What is the Liver King's Net Worth?
In 2023, Brian Johnson claimed that his net worth was $310 million. However, MoneyMade took a look and judged the Liver King's liquid net worth to be closer to $12 million.
The site reports that Johnson has invested in four supplement brands and that each brand is performing at over $1 million in annual revenue.
Then there's his own Ancestral lifestyle brand. MoneyMade estimates Johnson could be making anywhere from $3 million to $4 million annual revenue from sales on his website, with sales from Amazon adding up to a potential $24 million. They believe the profit of the company to be in the neighborhood of $3 million, with Johnson's personal stake in that being somewhere around $1 million.
Liver King also owns a number of other supplement companies, though MoneyMade reports that he is "most likely" a minority stakeholder and would not be personally making as much as he is with Ancestral.
Then there are Johnson's real estate holdings. He and his family live in a mansion in Austin, Texas, that MoneyMade estimates to be worth around $4 million. Then there's Liver Ranch, also in Austin, which is worth about $1 million.
What to Know About Netflix's 'Untold: The Liver King' Documentary
According to Netflix's Tudum, "Untold: The Liver King" isn't going to answer questions like whether or not eating raw meat all day is really the key to health and happiness. The site's description of the documentary reads, "UNTOLD: The Liver King is less concerned with what it takes to build a physique than with what it takes to build a brand. What happens when a person becomes a persona? How does a family live inside a myth? And what's the cost of becoming your own hero?"
The Mirror describes some of the more surprising scenes in the documentary, including Johnson's wife, Barbara, talking about how their son didn't know what pain medication was when he broke his leg. In another scene, the whole family kills a bull together and eats it raw.

Meghan Markle rocks leg-lengthening mini shorts in stunning beach photo
The Duchess of Sussex solidified her style credentials at the weekend as she shared a stunning snapshot of herself running along the beach. The joyful image, which was shared to Instagram on Saturday, showed the former Suits actress looking ultra-chic in a monochromatic linen get-up comprising a pair of leg-lengthening mini shorts in white, an oversized, cream linen shirt and a pair of tan leather sandals. Meghan, 43, spruced up her beachy look with a wide-brim straw hat, dark sunglasses and a cluster of golden bangles. She had her raven locks swept away from her face, and appeared in her element as she strode away from the shoreline with a huge smile on her face. "That weekend feeling," she penned in her caption alongside the sun and musical note emojis. Over on her official As Ever Instagram page, meanwhile, the mother-of-two shared a glimpse inside her wholesome weekend plans. In a nod to her passion for foraging, the Duchess uploaded a picture of herself picking ripe fruit from a tree in her garden. Embracing the sunshine, Meghan could be seen wearing a simple white blouse and a straw hat embossed with the letter 'M'. In her caption, she wrote: "Weekend plans: pick, snack, repeat." Meghan launched her lifestyle brand earlier this year following the release of her Netflix show titled With Love, Meghan. As part of her brand's soft launch, the Duchess reportedly sent 50 jars of jam to the likes of fashion designer Tracy Robbins and polo player Nacho Figueras' wife Delfina Blaquier. A tagline on her brand's website reads: "What began with a small pot of fresh fruit preserves, bubbling away in my home kitchen, has inspired this curated collection to bring surprise and delight to your every day." Following the success of her initial product launches, Meghan has recently added an array of new items, including an apricot spread, honey and a rosé wine which is set for release on 1 July. "With soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality and a lasting finish, this bespoke blend is launching just in time for summer entertaining," a description for the rosé reads. In her recent podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, Meghan hinted that As Ever's direction would defy traditional marketing tactics often seen in luxury circles, including the now-commonplace "scarcity drop" approach. "I want to move away from that scarcity mentality," she explained. "I don't want you to eat that jam once every six months. I want that to be on your shelf all the time."

Where Is Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Chandi Dayle Now?
The acclaimed Netflix docuseries America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders has returned for season 2, chronicling the 2024 football season from tryouts and training camp all the way through the last game. But instead of checking in with fan-favorites from season 1, director Greg Whiteley focused on an entirely different set of women. Sixth-year veteran Chandi Dayle was one of the focal points, and her arc is an emotional one. Chandi, who works as many as four jobs during the season, is one of the quieter members of the team and is self-admittedly 'really good at pushing things down' instead of dealing with emotions head-on. Over the course of the season, Chandi experiences high highs, like being named one of the 1st Group Leaders—a role that operates like a team captain—while also having significant lows related to her mental health. And after six years, Chandi decides to put down the pom-poms for good. Here's an in-depth look at Chandi's journey in season 2. The 1st Group Leaders of the team are prestigious titles, but they come with a lot of extra responsibility. 'They help Judy [Trammell, head choreographer] with choreography, they help us with communication, they're mentors, they're guidance counselors, and they're critical to the seamless performances that the cheerleaders do,' Senior Director Kelli Finglass explains in the second season. Kelli and Judy had the rookies vote on who they wanted as team leader, and Chandi received votes from all 24 girls. She experiences the exhilaration of being named to one of the most coveted spots on the team and champions her organization skills that will help her excel, but also admits that her quiet demeanor could be a challenge in a leadership position. Judy saw Chandi's habit of 'always letting everyone else make the big decisions' as a potential roadblock to success, but she recognizes it as something that reminded her of herself when she was younger. Trammell similarly clocks Chandi's need to please, saying she 'craves her attention and approval.' Feeling a kinship to Chandi, Judy is a motherly presence that really believes in her abilities. Chandi and her sister were adopted, and her parents divorced when she was 12. After her father remarried, he and her step-mother sat Chandi down and told her they didn't need to see each other again. Chandi complied and said she assumed the role of a parent because she 'had the least amount of emotion in the house.' Her mom Joanna corroborated this fact, revealing that she's only seen Chandi cry once when she was 10 because she 'doesn't like to express her vulnerability to anyone other than herself.' While Chandi believes her mental health struggles began with her father's absence, they materialized more prominently after a toxic relationship, in which she experienced physical abuse and stalking. Chandi still lives with the fear of this ex popping up anywhere; during a brunch with Jada, Megan, and Armani, the girls are on high alert when they see someone who resembles him at the restaurant. In October 2024, Chandi posted about Domestic Violence Awareness Month. 'I used to hide my past, afraid of judgment and shame. Every day, I gain confidence and rediscover the girl I once was. I'm using my voice to stand up against domestic violence. As a survivor, I know I am more than my scars. Every story matters. Let's stand united against domestic violence,' reads the caption. When we first meet Chandi's then-boyfriend Ryan, she describes their relationship sweetly, appreciating that he often anticipates her needs before she even realizes them. But in the finale, she reveals that they broke up off-camera. 'I think the last thing I said to him was, 'I deserve better. I deserve better and so do you,'' she describes to her friend Jalyn, a retired DCC member. Chandi doesn't elaborate on what happened between them but Jalyn seems relieved by the news. 'I won't say 'I told you so'…I'm just gonna say you had to figure it out for yourself,' she says. Following the break-up, Chandi connected with someone she met in the Bahamas who shared a similar past. Feeling like she had no one to talk to and that she was 'crumbling down,' Chandi admits to inviting him back to her room. This makes the other girls on the team worry about their safety, citing strict security rules tied to the team's location. The atmosphere at rehearsal is uncomfortable and Chandi decides to take a mental health break away from the team, returning only for the final game of the season. During Chandi's sabbatical, KayDianna, who stepped in for Chandi as group leader, vaguely responded to a question about what happened in the Bahamas on a TikTok Live, as fans noticed Chandi's absence at games. Her mom visibly reacted to the question but KayDianna brushed it off, saying she'll make a video about it someday. Unfortunately someone screen- recorded the video and put it on Reddit, which prompted leadership to put KayDianna under investigation for bullying and harassment and suspend her from the team. KayDianna maintains that she didn't say Chandi's name or anything incendiary about her teammate, and she ultimately chose to walk away from the team after the accusations. Chandi hobbles into the conference room with a hip brace, ready to say a tearful goodbye to the DCC. She acknowledges her struggles this year before stating that she's really found herself this year. 'There was a long time where I was scared to live without dance because that was my safe place,' she admits just before hanging up the iconic star-spangled outfit for the last time. Since leaving the DCC, she returned to her alma mater at the University of Arizona as an official judge of the Pomline team and celebrated former teammate McKenzie Hughston's pregnancy. She's also continuing to recover after hip surgery.
