujino had further efforts on the Birmingham City goal, but Baggaley was able to produce saves on both occasions. Fowler then slipped the ball to Shaw, who looked certain to score, but Neve Herron defended well and managed to perform a block.

Reds predicted by MLB owners to be next franchise to undergo one huge change originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Cincinnati Reds have been mired in mediocrity for a while now, and while they made the postseason and even got off to a good start this season, they really need some more help to get back into the playoffs and make a serious run.
While Sal Stewart turning into a superstar helps, the Reds do still need to invest more in this team. More specifically, they need greater financial commitments from the Reds ownership group.
Fortunately, that might be coming soon. According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, rival MLB owners are predicting the Reds will be the next franchise to sell.
"Rival owners predict that the Cincinnati Reds could be the next MLB team sold," Nightengale writes. "Certainly, Bob Castellini will make a cool profit if he does put them on the block, purchasing the franchise for $270 million in 2006. It's now worth about $1.6 billion."

Dave Dombrowski pushes back against Phillies' farm system criticism originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
In recent years, the Philadelphia Phillies' farm system has received some scathing remarks, as it's been called one of the weaker farm systems in baseball.
Routinely, the Phillies have one of MLB's lowest-ranked farm systems. It's not just because of the prospects they're trading away, but the ones they currently have in the system aren't viewed highly around baseball.
Dave Dombrowski, president of baseball operations, is pushing back against that narrative. USA Today's Bob Nightengale shared a comment from Dombrowski, who pushed back against the criticism levied against the Phillies' farm system.
"We could have traded for anybody at the deadline if we had given up more prospects," Dombrowski said. "Some guys, we chose not to trade. What's amazing is that people criticize our farm system, but we've had [Justin] Crawford come up. We've had [Andrew] Painter come up. We've had Alex [McFarlane] come up. We've always had prospects to make trades. The reality is that I've never been in a spot where I couldn't make a trade because of prospects."

We've always had prospects to make trades. The reality is that I've never been in a spot where I couldn't make a trade because of prospects."

Preparing to take the stage representing Ethiopia at the Miss World pageant, Ruth Yirgalem Weldesilasie thinks of her sister, who was abducted and murdered ahead of the contest.
"I'm going to change my pain to my purpose," the 25-year-old told AFP in Vietnam's coastal Nha Trang city, as 111 contestants gathered for the Saturday night pageant finale.
This summer, Ruth's 29-year-old elder sister Kidusan Yirgalem Weldesilasie was kidnapped for ransom -- disappearing from her side as she prepared for the global beauty contest.
Kidusan was discovered dead, her remains split between two suitcases, in late July. Ruth's best friend of a decade and her best friend's boyfriend are among 10 suspects who have been arrested, she said.
Violence against women and girls is endemic in Ethiopia's deeply patriarchal society.

Manchester City have won 1-0 today against stubborn Coventry City side at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon. A Erling Haaland header in the 26th minute was just enough for City make it three wins from three matches to start the new Premier League season.
When the starting lineups were announced, Enzo Maresca had made only one change to the starting lineup which dispatched Crystal Palace 4-1 last weekend. Iliman Ndiaye replaced Phil Foden in the starting lineup as the Senegalese international made his Premier League debut from the start today. Enzo Fernandez was on the bench for today's game. However, that changed 15 minutes before kickoff. Nico O'Reilly suffered an injury in the warm up and Enzo Fernandez replaced him in Manchester City's starting lineup.
Manchester City began the game dominating possession, however it was Coventry City who should have taken the lead inside the opening eight minutes. First, Abdukodir Khusanov played a ball back to Gianluigi Donnarumma on his own goal line. The Italian had a poor first touch which almost trickled over the goal line to give Frank Lampard's side the lead in the 6th minute.
However, two minutes later, Coventry City should have taken the lead. Antoine ****** yo played a dangerous ball from the right into midfield which Coventry City striker Taiwo Awoniyi intercepted. Awoniyi surged clean through on goal with only the keeper to beat. But he fired his shot wide of the post with Gianluigi Donnarumma rushing out to save his team's blushes. Taiwo Awoniyi's chance was a clear warning shot to Enzo Maresca's side that today's match wouldn't be a walk in the park.
Manchester City's first shot on target would arrive in the 16th minute. Elliot Anderson was fouled in midfield and he quickly took the free kick and set free Rayan Cherki. Cherki surged into ****** e and played in Erling Haaland with a quality through ball. Haaland fired in a powerful low drive from inside the Coventry penalty area across goal which Coventry City keeper Carl Rushworth got down well to save.

Manchester City announced the signing of Allan from Palmeiras yesterday. The Brazilian winger is set to provide Enzo Maresca with another option to utilize on the right wing. Despite City signing Allan, they did need to sign one more player to bolster their attack. In the end, City have achieved that goal. The FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders have now officially confirmed the signing of Senegalese international Iliman Ndiaye from Everton. Ndiaye is an exciting signing for City and he will offer Enzo Maresca flexibility and quality to unleash in the final third.
Ahead of the transfer window closing at 23:00, Manchester City have officially announced the signing of Iliman Ndiaye. Ndiaye has signed a five-year contract with City, which will run until the summer of 2031. By signing Iliman Ndiaye, Enzo Maresca will have a player at his disposal whose strengths, especially his dribbling and ability to beat a man in one-on-one situations, look ideally suited to playing a prominent role in his squad.
Sam Lee and Jessica Hopkins have reported for The Athletic that Manchester City hage paid Everton £60 million plus £5 million in add-ons to sign Ndiaye.
Speaking with mancity.com after signing for Manchester City, Iliman Ndiaye revealed that once he knew of City's interest in signing him, he had his heart set of joining Enzo Maresca's side. He explained: "It's easy to make the decision about whether you want to be at Manchester City or not."
"You can see the recent history; you want to be part of that project. They talked to me about where we could go, what we could achieve with me in the team, and I was interested from the beginning."

It wasn't as smooth sailing as they maybe would have liked, but in the end, Provo got the win over Mountain View in four sets 25-17, 25-26, 26-28, and 25-19 Tuesday night.
Provo has made easy work of its opponents so far this season coming into its game against Mountain View. Prior to this matchup, Provo had yet to drop a single set, and it looked like the Bulldogs were on their way once again to a quick, sweeping victory.
Looking in complete control after the first two sets, Provo showed some vulnerability in the 3rd set, giving Mountain View a window of hope that it took advantage of.
Provo bounced back quite nicely after dropping its first set of season and had no problem seeing the match out.
"They were calm and composed in the 4th and did a really good job. We have really good leadership on our team. A lot of really good seniors, and so, yeah, we just need to take care of business on our side," said Provo head coach Stefanie Magalei.

ASHVILLE – Every team goes through it, where they don't have their best stuff.
That was certainly the case for the Lancaster volleyball team on Tuesday, Sept. 1, during their game at Teays Valley. The Golden Gales just couldn't seem to find any rhythm or gain momentum against the Vikings.
Lancaster fell behind early in the first set and were immediately put on their heels, and Teays Valley took advantage. Even though the Gales fought back in their third set, it wasn't enough as they dropped their Ohio Capital Conference-Buckeye Division opener, 25-19, 25-17, 25-23.
"We had a great week of practice and practiced really hard and felt like we were in a good place," Lancaster coach Leslie Davenport said. "Defensively, we didn't connect that first set, and we knew we were going to be up against big blocks, and we talked about getting up and having high hands, and when we did it, we scored. Unfortunately, mentally, we didn't get to that place where we were able to get over the hump."

Lamine Camara (22) is currently undergoing a medical ahead of a move to Chelsea from Monaco before the transfer deadline, according to a report from Fabrizio Romano. As reported by RMC Sport, the Premier League club have reached an agreement in the region of €50m plus bonuses to sign the Senegalese international midfielder before the transfer window closes.
Chelsea had been in negotiations with Les Monégasques throughout deadline day to sign the 22-year-old as they searched for a replacement for Enzo Fernández (25), who looks set to join Manchester City for a record-equalling British fee of £125m. The Côte d'Azur outfit originally commanded a fee in the region of €70m, due to their lack of need to sell with Folarin Balogun seemingly joining Everton. However, after the USMNT forward failed his medical, the club have been forced to negotiate with the Blues at a much lower price in order to raise funds before the end of the window. Everything now points towards Camara joining the Blues.

Richarlison has opened the door for an emotional return to Everton but warned "never again will anyone decide my future for me" in a thinly-veiled dig on social media.
Spurs entered talks with Everton on Sunday night over the proposed transfer of Toffees' attacker Iliman Ndiaye and separate discussions occurred over Richarlison going back to his old club, before Manchester City struck a deal to sign the Senegalese star.
Richarlison has asked to leave Tottenham (PA Wire)
Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi claimed on Saturday night that Richarlison had been left out of the matchday squad for the 2-0 home loss to Newcastle because "too many times he asked to leave", but the Brazil forward has seemingly responded in a story on his Instagram page.
"After everything I've been through in the last few years, I've decided that never again will anyone decide my future for me," Richarlison said on Instagram.

It has been a busy day in terms of transfer talk surrounding Manchester City. At the beginning of today, it seemed that City would pursue a move to sign Cody Gakpo from Liverpool. However, that move has fallen through, which has seen City shift their focus onto other targets. Everton's versatile winger Iliman Ndiaye is now the player that Manchester City want to add more quality and depth to their attack. It is now reported that City have landed the Senegalese international.
David Ornstein has reported for The Athletic that Manchester City and Everton are close to reaching an agreement that will see Iliman Ndiaye become a City player. Ornstein reports that City and Everton are in the process of finalising a total package worth £65 million for the Senegalese winger.
Manchester City look to have found the attacker they needed to cover the loss of Omar Marmoush. Iliman Ndiaye will be the player tasked with adding a different dimension to Manchester City's attack. As a player, Ndiaye will add tremendous ability in one-on-one situations to the City attack. Ndiaye excels at taking on defenders and his strong dribbling ability is a key ***** et to his play. That is a quality that Enzo Maresca wants in his wingers. Ndiaye will bring that in spades as the statistics below illustrate.
On top of his ability to beat a man with his dribbling, Iliman Ndiaye can play on either wing or through the middle. That versatility will be a weapon that Maresca will tap into. Also, Iliman Ndiaye looks to be a player who is ready to make the jump up to a club like City. He has thrived and grown playing at Sheffield United and Everton in England. Now his big move has come and it will be fascinating to see how Ndiaye fares as a City player.
Manchester City have seemingly got the attacking player they desperately needed in Iliman Ndiaye. Everton's Senegalese international will add a different element and dimension to Manchester City's attacking play. Also, City's pivot from seemingly moving to sign Cody Gakpo from Liverpool to Iliman Ndiaye has come off. A busy day has finally reached a conclusion and the City squad will be stronger with the addition of Iliman Ndiaye.

The Chargers announced their initial 53-man roster around 6:00 p.m. Sunday evening.
It came with several notable surprises, including having only two specialists and 11 total offensive linemen.
Below is a complete breakdown of the roster along with some ***** ysis on each room.
Even as someone who believes D.J. Uiagalelei outplayed Lance during the preseason by a decent margin, the Chargers were always going to keep Lance as their backup due to his larger pool of experience in the NFL, on top of his familiarity with the Shanahan-influenced offense that Mike McDaniel wants to run (even if he's not the best at executing it himself).
Uiagalelei is expected to return on the team's practice squad for another year, but the Chargers would be wise to still look elsewhere for an upgrade at backup behind Herbert. Former 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens was released and he has even more experience in running this style of offense than Lance during the former's time with the 49ers.
