The sum represents an increase on the $3.6m taken home by last year's champions but, for one star, the Wimbledon title would prove far more significant than the stunning prize money. US star Emma Navarro, who was raised in New York, boasts a personal fortune so vast that the tournament's prize money would be like short change to her. Emma is the daughter of wealthy American billionaire investment tycoon, Ben Navarro, and the tennis star is quietly sitting on a $3.8bn inheritance. Tycoon Ben, 62, married to Emma's mother Kelly, built his billionaire empire thanks to numerous business ventures, most notably being the founder and owner of Sherman Financial Group, which has assets such as Cr...

A young Aussie worker has shared how he went from not making a cent for six months to earning close to $300,000 a year . The real estate industry can be an extremely lucrative one, but it involves a huge amount of sacrifice and hustle before you can see the big bucks.

Locals in one of the UK's most poverty-stricken areas have warned that its council is 'neglecting pockets of deprivation at its peril'. Caia Park, Wrexham, is the largest council housing estate in Wales and has been plagued with 'generational' child poverty and unemployment issues for more than two decades. Despite an influx of far-flung tourists and Hollywood A-listers piling into the city every other week to watch football, many children and families are going hungry just 10 minutes from the Racecourse Ground. It is only due to the relentless work of charities and social enterprises that starving kids are staying off the streets away from the temptation of crime , drugs and violence, say many locals. But with a lack of funding from Wrexham County Borough Council and requests for grants being exhausted, the funds to keep these organisations afloat are quickly dwindling - sparking fears over the future consequences. Colin Powell, 63, has lived on ...

Then, he had a brainwave that turned his life around . ‘I was so desperate to get out of this situation I was in,’ he tells . ‘I walked past a big house that had a really messy garden, and thought maybe they’d pay me to tidy it a bit.
