Haute 100 LA: George and Amal Clooney Join Sunday Times Rich List

As if we needed more reason to envy the celebrity couple, George and Amal Clooney have been inaugurated to the Sunday Times rich list. The couple’s combined wealth of $184 million landing them at #790 on the list of the 1000 most affluent people in the UK and Ireland.

It shouldn’t be too surprising, considering Clooney’s turn in the $500 million generating film Gravity and Amal being one of the highest earning activists in the world.

Mark Wahlberg, who’s massive financial success grants him access to studio-funded passion projects, has found a screenwriter for his upcoming Peter Berg-directed film Six Billion Dollar Man. Damián Szifron, the writer behind the Best Foreign Film Oscar-nominated Wild Tales, has agreed to pen the film. “I couldn’t be more honored and grateful,” says Szifron, “Such a major challenge represents a great opportunity.”

The film is based on the classic show The Six Million Dollar Man and Martin Caidin’s novel Cyborg. The film will exist in the sci-fi action genre following Wahlberg as a man named Steve Austin who becomes part of a government project after an accident leaves him near death. With technology, Austin is brought back to life with robotic parts making him super-strong and the world’s first bionic man.

“The themes surrounding this property allow for the creation of a memorable sci-fi actioner as well as a bold spy thriller,” says Szifron, “I’ll do my best to deliver the strongest basis for an amazing cinematic experience.”

Pharrell Williams and comedian Kevin Hart have banded together creating a scholarship for 20 outstanding disadvantaged youths. Actor Anthony Anderson, rapper Big Sean, singer Toni Braxton and basketball superstar Chris Paul all contributed to the fund making a cool $312,500. Usher, Williams, Paul, And Hart each filmed footage surprising lucky students with the scholarships for the UNCF’s 36^th annual An Evening of Stars.

Anderson once benefitted himself from a partial scholarship when he was a student at Harvard and was proud to be a part of the benefit, “My parents couldn’t afford sending me to school, so I understand firsthand,” he says, “We’re here to alleviate the burden off their shoulders.”
