At the Geneva Motor Show on Tuesday, French luxury car maker Bugatti unveiled a car that sold for €11 million ($12.4 million), making it the most expensive new car ever. The hyper sports car “La Voiture Noire” is a one-off homage to Bugatti’s Type 57 SC Atlantic to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the company. The original “La Voiture Noire” is shrouded in mystery and lore. One of four Type 57 SC Atlantics built between 1936 and 1938, it was owned by Jean Bugatti, the son of designer Ettore. It was also driven regularly by friends of Jean’s, including Le Mans winner Robert Benoist. When Germans seized a Bugatti factory in 1940 during World War II, the car was shipped by train to Bordeaux, but when the train arrived, La Voiture Noire was gone, and it hasn’t been seen since The buyer of the new La Voiture Noire1 has not been revealed, but rumor has it—CNBC is citing “industry sources”— the buyer was Ferdinand Piech, the former chairman of German automaker Volkswagen, which now owns...

Jay-Z is now the richest musician in America, according to an update of Forbes’s annual ranking of celebrity wealth. Appearing behind George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey and Michael Jordan, with a net worth of $900m, the hip-hop mogul saw the biggest dollar gains out of anyone else on the list, Yahoo News reports, quoting The Independent. Thanks to his stakes in various companies, including entertainment giant Roc Nation, his streaming service Tidal, and alcohol companies including Armand de Brignac and D’Ussé, he has overtaken rapper Diddy, who previously held the title. Star Wars creator George Lucas, who sold Lucasfilm to Disney in 2012, has helped boost his own wealth by transitioning the original film trilogy into an empire of merchandise, tie-in games, novels and comic books.

Travis Scott's performance with Maroon 5 during halftime of Super Bowl LIII may not be a sure thing. After TMZ Sports reported the rapper will join Adam Levine's band on stage, Jem Aswad and Shirley Halperin of Variety reported Jay-Z is attempting to convince Scott not to perform. Aswad and Halperin pointed to Jay-Z's previous criticism of the NFL because former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has not been offered a job since he opted out of his contract following the 2016 season, when he began protesting racial injustice and police violence during the national anthem. This comes after Us Weekly cited a source who said Maroon 5 "is having a lot of trouble finding guests" to join them because "no one wants to associate themselves with the NFL" with Kaepernick still on the sideline. The source said Cardi B has "been going back and forth" about performing, while Aswad and Halperin noted: "For weeks, Maroon 5 had been st...
