    Taylor Swift’s response to Travis Kelce ‘split’ claims revealed as she ‘plans to mark September date’

    Dubious claims surfaced earlier this week that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce had an agreement marked in a contract to end their year-long romance on 28 September

    Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since September 2023

    Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce are reportedly planning a romantic event on the date a leaked document said they were planning to break up – in response to the scurrilous rumours.

    The 34-year-old Wildest Dreams singer and NFL tight end Travis, who plays for Kansas City Chiefs, have now been dating for a full year. But earlier this week, their romance was rocked a leaked PR proposal purporting to show they were to end their relationship on 28 September.

    Images of the document with the letterhead of a company called Full Scope Public Relations which represents Kelce went viral as the document claimed the singer and 34-year-old sport star would break up and then make carefully worded announcements online. The claims have been dismissed by both Taylor and Travis, while it has been reported Full Scope have drafted in lawyers to attempt to uncover the source of the leak of the document it says was fabricate.

    Now it is being claimed that the famous couple are planning to laugh off the entire scandal in spectacular Style. Instead of breaking up, they are now reportedly planning to affirm their romance with a romantic date night.

    A source told the Daily Mail: “Taylor was unbothered and quite amused by this. She usually pays these things no mind at all, but this was some hilarious AI realness. It isn’t even worth an actual reaction from her or her team. She and Travis had a good laugh over it and his camp only got lawyers involved because it is his PR firm listed on the document.”

    They continued: “After learning that their ‘breakup date’ is coming up so soon – September 28 – they now need to plan something super special and fun on that day to commemorate. Coincidentally, September 28 is around the first NFL game of the season and is also National Beer Drinking Day – so that makes a good date night for sure.”

    The Mirror has contacted the singer’s spokesperson for comment. The viral post which sparked panic over Taylor and Travis’s future showed paperwork that had seemingly been drafted by Full Scope. The document outlined an order of announcements that would follow the claimed split, suggesting the couple would each release statement three days after their split was made public.

    The paperwork added that the announcements would be: “gracious, respectful and stress mutual respect.” The document claimed: “Example: Travis and Taylor have decided to part ways after careful consideration. They both value and respect each other’s personal lives and appreciate your respect for privacy during this time. They are both committed to their careers and personal growth. They remain friends and wish each other the best.”

    A spokesperson for Full Scope, has slammed the viral document as “entirely false and fabricated and were not created, issued or authorised by this agency.” In a statement to MailOnline, they said: “We have engaged our legal team to initiate proceedings against the individuals or entities responsible for the unlawful and injurious forgery of documents.”

    Taylor has had a phenomenally hectic year, attending the Grammy awards where she announced the shock release of her eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, and continuing her epic Eras World Tour which began in March 2023 and is due to continue until the end of the year. Travis has also had a busy year – which included his NFL team winning the 2024 Super Bowl back in February.

    Meghan Markle is reportedly a ‘laughing stock among the Hollywood elite’ over her ‘disastrous’ business streak

    Meghan Markle is said to have become a laughing stock among the Hollywood elite and royals over her “disastrous” business streak, it has been claimed.

    The Duchess of Sussex is in the midst of launching her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, which she announced earlier this year. The brand, which is set to sell items like jams and home decor items, has already been soft-launched, with influencers and celebrities like Kris Jenner already sent a press mailer of the brand’s strawberry jam.

    But as Meghan prepares to launch her brand while working on two Netflix shows with her husband, and also plans to launch her project with Lemonada, it has been claimed that she is being laughed at by A-listers in Hollywood.

    Speaking to In Touch, a source said: “Almost everything they’ve tried has ended in disaster.” Before a different source added: “Hollywood is glam and glitz on the outside, but the real stars have worked hard for their success — and you get the impression hard work isn’t really Meghan’s thing.”

    The second source went on: “She was a nobody when she married Harry in 2018 but immediately thought she deserved a place at the A-listers’ table. “Now, after all her failures, those A-listers — and the royals — are laughing at her!”

    Meanwhile, the first source, a courtier, went on to touch on how they believe Meghan’s new projects “are destined to fail,” which is due to to her lack of experience in building a brand. They said: “If the public doesn’t like you, they won’t get behind you, and no amount of money you throw at the problem will make it go away.”

    This comes as the Sussexes prepare to celebrate their first-born child’s fifth birthday. Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor will turn five on May 6, with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex set to celebrate the young prince’s birthday with him and his younger sister Princess Lilibet.

    Prince Harry will then jet – solo and without Meghan – from California to England for an event on May 8. The Duke will be back in his home country for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, where he will give a speech at St Paul’s Cathedral during a thanksgiving service.

    Prince Harry is reported to have opined that Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, possesses the qualities to lead the royal family into modernity, according to royal biographer Angela Levin.
    In an interview with Uncancelled’s Dan Wooton, Levin delved into the couple’s perspectives on the monarchy’s need for updates and Meghan’s potential role in such a transformation.
    “[Harry] thinks that it was very bad that Meghan wasn’t questioned about what should be done to make the royal family up to date,” Angela said in the interview published on Monday, April 8, about the dynamic Prince Harry and Meghan shared with the firm before they moved to California.

    “And [Meghan] said herself that she felt that they should have asked her what should be done rather than Kate because she is a self-made woman and she’s got much more experience,” she went on.
    Levin recounted conversations indicating Harry’s dissatisfaction with the royal family’s approach to modernization, particularly noting an omission in consulting Meghan on the matter. Meghan, a self-described self-made woman with considerable experience, reportedly felt overlooked in favor of Princess Kate, despite her own insights into progressive changes for the monarchy.
    This sentiment underscores the couple’s estrangement from traditional royal protocols and their eventual move to California.

    The notion of Harry and Meghan assuming leadership of the monarchy presents a scenario fraught with unprecedented shifts in succession. For such a change to occur, Prince William, along with his three children, would need to step aside, paving the way for Harry, currently sixth in line, and Meghan to potentially guide the royal institution.

    Levin, who spent considerable time with Harry while penning the biography “Harry: Conversations with the Prince,” also reflected on Queen Elizabeth II’s efforts to accommodate the Sussexes within the royal fold. The late queen’s concessions, including offering top aides and allowing Meghan the flexibility to continue her acting career, highlighted attempts to integrate Meghan’s preferences into royal life.

    However, Levin suggests a premeditated plan by Meghan to exit the royal setting, fueled by ambitions extending beyond her royal title and financial expectations. The biographer further critiqued the Sussexes’ motives, accusing them of aiming to dismantle the traditional royal framework and alter media dynamics, particularly the print press. Harry’s legal battles against media entities over privacy violations and defamation underscore his contentious relationship with the press, aligning with Levin’s portrayal of a broader strategy to reshape media engagement.

    Complicating these narratives are recent challenges faced by the royal family, notably Princess Kate’s cancer diagnosis and the subsequent internal turmoil. Levin claims that Prince William harbors frustration towards Harry, exacerbated by disparaging remarks about Princess Kate and alleged breaches of trust.

    This tension, according to Levin, has deepened the rift between the brothers, with William particularly incensed by Harry’s public criticisms and actions perceived as undermining the family’s unity. “There you have their priorities. Harry wasn’t on the list. If you are unwell the last thing you want is somebody who’s going to start telling you how they want you to behave.

    Quite rightly William is absolutely furious about the comments that Harry made about his wife, insinuating that she didn’t have a big personality, that she did what she was told, she was deeply boring and that she was lazy,” the royal author of the tense dynamic shared between the Waleses and the Sussexes.

    “The other thing is, of course, they can’t trust Harry because he’s taken sentences and sold them to journalists to make another documentary. He’s not having that. Harry’s been very rude about William – you can’t take it,” she furthered. Meanwhile, Meghan reportedly aspired to emulate Princess Diana’s legacy within the Royal Family, embodying the same spirit and dedication to public service that defined Harry’s late mother.

    From her early days within the royal fold following her engagement to Prince Harry in 2017, Meghan sought to make a significant impact, akin to that of Diana, who transitioned from obscurity to global recognition through her marriage to Prince Charles and her subsequent philanthropic endeavors.

    Darren Stanton, a body language expert, observed that Meghan’s entry into the Royal Family marked a dramatic shift in her public stature, drawing parallels between her experiences and those of Princess Diana. Both women, according to Stanton, shared a profound commitment to humanitarian causes and a willingness to forge their own paths, even when it meant stepping away from traditional royal expectations.

    “She holds great precedence with Princess Diana,” Stanton told The Mirror, highlighting the strength and conviction both women demonstrated in facing the challenges of royal life.
    In addition to her philanthropic efforts, Meghan has ventured into the business world with the launch of her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. Despite facing initial skepticism, the Duchess has been described as “headstrong” and “empowered” in her pursuit of this new endeavor, which offers an array of products including homewares, table linens, cookbooks, and gourmet food items. The brand, announced via a series of Instagram posts, has generated considerable excitement among royal and lifestyle enthusiasts alike.

    Stanton believes that through American Riviera Orchard, Meghan has embarked on a path that resonates deeply with her personal values and aspirations. He remarked on the Duchess’s newfound sense of self-assurance and purpose, suggesting that her latest venture represents a culmination of her journey towards self-discovery and fulfillment. “It’s a natural transition for her to embark on,” he said, noting the alignment between Meghan’s interests and the ethos of her lifestyle brand.

    However, the timing of the brand’s introduction has not been without controversy. Amidst reports that King Charles and Kate Middleton are battling cancer, Meghan has reportedly tempered plans for a global expansion of American Riviera Orchard. Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield expressed concerns that an aggressive rollout could be perceived as opportunistic, especially during a period of health crises within the Royal Family.

    “Meghan knows that if she appears even remotely opportunistic while the Royal Family has a cancer cloud hovering, she will be vilified,” Schofield explained, indicating the delicate balance Meghan must navigate as she seeks to build her brand without overshadowing her commitment to empathy and compassion.

    Travis Kelce’s PR firm calls lawyers as document with exact date for Taylor Swift breakup goes viral: report

    Full Scope PR denies the document was issued and authorized by them

    Rumors that Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift was planned swirled around after an alleged contract with an exact date they would break up began appearing online.

    A document from Full Scope PR, a Los Angeles-based firm, began circulating on social media – first on Reddit — with a split-up date of Sept. 28 for Kelce and Swift. It also appeared to outline a plan for how to handle the reaction to the break-up, including allowing “the initial media frenzy to settle and ensure clarity.”

    According to The Daily Mail, Kelce’s reps have denied any such plans to break up with Swift later this month.

    A spokesman from Full Scope told The Daily Mail that the document was “entirely false and fabricated and were not created, issued or authorized by this agency.”

    ‘We have engaged our legal team to initiate proceedings against the individuals or entities responsible for the unlawful and injurious forgery of documents,’ Full Scope added.

    Full Scope PR, one of Kelce’s agents, Michael Simon, and A&A management, a group that also represents him, have not responded to requests for comment by Fox News Digital.

    The document in question points out three key messages: “Respect and Privacy,” “Professional Focus,” and “Personal Growth.” There is also an example of a public statement, which reads, “Travis and Taylor have decided to part ways after careful considerations. They both value and respect each other’s personal lives and appreciate your respect for privacy during this time.”

    The statement would allegedly be sent to major outlets “to ensure broad coverage.”

    As for “Respect and Privacy,” the documents make sure to emphasize “that the breakup was a mutual decision made with respect for each other’s personal lives.”

    In terms of “Personal Growth,” the PR firm allegedly wants it framed as the breakup being “a natural part of life and an opportunity for personal evolution.”

    “Share how Kelce is focusing on personal development, self-improvement, and resilience,” the document read.

    On a different page, the document also breaks down media interviews with various sports and lifestyle outlets, where the focus would be “Kelce’s recent sports achievements and future goals,” while emphasizing “his respect for Taylor Swift and the mutual decision to part ways.”

    Kelce and Swift confirmed their romance together in September 2023, as Swift attended her first of many Chiefs games in Kansas City. They have been going strong ever since, from Swift traveling from a tour date in Japan to Las Vegas to watch Kelce win the Super Bowl, to the star tight end being spotted at numerous concerts this offseason around the globe.

    Meanwhile, Swift continues her shows on the “Eras Tour,” next month in Miami at Hard Rock Stadium on Oct. 18.

    Kate Middleton backs Prince William's major decision about monarchy

    Prince William will return to royal duties tomorrow without the support of his wife, Princess Kate.

    Princess Kate will not be joining Prince William, 42, on his first royal engagement at the Saatchi Gallery tomorrow following a short summer break with the rest of the Royal Family at Balmoral.

    Princess Kate was last seen in public on her way to Crathie Kirk on the Balmoral estate almost two weeks ago.

    The Princess of Wales looked in good spirits as she was driven to church by her husband sporting a tawny trench coat topped off with a hat and feathers.

    The outing marked only the third time this year that the Princess of Wales, 42, made a public appearance, as she continues to focus on her recovery from cancer.
    The first appearance was in June when Kate joined the Royal Family on the Buckingham Palace balcony for Trooping the Colour. That appearance was followed by the Princess of Wales taking her daughter Princess Charlotte, 9, and sister, Pippa Matthews, 40, to the Men’s singles final at Wimbledon in July.

    Both the Princess of Wales and King Charles have been undergoing treatment for undisclosed types of cancer since the beginning of the year. Although the princess has been keeping a rather low profile while she recovers, King Charles has been conducting.a number of public engagements, including a visit to families affected by the Southport stabbings.

    The Prince of Wales will be returning to public duties tomorrow, September 5. William will visit London’s Saatchi Gallery to view the Homelessness: Reframed exhibition

    The exhibition, which is split into three main sections – Invisible Words, Reframed and Open Doors – “brings to life the breadth and complexities of homelessness and aims to help the public to engage with, and better understand, the stories of those who have experienced the issue.
    During the royal engagement, Prince William will meet with artists who contributed pieces to the exhibition, as well as with individuals whose lived experiences inspired some of the artwork. Homelessness: Reframed was created in collaboration with Homewards, the Saatchi Gallery and the Eleven Eleven Foundation.

    Prince William is an advocate for the homeless and those at risk of homelessness. In 2023, William and the Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales launched Homewards, a programme that aims to demonstrate that it’s possible to end homelessness.

    “Through Homewards, I want to make this a reality and over the next five years, give people across the UK hope that homelessness can be prevented when we collaborate,” William said when it was announced. “I am fortunate to have seen first-hand the tireless work of people and organisations across the sector, the tangible impact their efforts can have and what can be done when communities are able to focus on preventing homelessness, rather than managing it.”

    He added: “It’s a big task, but I firmly believe that by working together it is possible to make homelessness rare, brief, and unrepeated and I am very much looking forward to working with our six locations to make our ambition a reality.”

    Meghan Markle seemingly received another setback as she was still struggling to deal with hindrances in her branch launch.

    The Duchess of Sussex, who has been trying to trademark lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, was refused her application and issued merely three months to amend her request or it will be removed from the register.

    As Meghan had to deal with the urgent deadline amid her looming branch launch and its accompanying series on Netflix, the mom of two is now being shunned by her Hollywood connections, a source revealed.

    Namely, Kris Jenner, the Kardashian matriarch, has put off her plans with Meghan and has not included her in her circle of A-list powerhouse pals.

    “Kris hasn’t exactly spat them out, but she’s certainly cooled off the plans that she had in the pipeline to work with the Sussexes – it seems Meghan is no longer in her tight-knit social circle,” the insider told Closer magazine.

    “You don’t see Meghan and Harry making the invite list these days, and Kris has stopped bragging about the projects they have in the works. It’s a very obvious shift from just a few months ago.”

    Kris was one of the many Hollywood A-listers who received the limited edition homemade strawberry jam from her upcoming label.

    The insider also suggested that Kris’ changed attitude towards the Sussexes could be because she “has a lot on her plate” but many wonder if “she’s dropped them because she’s seen the disastrous opinion polls on the Sussexes.”

  • “Nobody with a straight face can say there is a real debate” – Nick Wright says Caitlin is undoubtedly the WNBA ROY

    “Nobody with a straight face can say there is a real debate” – Nick Wright says Caitlin is undoubtedly the WNBA ROY

    Before the WNBA’s Olympic break, there was a real and honest debate regarding who this season’s Rookie of the Year should be between former NCAA superstar Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky’s energetic forward Angel Reese.

    After all, Clark was still getting used to the nuances of the pro game while her team struggled to notch wins. On the other hand, Reese was grabbing rebounds like her life depended on it, making history by registering 15 straight double-doubles.

    However, times have changed since then, as Caitlin has hit her stride, averaging 24.6 points on 47% shooting, 9.0 assists, and 5.0 rebounds per game since the league resumed its games. With the guard from Des Moines, Iowa, finding her comfort level in the WNBA, the Fever have surged, winning six of their last seven games to climb to the sixth seed in the playoff race.

    With these things in mind, renowned sports commentator Nick Wright declared there is no question that Caitlin is the best newcomer in the league right now and should rightfully win the Rookie of the Year award.

    Great white hype" - Nick Wright digs into Caitlin Clark being roped into  double standard race debates

    After a sluggish start in which Caitlin made only 37% of her shots, including a dismal 32% from long distance, the six-foot guard has finally figured things out. She’s now playing with more confidence and freedom, hitting her teammates with pinpoint passes and making deep triples like in the NCAA.

    “The girl is a superstar. A superstar,” Nick declared on ‘What’s Wright? With Nick Wright.’

    Clark is by no means a perfect player, especially with her propensity for turning the ball over. Despite that, Wright says there is absolutely no question who the ROTY is, despite some people’s efforts to argue that Angel deserves it just as much.

    “Is she a perfect player? No. Is she the best player in the league? No, that is clearly and unanimously A’ja Wilson. And that then brings us to the Rookie of the Year thing, which, now, in my opinion, is a different example of people embarrassing themselves,” Wright stated. “Folks have bent over backwards to try to explain why what Angel is doing—which is spectacular—is on par with what Caitlin is doing, which is historic. And it’s just not.”

    Leslie wants Caitlin and Angel to share the ROTY award

    One person who wants Angel to get the same shine as Caitlin is Hall of Famer Lisa Leslie. The three-time WNBA MVP recently posted on X her thoughts regarding the ROTY race, saying the two standouts deserve the award.

    Wright, though, resisted the idea of handing out participation trophies, which, in his opinion, Leslie is suggesting.

    “So, now, all of a sudden, we’re doing participation trophies. Now all of a sudden, we are going to try to pretend like Angel, who again is having a 91 out of 100 rookie season, is on par with Caitlin’s rookie season, which is one of the greatest rookie seasons in the history of the league, if not the greatest. And it’s just embarrassing,” Nick stressed. “Nobody with a straight face can say there is a real debate about who the most impactful or best rookie in women’s basketball has been this year. It’s Caitlin Clark.”

    Angel has played incredible basketball and has proven her worth as a top draft pick in the WNBA. However, Caitlin has shown that she is on a level on her own, both with her performances and ability to lead the once moribund Fever to the cusp of a playoff appearance.

  • “You can r.i.p me to shreds…But please take care of Sam” – Jerry West had a message for the media after trading Sam Perkins

    “You can r.i.p me to shreds…But please take care of Sam” – Jerry West had a message for the media after trading Sam Perkins

    AGM of an NBA franchise sometimes has to make tough decisions based on the team’s sporting perspective rather than personal feelings.

    sam-perkins-jerry-west

    Jerry West, who led the Los Angeles Lakers front office for nearly two decades, encountered such a decision in February 1993. Reluctantly, he had to trade Sam Perkins, whom he described as “one of the best guys we’ve had come through here.” To emphasize that the player was by no means at fault for ending their collaboration, Mr. Clutch made sure to state it publicly.

    “Believe me, this isn’t a trade I wanted to make. I just think it’s going to make us better in the future. And please do me a favor, say nice things about Sam; he’s really down about this. He doesn’t want to go. You can rip me to shreds; I understand those things, and you have a job to do. But please take care of Sam,” West told the press, per Yahoo Sports.

    Perkins’ journey to the NBA

    While with the Tar Heels in the early ’80s, Perkins was teammates with Michael Jordan and James Worthy, who both became Hall of Famers. Sam, however, had the potential to eventually become one as well.

    The 6’9″ forward-center graduated as North Carolina’s all-time leader in rebounds and blocks and was the team’s second-highest scorer. Consequently, the Dallas Mavericks selected him fourth overall in the 1984 NBA Draft.

    After six years in Texas, the All-Rookie First Team member was brought to the City of Angels by West, who had been the Lakers’ GM since 1982.

    “It was a whole ‘nother level of playing professionally,” Perkins recounted about his move. “You had [Mitch] Kupchak, [Jerry] West, [Jerry] Buss, [A.C.] Green, [James] Worthy, [Magic] Johnson, [Byron] Scott. I had a whole slew of guys.”

    Sam quickly made an impact with the Purple and Gold, scoring 28 points in his Lakers starting debut. In the following years, the New York native established himself as one of the league’s best 3-point-shooting big men, once setting a then-record by going 8-for-8 from deep in a game.

    Why the Lakers decided to trade Perkins

    Big Smooth was not only a skilled shooter but also an exceptional defender with an impressive wingspan, once prompting West to remark, “You just don’t find big people that versatile.”

    However, after the Lakers’ impressive run to the Finals in 1991, their dominance began to wane. The 1992 playoffs saw them exit in the first round, and by the mid-1992-93 season, they were struggling with a 26-23 record.

    This decline prompted Jerry and the front office to start rebuilding the team. At 31, Perkins no longer fit into their plans, leading to his trade to Seattle.

    Looking back, the move turned out well for Sam. He settled into the community and found that SuperSonics coach George Karl’s style suited his game perfectly. In hindsight, the former NBA player fondly recalls his five-year stint in Seattle as a “good time.”

  • Martina Navratilova believes Novak Djokovic won’t ‘tarnish’ his ‘ridiculously good’ legacy by continuing to play despite form issues

    Martina Navratilova believes Novak Djokovic won’t ‘tarnish’ his ‘ridiculously good’ legacy by continuing to play despite form issues

    Martina Navratilova joined the discussion to give her opinion about an aging Novak Djokovic who recently lost in the US Open third round.

    Martina Navratilova doesn’t think playing for a long time while struggling with poor form will ruin Novak Djokovic‘s reputation. Many think Djokovic’s form has started to decline as he failed to win a title on the ATP Tour this year, and the gold medal at the Paris Olympics that had eluded him for a long time was the only title he was able to win.

    Navratilova believes Djokovic won’t be hanging up his racket in the near future as he is eyeing the historic 25th Grand Slam, aiming to surpass Margaret Court as both are tied with 24 majors. The 18-time Grand Slam singles champion also feels that winning his 25th major trophy won’t stop Djokovic as he will have the desire to keep on winning more in the next major tournaments.

    It depends how much the fire is still burning. If it’s still burning, I’m never going to say ‘you shouldn’t play’, because he’s never going to tarnish his legacy – it’s ridiculously good.

    Martina Navratilova said during the Q&A session for Sky Sports

    Djokovic won the Olympic gold medal by beating Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets. He skipped a couple of hard-court tournaments before arriving at Flushing Meadows, where he registered easy wins in his first two rounds before losing to Alexei Popyrin in four sets in the third round. It was the first time since 2017 that Djokovic failed to add a major title to his trophy cabinet in a season.

    Martina Navratilova: Novak Djokovic should 'just go home'

    Novak Djokovic used to show his humorous side often during the early years of his career. His most popular antic was his imitation of Maria Sharapova, which led to many thinking that Djokovic was trying hard to please everyone, which wasn’t the case as Paul McNamee, who has known Djokovic for a long time, talked about how the Serb always had an easygoing personality before he became a celebrity.

    When he imitated Sharapova and the others, people said that he was trying too hard to please others, but actually, that was Novak- that’s what I saw when he was a teenager, simply that’s how he was, open, that’s how he was before ‘Novak Djokovic’ became a celebrity.

    Paul McNamee said during an interaction with Sport Klub

    Djokovic’s next tournament is the Davis Cup for Serbia against Greece, which is scheduled to start on September 14. Following the Davis Cup, Djokovic will feature in the Shanghai Open for the first time since 2019.

    Playing in the NBA is a dream come true for aspiring basketball stars, paving the way for a luxury lifestyle. In addition to the lucrative contracts, NBA stars are celebrated with mouth-watering endorsement deals and various business ventures. Golden State Warriors star guard Stephen Curry is among the richest NBA players and enjoys various benefits.

    According to Celebrity Net Worth, Stephen Curry has a net worth of $240 million. Among his notable investments, the 36-year-old Curry has an impressive garage with many luxurious cars.

    Let’s look at the Warriors guard’s whopping $759K car collection.

    Infiniti Q50

    Nissan’s luxury brand Infiniti signed Stephen Curry in 2017 as the brand ambassador. The Warriors guard appeared in several commercials and promotional campaigns for the brand.
