Summer Redstone allegedly gave over 70 million dollars to women for sex.  Damn.

http://www.cnbc.com/2016/12/12/redstone-allegedly-paid-millions-to-mistresses-and-others-while-getting-sexual-favors.html

Holland then offered a laundry list of unidentified women and the staggering amounts they received from Redstone "just while Sydney was living with Redstone."

  • "He gave one mistress — an aspiring reality show producer — approximately $21 million," Holland wrote.
  • "He gave a flight attendant on the CBS corporate jet just approximately $18 million."
  • "He later slept with her sister, who he gave approximately $6 million."
  • "He gave another woman who he had formally met through Patti Stanger [the matchmaker] $10-11 million."
  • "He gave another mistress — who claimed to be a model — over $7 million."
  • "He gave a friend of his grandson's girlfriend a job at Showtime® and approximately $6 million."
  • "He gave another mistress approximately $1.5 million."
  • "He gave an ex-fiancée and Paramount employee an undisclosed amount."
  • "He paid for a college student's tuition at the University of Southern California and gave her an undisclosed amount."

Hmmm...I don't think that you will stay wealthy long.

I know you are being a little flippant but....let's say you are making $100k a year, would you supplement someone $500.00 a month because you know them? Or even $100?

These are gifts.  The donor (i.e., Redstone) has the tax liability, not the donees.

Because I know them?  Mmm, maybe not.  In return for services?  Perhaps.

I believe gifts have a limit. It's not in the millions.

Nope.  You can give something like $14k tax free.  Above that you pay a gift tax.  Bill Gates can give you $1B (I wouldn't hold my breath).  But he'd have to pay gift taxes on the amounts which exceed his annual and liftetime exclusions.

So… the limit is $14k. And the lifetime limit is higher than when I last looked, and is about $5.4 million dollars, after which either the giver pays, or the recipient pays (if the giver does not).

And if the giver doesn't file a gift receipt (or whatever it's called), I think the IRS may just classify it as income, which is of course taxed.

Suspicious income... I could not tell if these were just claims by this gold digger or actual numbers. I know it was filed in court but that doesn't mean anything.

Still no.  As there is no limit. 

And, the IRS is crystal clear -- the donor has the tax liability.  The recipient never does. 

Now, maybe Sumner 1099s them, but that would be fraudulent unless there was an agreement that they'd be compensated to, ahem, "accompany" them.

    • I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.  
    • Day 48, June 23.  After work today, I took 25 minutes in my practice room;  6-iron, same everything as yesterday except the time and count. 
    • Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.
    • The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
