Julianne Moore's net worth: From luxury cars, properties, and endorsements - A look at the Siren star's earnings
Julianne Moore, the acclaimed American-British actress, is making headlines with her portrayal of Michaela Kell aka Kiki in the new Netflix show Sirens. Julianne has carved out a remarkable career in Hollywood, amassing a net worth of $55 million. She rose to fame in the early 1990s, recognised for her emotionally rich performances, particularly portraying women in distress. In 2020, she was ranked 11th in The New York Times' list of the 25 Greatest Actors of the 21st Century. Julianne Moore made a name for herself with a series of strong supporting roles during the '90s. Her breakthrough came with Robert Altman's Short Cuts in 1993, followed by impressive turns in Vanya on 42nd Street and Safe. By the mid-1990s, starring roles in blockbusters such as Nine Months and The Lost World: Jurassic Park made her a global name. Oscar nominations poured in for her performances in Boogie Nights, The End of the Affair, Far from Heaven, and The Hours. Other standout roles include appearances in The Big Lebowski, Magnolia, Hannibal, and Children of Men. In the 2010s, she continued to shine with The Kids Are Alright and her award-winning portrayal of Sarah Palin in Game Change. Her 2014 performance in Still Alice, where she played a linguistics professor diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's, earned her the Golden Globe, BAFTA, SAG Award, and ultimately, her first Academy Award. That same year, she starred in Maps to the Stars and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1. She followed this with more strong roles, including appearances in Wonderstruck, Suburbicon, and Kingsman: The Golden Circle in 2017. Moore's success in film translated into an impressive property portfolio. In 1999, she purchased a duplex loft in New York's West Village for $911,500, later selling it for $1.95 million in 2002. In 2003, she acquired a townhouse in the same area for $3.5 million, which she attempted to sell for up to $12.5 million. She still owns this property. She also owns a home in the Hamptons, purchased in 2007 for $1.05 million. Although she listed it for sale in 2015, she later removed it from the market. During the 2020 pandemic, she and her family stayed there frequently, though they eventually moved to a nearby 10-acre property with enhanced security after an unexpected and unsettling incident involving a drunken intruder. Julianne Moore's car collection reflects a mix of practicality and opulence. Her most modest vehicle is a Toyota Prius, priced at approximately $24,525. She also owns a luxurious Mercedes-Benz S-Class worth $112,150, and the pinnacle of her collection is the Lexus LS 600hL, valued at $113,150.

A Soviet-born businessman will decide the future of the NRL
DAZN, described as the Netflix of sports, is a mystery to Australians. It broadcasts in markets all over the world, with 20 million global subscribers, predominantly across Europe, where it is the largest digital broadcaster, Asia and the Americas. It is owned by American-British citizen businessman Len Blavatnik, said to be worth around $40 billion. He made his fortune in plastics and chemicals following the break-up of the Soviet Union, and also owns Warner Music, taking it over in similar circumstances to Foxtel, as it too was laden with debt. Since the handover, the spin has been that it will be steady as she goes for Foxtel, a comforting position for the NRL. It would be naive to fall for it. Since when has a powerful multibillionaire anywhere in the globe taken over a business and just let it roll along, especially when he had to wipe $2 billion of debt? Evidence of inevitable change occurred last week when 100 Foxtel staff across marketing and engineering were made redundant. The ownership change of Foxtel is of enormous significance for Peter V'landys and his NRL Commission. In News Corporation, it had a familiar ally, with vested interests in the health of the NRL. Despite the fact News secured a minority 6 per cent stake in DAZN and a board position, it will have little say, beyond guidance. In DAZN and Blavatnik, the NRL doesn't know exactly what they're dealing with. It does, though, have a significant bargaining chip. The game. Without NRL, Foxtel and its digital sports arm Kayo would lose subscribers hand-over-fist on the eastern seaboard. But the NRL doesn't just need DAZN to keep the rights, it needs it to pay big for them – way bigger than News Corporation ever did via Foxtel. V'landys has been smarting after accepting slightly in excess of $2 billion over five years (2023-27) from Nine and Foxtel in a post-COVID move in late 2021. The amount was light, and V'landys made a startling admission in this masthead at the time that part of the reason he did the deal was because ' if Fox coughs, all the codes catch a cold '. It came back to bite him. After he prevented Fox from coughing, the AFL swooped on the healthy company's good fortune just seven months later and drew $4.5 billion for seven years from Seven and Foxtel, dwarfing the NRL deal by about $200 million a year. It hurt. He's determined to make amends, flooding the media with stats for the past year which back the position that the NRL draws bigger audiences and richer engagement than the AFL. He hates losing to the Victorians, and his battle with them in the racing industry in his role as Racing NSW CEO is the genesis of a move by some powerful figures in that industry to oust him. V'landys has publicly talked up the possibility of a $3 billion bonanza for the five years from 2027-31. He has put a target on it, and anything short may be seen as a failure. That's where it gets tricky. DAZN is the key, and the NRL has to convince it to pay 50 per cent more than Foxtel did last time, or at the very least be such a keen bidder it forces someone else to. Loading Who is the someone else? Free-to-air broadcaster Nine, the publisher of this masthead, and its digital arm Stan could try and go it alone, as could Seven. You can rule Ten out, and then there's the fanciful notion Netflix, Amazon or another global streamer could come in. Splitting the rights up, as the NFL in the US does with different broadcasters on different days, should be dismissed. Fans would not cop multiple digital subscriptions to watch their beloved game in a cost-of-living crisis.

Hezbollah praised on Sunday the qualitative operation carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces targeting Ben Gurion Airport in the heart of the temporary entity, 'penetrating all Zionist and American defense systems and accurately striking its target, shattering the arrogance of this entity'. In a statement, Hezbollah affirmed that this heroic attack reaffirms the failure of the American-British aggression against Yemen and its inability to break the steadfast will of the Yemeni people or force them to retreat from their honorable stance in supporting Gaza, lifting the siege on it, and confronting the genocide being waged by the Zionist enemy against innocent civilians. The firm and resolute position of the dear Yemeni people and their wise and courageous leadership in supporting Gaza and its resisting people—despite the ongoing aggression and suffocating siege upon them—is a source of pride and honor for all the free people of the Ummah, the statement added. 'It stands as a proof against all Arab and Islamic states and peoples, compelling everyone, regardless of circumstances, to dedicate all available capabilities to support Gaza and its people.' Yemeni Revolutionaries say there are no red lines in the fight against the Zionist entity as a ballistic missile impacts in Ben Gurion Airport, with Israeli occupation military failing to intercept the projectile. Millions of Israelis went to shelters as sirens blare in central 'Israel' on Sunday morning.

Massive rallies in Al-Bayda in solidarity with Gaza & readiness to confront US aggression
Bayda - Saba: Al-Bayda province witnessed massive public rallies on Friday in the provincial center and its districts, condemning the crimes of the Zionist enemy in Gaza and responding to the American-British aggression against Yemen under the slogan "With Gaza & Palestine… Against the killers & the Arrogant." The crowds, led by Al-Bayda Governor Abdullah Idris, deputy governors, local and executive leaders, and officials of the General Mobilization, raised the Yemeni and Palestinian flags, chanting slogans denouncing the Zionist-American-British aggression against Gaza and Yemen. They affirmed their steadfast and principled stance in supporting their brothers in Gaza, regardless of the sacrifices, and vowed to continue mobilization efforts and enhance readiness to confront the Zionist-American aggression. The people of Al-Bayda declared their disavowal of all agents, traitors, and mercenaries serving America and Israel, emphasizing their opposition to anyone who cooperates with, provides intelligence to, or supports the enemy in any form. A statement issued by the rallies declared: "In continuation of our duty and adherence to the just and honorable stance of Yemen—the land of faith, wisdom, and jihad—we marched today in million-strong rallies in solidarity with the oppressed Muslim Palestinian people and in response to the crimes of the American-British-Zionist aggression against our country. We renew our pledge and loyalty to God, His Messenger (peace be upon him and his family), and the banners of guidance represented by his successors, while disavowing the enemies of God—the leaders of disbelief, America and Israel—on the anniversary of the 'Scream Against the Arrogant." The statement noted that on the anniversary of the "Scream Against the Arrogant," marking the first practical step in launching the blessed Quranic project, they recalled the early beginnings of the Quranic march and the confident strides made with divine support, overcoming immense challenges, plots, and conspiracies that ultimately shattered before this great project. It added: "The great achievements we witness today, the divine promises fulfilled, and the manifestations of our unique and distinguished faith-based stance with Gaza only strengthen our conviction in the correctness of this wise Quranic path."The statement called on the nation to sincerely return to the path of the Holy Quran, raise voices in disavowal of God's enemies, and activate economic boycott as effective and impactful practical measures. The statement further affirmed: "Our steadfast stance with Gaza and Palestine against the murderers and the arrogant remains unwavering. We assert that America's support for the Zionist enemy and its aggression against us will not deter us from backing Gaza—it has already failed. Our Mujahideen in the armed forces have delivered successive blows, the latest being the strike on its aircraft carrier Truman and its warplanes."
