Tiger Woods is now officially Billionaire!!!

 


LeBron James is gonna have to make some room in the 3 Comma Club ..... 'Cause Tiger Woods officially has a billion-dollar net worth.

Just one week after it was announced the Lakers superstar reached the financial milestone, Forbes is now reporting the golf legend has achieved the same feat.

It's actually surprising that 46-year-old Woods hadn't hit billionaire status earlier in his career --- back in April, the outlet estimated he'd earned $1.7 billion over the course of his Pro career before taxes and agent fees ... with less than 10% of that coming from prize money.

Woods has made a killing off being the face of brands like Gatorade, Nike and Rolex .... and his TGR Ventures has invested in a number of golf-related companies in recent years.

The 15-time major winner has undoubtedly brought a tin of interest to the sport ... which has resulted in more money in his pockets, thanks to lucrative TV deals increasing prize money on the PGA tour.

Despite several personal controversies throughout his career ... including his single-car accident on Thanksgiving in 2009, going public about his sex addiction and being arrested on suspicion of DUI in 2017 .... Woods has remained one of the top-earning athletes each year.

Wood's achievement comes on the heels of a reported "high nine digits" offer to play for the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour ... which he rejected.

Woods is now one of three billionaire athletes in America -- joining James and Michael Jordan --- and that's pretty good company.

Chris Rock Could host The Next Oscars in 2023

  After being hit in the face byBest Actor Will Smith, comedian Chris Rock may be returning to host the Oscars next year. ABC president Craig Erwich told sources that bringing Rock in as the emcee was a possibility. He assured that the following year's concert, which is set for March 12, 2023, will be better than the last. After assaulting Rock as the March Award show for making a crude remark about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Smith has been barred from attending the celebration for ten years. Smith won the Oscar for Best Actor for his depiction of Richard Williams, the father of Venus and Serena Williams, after resigning from the Academy. Some praised Smith for defending his wife, while others said he should lose his medal. He certainly wasn't.

"My assessment of the Oscars was that it was really a successful year for the show, Obviously there

Idris Elba wants Beyoncé and Jay-Z to appear on 'Coupledom' podcast

  Idris Elba wants to sit down with the power couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z for he and his wife Sabrina's "Coupledom" podcast. It doesn't get any more "power couple" than Beyoncé and Jay-Z, so it makes sense that Idris Elba and his wife, Sabrina, would want to interview them for their "Coupledom" podcast. "We've talked about Jay and Beyoncé," Elba said about his dream guests. He added that he and Sabrina have talked about former President and First Lady Barack and Michelle Obama appearing as guests. "Those are obviously romantic couples, but they've [also] worked together in some capacity," he added. And even though they "haven't yet" reached out to the dream teams for sit-down interviews, "We will," they said. The Elbas Launched their Audible original "Coupledom with Idris and Sabrina Elba" podcast last summer as a way "to understand the pillars that make up a good partnership," wh
