The documents also stack up well against other valuable baseball documents, easily beating the $1.
Variety reports that replacing Spacey’s performance in the film with one by Christopher Plummer will tack an extra $10 million onto its production costs, which doesn’t even account for the time and labor involved in making the switch by the film’s scheduled release date on December 22nd.

McDonald’s and Hasbro first joined forces in 1987. The marketing plan for McDonald’s Monopoly followed the game quite closely. When it was first launched, every McDonald’s customer received two tokens. When you combined properties, which were matched by colors, you won money. Over the years, the grand prize has most often been $1 million, but there was a $5 million prize offered in 2006, as well. The tokens that resulted in cash prizes, or large food giveaways, were fairly rare, but customers could still win smaller free food items by getting “instant win” tokens.

Then there’s all the people affected by the infamous Ponzi scheme perpetrated by Bernie Madoff. In fact, let’s start with the path of destruction Madoff set in motion.
However, Shazier made a triumphant, emotional return to the franchise during the NFL Draft, walking across the stage to announce Pittsburgh’s first-round pick. It was a touching moment – but the Steelers’ latest move is even more admirable. Pittsburgh has converted $8.26 million of Shazier’s $8.718 million base salary into a signing bonus. That means Shazier, who’s on the PUP list and won’t play this year, can make his money immediately.
On top of all of that, baseball players get paid very well. Sure, you have to toil for years in the minor leagues, which can take a very real toll on both mind and body. But once you make it to the show you’re raking in some great cash. And if you’re really lucky, you can score a deal like Alex Rodriguez, who made $21 million from the Yankees last year despite not suiting up for a single game.

Tull played baseball and football when he was growing up and attended Hamilton College in New York.
The gift is specifically for the establishment of what will be called Ohana House, a structure for both inpatient treatment with an “innovative approach to child and adolescent behavioral health” as well as family counseling and other outpatient programs. Ohana, as you know if you saw Lilo and Stitch, means “family” in Hawaiian, a point clarified by Montage’s press statement about the project. Also in the statement is Elliott’s inspiration for the donation – her grandfather Ernest Buffett: In addition to construction of the Ohana House, a “significant portion” of Elliott’s $105.
