REVEALED: Jaw dropping amount Drake has gambled and lost
R&B superstar Drake shared online the jaw dropping amount of money he has not only gambled but lost in the past month.
The 38-year-old, born Aubrey Graham, has a long and public history of gambling but only just gave fans an inside peak into how much he is spending - and losing.
In his betting slip posted to Instagram story on Wednesday, the rapper revealed that he has spent a whopping $192 million on gambling in just the past month — while losing $12m. Rapper Drake revealed the unbelievable amount he has gambled in the past month. Credit: Instagram
'Gotta share the other side of gambling.... losses are so fried right now,' Drake wrote in the caption of his Instagram story.
'I hope I can post a big win for you all soon cause I'm the only one that has never seen a max, these guys max once a week.'
Drake has been very open and public with his gambling for years now, often backing the losing side which has coined the term the 'Drake Curse'.
A belief that any team that Drake bets on will lose, with examples including $1.8m on Sean Strickland in UFC 297, $1.5m on the Toronto Maple Leafs in game seven in 2019 and $549,000 on Mike Tyson to beat Jake Paul — all bets that lost.

His live streams became popular and a viral moment came when Drake said 'I need a max win', which fans and viewers shared online.
The slogan was characterised by the rapper as 'Anita Max Wynn', which he sold on merchandise and became the name of his tour that stopped off in Perth earlier this year.
Despite the losses, the founder of OVO Sound is not slowing down, posting another bet slip for game six of the NBA finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers. Rapper Drake revealed the unbelievable amount he has gambled in the past month. Credit: Instagram

Gina Rinehart spends tens of thousands of dollars to evacuate media chief from Israel
We last encountered Radford spinning for the Liberals' failed candidate, Ro Knox, in the hard-fought Liberal-Teal battle for Wentworth at the last election. And before that, he popped up at Mar-a-Lago in November as US President Donald Trump celebrated his return with a lavish event. Clearly a man with a knack of being at the centre of the news cycle. While in Israel as stress levels rose, Radford was sharply critical of the Australian government at one point, posting 'Thank God for the private sector!' on Instagram after attacking the government for having 'ZERO plan on how to get Aussies out'. It is fair to say this attitude and Radford's speedy evacuation rankled with some other Australians who were stuck in Tel Aviv while he made it out against Australian and Israeli government advice, which in the early stages was to stay close to bomb shelters. But Radford said he was given advice from another source to evacuate. 'I think the Australian government could have been more prepared and acted faster,' he told CBD. Radford made his way in a convoy of black luxury minivans to the Jordanian border and then to Amman and a flight back to Melbourne when airspace was open. And judging by his Insta post of a breakfast tray of a silver basket containing heated croissants, a pat of butter and a jam pot, he clearly wasn't flying coach. CJ Hendry does Chaddy Chadstone Shopping Centre, aka Melbourne's Fashion Capital, is busy playing host to one of Australia's most successful contemporary artists. And here we were thinking Chaddy was just a place to enjoy a nice plate of lemon chicken. CJ Hendry – South African-born and New York-based but a self-described 'Brissie bogan' – has grown quite the following on social media. Although she has no interest in the traditional art world or Australia's stuffy Archibald Prize, her almost 900,000 Instagram followers are serving her just fine – thank you very much! This Lost & Found exhibition is based on Hendry's first visit to the Fashion Capital, where she grew quickly disoriented among the centre's 500 different stores. 'It's like a labyrinth,' the artist mused. Loading We couldn't agree more, CJ. On Wednesday night, the champagne flowed, costumed ladies glided around on stilts, and an ever-enthusiastic disc jockey spun some bouncy Dua Lipa remixes. But Hendry and her team were surely weary after basically pulling an all-nighter to finish building the set pieces in time. (Some parts of the exhibition were held up at the Australian border, you see). No sign of the centre's billionaire nonagenarian owner, John Gandel. He was getting a private viewing at a later date, of course. But in true Melbourne fashion, a gaggle of event connoisseurs flocked to the city's south-east. Former queen of the FM airwaves, Kate Langbroek, was spotted beelining straight for the caviar and oysters, and indulging in both a negroni and a glass of Moet. Lovable larrikins Symon Lovett and Adam Densten of Gogglebox Australia fame couldn't resist being patrons of the arts – nor could fellow Network 10 Melebrity Sam Wood from the 2015 edition of The Bachelor. And Lauren Phillips from Nova's Melbourne breakfast show was the lucky winner of a Hendry original, if social media is to be believed. Overall, CBD liked what they did with the place. This columnist almost forgot we were sitting inside a shopping centre … As long as we ignored the giant Target logo in our peripheral vision. CHUniverse Potts Point Vietnamese joint Lady Chu has become an unlikely magnet for the Sydney's good and great ever since CBD revealed its outspoken owner Nahji Chu 's profane but righteous rant at a bunch of hapless council workers. The latest customers – South Australian Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young with her dining companion, Sydney independent MP Alex Greenwich. Gotta take the out-of-towners to the best spots. As CBD has reported previously, Greenwich, a protegee of Sydney's forever Lord Mayor Clover Moore, took up the role of unlikely peacemaker in Chu's war with the council. Helps to have friends on both sides. The restaurant's success – Nigella Lawson dined there last week – represents quite the comeback for Chu. A decade ago, her Vietnamese tuckshop empire MissChu collapsed with millions owed to creditors, including unpaid staff entitlements. Now, she's talk of the town. Stela job shift Last year, the Albanese government suddenly got very excited about quantum computers. So excited that it invested $470 million in Silicon Valley-based start-up PsiQuantum, which is planning to build a supercomputer in Brisbane. The investment was matched by Queensland's then-Labor government. Loading But the Coalition has continued to cry foul about the deal, pointing to links between then-industry and science minister Ed Husic 's staff and one of the company's investors. Last year, the newly elected Liberal National government in Queensland promised to review its predecessors' investment, claiming PsiQuantum was 'dripping with Labor lobbyists'. Naturally, the company had hired Labor-aligned lobbyists, as most ambitious corporates in Canberra have. And now, they've picked up another Labor connection straight out of the Prime Minister's Office, with Stela Todorovic, one of Anthony Albanese 's 10 media advisers (none of whom answer CBD's calls), joining the company. And then there were nine. Todorovic, formerly a press gallery rising star, joined the PMO two years ago when she resigned from Network 10 after being passed over to replace Peter Van Onselen (remember that guy?) as political editor. Now, she joins the classic post-election reshuffle as staffers come and go from the ministerial wing.

'He's desperately hoping': Prince Harry's emotional motivation for letting Meghan share photos of Archie and Lilibet online revealed by insider
Prince Harry is reportedly allowing his wife Meghan Markle to post more photos of their children online in the hopes it will prompt a reconciliation with his father, King Charles III. The Duke of Sussex, who has long guarded the privacy of his young children, six-year-old Prince Archie and four-year-old Princess Lilibet, has traditionally avoided sharing images of them publicly. However, since Meghan's return to Instagram earlier this year, glimpses into their family life have become more frequent. Most recently, the 43-year-old Duchess shared a series of photos and videos from a family trip to Disneyland to celebrate Lili's birthday, offering rare insight into their life in California. According to a source quoted by Daily Mail Spotlight, Harry's decision is part of a "desperate" effort to show the Royal Family what they're missing out on- especially his father. "Harry is completely heartbroken," the insider said. "His dad refuses to see him or the kids- not even on Zoom… It's a last resort. "He's desperately hoping the King might see a picture of Archie or Lilibet and realise what he's missing." The insider also claimed Harry has made multiple attempts to reconnect with his family. "He's tried everything- calls, letters… But nothing's worked," they added. "This is his way of saying, 'Look at what you're missing'." The report comes shortly after Harry spoke to BBC News about his ongoing estrangement from the Royal Family and his hopes for healing the rift. "There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family," he said from his Montecito home after losing a legal battle over his UK security arrangements. "I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious." Harry added, "I don't know how much longer my father has. "He won't speak to me because of this security stuff. But it would be nice to reconcile." Since stepping down from royal duties in 2020, Harry and Meghan have built a new life in the US, launching a number of projects including their Archewell Foundation, a podcast series, a bombshell memoir and a lucrative partnership with Netflix. Through Archewell, the couple have championed child safety online via The Parents Network and recently hosted an event in New York calling for stronger protections on social media platforms. "Life is better off social media," Harry said at the time. While Meghan still rarely shows her children's faces online, she's said her new Instagram presence is focused on authenticity. "You have to be authentic," she said in an interview with British entrepreneur Emma Grede on the Aspire podcast. "…I'm just grateful that now, being back on social (media) as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms." has contacted Sussex representatives for comment.
