The Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur news and links for Thursday, April 9

Hey, Everyone!

Above is Dean Austin, a former Spurs player. Also, I realize the Hoddle is probably the only way I keep track of what day it is, so expect a typo in the weeks to come.

Day's Parade

My sisters and I got a habit of listening to the podcast Who? My older sister is no longer able to listen to it on her commute weekly since. If you're looking to unwind with a few people talking (and making fun of) celebrities, it's a fun podcast but let's go specifically to the episode that dropped this Tuesday.

I 'd invite you to check in at 57:55 of the episode as an introduction to today's ramble, but if you don't: hosts Bobby Finger and Lindsey Weber played a game celebrating Weber 's birthday where they visited Celebnetworth.net, a place that is not only a database of vaguely famous people, but also rates certain people according to how famous they are. That would usually be boring, but this website has a very unusual algorithm so it is a very fun activity to guess who's ranked above someone else. (That's why I'm asking you to listen since Finger picked some fun dates.)


I hope you'll forgive this very long introduction, but for today's ramble, I'm going to share what the strange algorithm of celebnetworth.net revealed for my birthday September 2.

1. Hayley LeBlanc, youTube star, 11 years old!

2 – 6. More Stars on YouTube

7. Keanu Reeves, somebody I finally recognize (and didn't know I was sharing a birthday with ... pleasant surprise)

8. DJ Zedd

9 and 10. More Stars on YouTube

11. 11. Salma Hayek, who should perhaps be higher

12. 12. Ross Smith, a star on Facebook (which I didn't know was one thing about)

13–22. Other stars on the internet, including actor Mark Harmon of The West Wing and NCIS at 19

23. 23. Lala Kent of Vanderpump Rules fame, the only person I 'd like to share an anniversary with other than Lisa Vanderpump

I could go on but I think I made the point and added plenty of my own opinion. Nonetheless, I have a parting question: Who's using this site to make the rankings look like that?

Tl;dr: celebnetworth.net is a curious website, so who is it? Weekly is a formidable podcast.

Top 10 Richest Chefs in the World 2020

Once upon a time, fame and fortune were the sole property of actors, musicians and sport stars, but in recent years, the money has spread to the kitchen as well. As the world's culinary experts consolidate their conventional TV slots and extend their brands on and beyond Instagram, it's fair to say the top cooks see their bank balances skyrocketing. But who managed to capture top spot? A lot has changed in the last year after all, with some familiar faces missing from our 2019 list. Using reports from Celeb Net Worth , TheRichest and Spear's, we looked at the data from 2020 to chart the changes; the outcome is the world's 10 richest chefs. 10. Marco Pierre White Estimated net worth: $40 million (£30.3 million) Marco Pierre White started his much-celebrated culinary career at the prestigious restaurant Le Gavroche in London after leaving school with no income, no qualifications and no prospects. His burgeoning success in the 1980s and early 1990s saw him be...

One Simple Yet VERY Risky Gamble In 2006 Enabled Floyd Mayweather To Make Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars Today

Floyd Mayweather has been the world's highest paying athlete for at least the last five years each year. Alone in 2014 he earned about $105 million. That was $25 million more than the world's second-most-paid athlete, Cristiano Ronaldo. And perhaps what's most remarkable is that without a single substantial endorsement deal, Floyd won $105 million. Of the $80 million Ronaldo received as the second highest paying athlete in the world, 40 per cent came from endorsements. But what is probably most remarkable about Floyd's rise to absolute financial supremacy in the world of sports is the fact that none of it would ever have happened in 2006 without a very easy, but very risky gamble. Floyd was portrayed by Bob Arum's promotional company Top Rank Boxing between 1996 and 2006. In boxing you are simply an employee when you are signed with a promoter. A set amount of money is being offered for you to appear at a fight. The promoter puts up all the money and takes all th...

Richest African American Actors 2012 – Top 10 List

African Americans Making Big Bucks in Hollywood How African American actors took a prominent place in Hollywood mainstream movies over the last decade is quite obvious. African American actors are now casting quality films with meaty-roles that have proven to draw hordes of fans to the box office. The 50s and 60s are gone when movie pictures were limited to 'only whites.' Some of the highest paying actors doing smash hit movies are African Americans today. Talk about films such as Training Day and Monster's Ball which won both Denzel Washington and Halle Berry Oscars in 2002. How about Will Smith 's Men in Black and Training Day; Pulp Fiction by Samuel L. Jackson, the Million Dollar Baby by Morgan Freeman, and the Dreamgirls by Oscar-winning Jennifer Hudson — all top grossing black films. And the list can go on and on from actors in movies, to top producers and directors of films. It's not hard to understand why these African American actors are r...
