When you're bringing in the kind of money Dr. Dre is your financial advisers are constantly looking for ways to protect and continue to build your fortune.
One of the best investments possible would be to own a piece of a successful NBA, MLB or NFL franchise. With Donald Sterling's time as the owner of the L.A. Clippers likely winding down, there are quite a few big names that have expressed interest in owning the team.
TMZ caught up with Dre recently and he said he is "absolutely" interested in buying them. On Wednesday, Forbes published an article listing other potential suitors. Take a look below.
Mayweather threw his name in the ring Tuesday while talking to the media promoting his Saturday fight with Marcos Maidana in Las Vegas. “I called Al (Haymon) today about that to see if me, Leonard (Ellerbe) and Al, and hopefully Richard (Schaefer) and a couple of other guys, a couple other of my billionaire guys, we can come together and see what we can come up with,” Mayweather said. “Hopefully, we can do it, and it’s not just talk. Mayweather has made more than $350 million during his boxing career, but carries too much baggage to garner entry into the NBA club. A jail sentence for domestic violence, a penchant for gambling and his own racist rant against Manny Pacquiao are a few of the strikes against a bid involving Mayweather.
Oscar De La Hoya
De La Hoya retired as a boxer in 2009, and has built the biggest boxing promotion firm in the U.S. with the help of Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer. De La Hoya has a statue outside of the Staples Center, but that is likely to be as close as De La Hoya gets to Staples. He has his own baggage, including photos of him in fishnet stockings and multiple trips to rehab.
Billy Crystal
Crystal’s name has been bandied about by others. The comedian/actor and long-time Clippers superfan was asked this week about buying the team. He responded in jest: “We’re in negotiations.” Crystal owns a small piece of the Arizona Diamondbacks, but don’t expect him to be the Clippers boss.
Chris Hansen
The hedge fund manager partnered with former Microsoft MSFT -0.53% CEO Steve Ballmerto try and bring the Sacramento Kings to Seattle with the promise of a new arena. He reached an agreement with the Kings’ owners in January 2013, but the relocation and sale were rejected after a Sacramento group led by Vivek Ranadive stepped in to buy the team. Hansen clearly wants an NBA team, but it is highly unlikely the NBA would approve a move by the Clippers to Seattle.
Rick Caruso
Real Estate tycoon Rick Caruso struck out in his bid to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers. He expressed interest this week in buying the Clippers. Caruso is often labeled a billionaire in the press, but he falls short of the Forbes billionaires list.
Henry Samueli (net worth $2 billion)
Samueli cofounded chipmaker Broadcom and bought the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks in 2005. He tried to lure the Kings to the Honda Center in Anaheim to fill the building with NBA dates, but was denied. The Clippers just signed a 10-year lease extension at the Staples Center, but Samueli could play the long game in hopes of the Clips making the short hop to Anaheim.
Larry Ellison (net worth: $49.3 billion)
The fifth richest man in the world made previous runs at buying the Golden State Warriors and New Orleans Hornets, but was outbid both times. If the Clippers’ sale becomes a bidding war, no one has a bigger war chest than Ellison.
Patrick Soon-Shiong (net worth $9.8 billion)
The surgeon turned entrepreneur is the wealthiest resident of L.A. Magic Johnson sold his 4% stake in the Lakers to Soon-Shiong in 2010. Could he trade his purple and gold for red and royal blue?
David Geffen (net worth $6.2 billion)
The entertainment mogul told Forbes reporter Ryan Mac on Tuesday, “I would very much like to buy the team.” Geffen made a $700 million offer to buy the team in 2010, but was rebuffed. The price tag has definitely gone up.
Magic Johnson & Guggenheim Partners
Johnson has been a part of the Sterling story from the beginning. It was pictures of Sterling’s girlfriend with Johnson on Instagram that set Sterling off on his racist rant. Johnson and his financial backers, Guggenheim, are interested in buying the Clippers, according to Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski. If interested, the Johnson group is the clear favorite. The NBA would love to bring Magic into the fold. He is royalty in NBA circles. The Johnson/Guggenheim group blew other bidders out of the water paying $2 billion for the Dodgers. Guggenheim would also love to get its hands on the Clippers for TV purposes. The Dodgers’ rich price tag was fueled by an expected local TV deal with Time Warner Cable, which eventually climbed to $8.5 billion. TWC is having trouble getting carriers to pick up the Dodgers’ new regional sports channel, but adding another team to the mix would make the channel more valuable.

Columbus Short's estranged wife, Toure Tanee McCall, has filed new legal documents hoping to keep the actor far away from her and their 2-year old daughter.
As we previously reported, McCall has filed for divorce and gotten a restraining order against Short following several domestic violence incidents, including threatening murder/suicide on April 7.
The former Scandal star was recently escorted by police as he moved out of the home he and McCall previously shared.
McCall now claims that her soon-to-be ex-husband broke into the home over Easter weekend and ransacked the place while she was away.
According to McCall, Short left on a bunch of lights, ripped sheets off a beds and tore a door off of it's hinges.
This situation seems to be getting worse. Hopefully the two will be able to sort this out peacefully and move on separately for the sake of their child.

A fight between security at the Supperclub in Los Angeles and associates of T.I. and The Game led to an intense standoff between the rappers and police on the scene.
The incident happened early Wednesday morning, April 30. A group of men affiliated with the rappers were denied entrance to the club. An argument ensued leading to one of the men throwing a punch at a security guard.
That led to a fight between the security staff and 2 of the men. Both men were quickly beaten down and subdued.
Tip and Game come out of the club and confront police who were on the scene, but not involved in the fight. The two mistakenly thought the cops were the one who beat up their friends.
The standoff continued for several minutes. It looked like the situation was going to get even more violent, but luckily things ended without anyone else getting hurt..

The New York Police Department are looking to question The-Dream about an alleged assault on his baby's mother, Lydia Nam, who was pregnant at the time.
The incident reportedly happened in April 2013 at the Plaza Hotel, three months before Nam gave birth to The-Dream, real name Terius Nash's son.
According to TMZ, Nam was punched kicked and strangled during the assault. She didn't file charges until November.
Sources close to The-Dream insist Nam, who is from Canada, is lying and made up the story to extend her U.S. visa.
The singer/producer/songwriter was previously arrested last June in Newport Beach, California for assaulting Nam, but she refused to press charges.
When the NYPD catch up with him, he will be taken into custody.
**UPDATE** May 7
The-Dream has turned himself in to authorities, according to TMZ. He reportedly walked into an NYPD precinct this morning at 8:30 a.m.
The singer was booked for child endangerment, assault and reckless endangerment. In total he was hit with 2 felonies and three misdemeanors and remains in police custody.

Commissioner Silver thank you for protecting our beautiful and powerful league!! Great leader!! #BiggerThanBasketball #StriveForGreatness
— LeBron James (@KingJames) April 29, 2014The NBA acted swiftly and decisively in dealing with Donald Sterling. Commissioner Adam Silver announced that Sterling is banned for life and would be pressured to sell the L.A. Clippers after racist audio of him speaking with a former girlfriend surfaced.
It was great news for current and former players who were hoping for a quick resolution to the problem. Many of them headed to Twitter to share their feelings.
"Commissioner Silver showed great leadership in banning LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life,: Magic Johnson wrote. "Former and current NBA players are very happy and satisfied with Commissioner Silver's ruling. Now the Clippers players and fans can concentrate on the game tonight against the Warriors with Commissioner Silver's decision. Current and former NBA players now know that in Commissioner Adam Silver we have a great leader leading our league. Now let's hope that the other 29 owners do the right thing. The people who I'm happiest for are Coach Doc Rivers, the Clippers players and fans. I wish I was in LA, I would be at the Clipper game tonight!"
Other shared similar sentiments.
Adam silver has shown great leadership Nba is not a safe haven for racism or ignorance find a new home! #nba #support #thebestleague
— Kenny Smith (@TheJetOnTNT) April 29, 2014Dwight Howard on Sterling "We live in United States. We should be united." Then he walked away and broke into song w/nat'l anthem. Awesome!
— Marty Snider (@heymartysnider) April 29, 2014Commissioner Silver....STRONG...way to take charge and protect our great league.

Clippers coach Doc Rivers released a statement via NBA.com
“I would like to reiterate how disappointed I am in the comments attributed to [Donald Sterling] and I can’t even begin to tell you how upset I am and our players are. Today, I had a meeting with the members of our organization. When you are around all these people, you realize they are just as upset and embarrassed by the situation and it does not reflect who they really are. That was what I got from all of them. They are now a part of this and they are upset at this. But, they are all going to hang in there and so are we - I can tell you that as a group and as a team. From our fans’ standpoint, I want to say that they have been amazing, I can tell you that. We need unbelievable support right now from other people and I’m hoping we get that. My hope is that whatever the fans do, it is as one. I think that is what we all should do.
“We want to make the right decisions here. We’re doing our very best to try and do that. We know that fans are in a dilemma as well. We want them to cheer for their players and their team. It will always be their players and their team. From the fans that I have heard from, that’s how they feel. ‘This is my team. These are my players that I’m cheering for and that’s not going to change.’ I hope STAPLES Center is packed and people are cheering for the players. The players are now in the middle of this, and they have to deal with it.
“We are all trying to figure out everything as it goes and just do our best and we hope that it is the right answer. I’m still going to do my best and do what I think is best for the team and for everybody in this case. It is very difficult because there are so many emotions in this. This is a very emotional subject, this is personal.
“My belief is that the longer we keep winning, the more we talk about this. I believe that is good. If we want to make a statement - I believe that is how we have to do it. I think that is the right way to do it, but that doesn’t mean we still don’t wrestle with it every day and every moment. That is the difficult part.
“We are all doing our best here. Our players are doing their best. There are a lot of people involved in this. From one man’s comments, a lot of people have been affected and the conversations that we’re all having do need to be had.”

If the National Basketball Association expected Donald Sterling to go quietly into the night, they were wrong. Although he didn't appear on camera, Sterling told Jim Gtay of Fox News that the "L.A. Clippers were not for sale and he would not be selling them team."
Earlier today Commissioner Adam Silver announced Sterling was banned for life, fined $2.5 million and would be pressured to sell his team.
Adam Silver
Sounds like this might be a long drawn out battle.
