When it comes to lifestyles of the rich and famous, it is not surprising for a celebrity to be on that list.

From playing the lead in “ Fruitvale Station” to embodying the role of Erik Killmonger in the Marvel smash hit, “ Black Panther ,” Jordan’s star has never been brighter. Meanwhile, even off the silver screen he has snagged several endorsements including teaming up with Tessa Thompson for high profile commercials that aired during the Super Bowl. But exactly how rich is he and how did his career reach its current height? Michael B. Jordan’s Early Life Michael Bakari Jordan is a California native who was born in 1987 in Santa Ana.

Although reports show esports is projected to reach 285 million frequent users by 2024, those numbers, although impressive, have less significance if the Black community remains underrepresented and under-resourced.

The inception of Cxmmunity began in Georgia, a state that has reportedly become the esports capital of the nation. And, its city of Atlanta is marked as one of the premier locations for U.S. gamers due to the venues and infrastructures, which can house the necessary elements of an esports ecosystem. However, despite the state’s gleaming presence for gamers, there are still inequities for the Black population within the school systems. According to Peay, there were evident discrepancies...

A new report by Variety revealed a very sad truth about the biggest salaries in Hollywood. The outlet reports that the actor who got the biggest payday in Tinsel Town was none other than Daniel Craig. The current James Bond received more than $100 million for the “Knives Out” sequels, which are being directed by Hollywood heavyweight Rian Johnson.
