George and Amal Clooney Just Sold Their L.A. Home to Another Celebrity Couple

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

George and Amal Clooney are certainly one of the most notable celebrity couples. With a casual combined net worth of $570 million, the A-listers are always making headlines—whether it's for their style, love story, or humanitarian efforts. The pair has also built quite an astounding global real estate portfolio with properties in California, New York, Italy, England, France, and Mexico. From the iconic Lake Como villa (which, no, is not for sale!) located in an area that gave George honorary mayor status to a charming French country house on 425 acres, the power couple owns many enviable residences. Read on to learn everything we know about the homes they currently own—as well as those they once called home—below.

1995: George Buys a $2.2 Million Los Angeles Home

Before George and Amal began their lives together, George purchased a $2.2 million villa in Los Angeles's Studio City neighborhood from none other than the rock legend Stevie Nicks. At the time, the main house spanned over 7,000 square feet and included six bedrooms. Since then, the ER star has invested millions into the property, so it's likely even bigger and better today. In a 2018 Vogue interview, Amal revealed that the L.A. home has become more of a private oasis for their family rather than a place for entertaining guests, especially after they welcomed their twins in 2017.

However, according to TMZ, George recently sold the home to former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo and San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey for more than $14 million. The purchase comes a few months after the newlyweds got married at a dreamy Victorian venue in New England in July 2024.

2002: George Puts Down Roots in Italy

In the early 2000s, George invested millions in an Italian property known as Villa Oleandra. The 18th-century residence is located in the Italian commune of Laglio, which is situated on the western branch of Lake Como. It reportedly boasts 25 rooms with amenities including an outdoor pool, tennis courts, gym, home theater, and a big garage that holds Clooney's vintage motorcycles. Some reports say Clooney originally shelled out $10 million to buy the villa from the Heinz family in 2002, while others place the price at $7 million. The property reportedly needed major restoration work when he purchased it. Over the years, George and Amal have hosted many of their A-list friends at the villa, including Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Jennifer Aniston, and Matt Damon. Clooney also owns an adjacent property called Villa Margherita, which he's rumored to have bought around the same time, making the estate one of the largest private homes in the area, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Since the actor acquired Villa Oleandra, rumors about him selling the property have swirled many times. Most recently, he was said to have been selling the home for $107 million in September 2023, but the actor later confirmed that the rumor wasn't true. It seems as though he's never tried to sell the place, and it's easy to imagine why he wouldn't want to!

2009: George Builds a Mexico Getaway With Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford

Designing a multibillion-dollar vacation home to enjoy with your friends sounds like the ultimate dream—and George did just that in Los Cabos with Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford circa 2009. They worked with architect Ricardo Legoretta to custom design two homes right next to each other that were loosely connected and became collectively known as Casamigos. "There's nothing more depressing than being in a big old house by yourself," George told Architectural Digest when their homes were featured in the publication. "You want to fill it with friends and family because that's what makes a home."

Each structure features a long hallway that flows into a central courtyard, which connects to sitting areas, dining spaces, an open kitchen, and a bar. The homes also came with their own pools and terraces. The celebrity friend group ultimately sold their party palaces to a Mexican billionaire for an undisclosed amount in 2016.

2014: George and Amal Buy $13 Million Island Home in England

In 2014, George and Amal got engaged and then had a fabulous wedding in Venice, Italy—all in just five months. Around that time, the newlyweds also bought a house in England. Set on a tiny island on the River Thames called Sonning Eye, the abode is where they spent their honeymoon "camping out in the unfurnished rooms," according to Vogue. They reportedly paid roughly $13 million for the home, which, says the article, features an entry hall with "towering ceilings" and "crisp Georgian molding." There's also a pool house for entertaining and working, a screening room, and a garden encased in glass with citrus trees.

2016: George and Amal Snap Up a $14.75 Million New York City Condo

The actor and lawyer set their sights on New York City when they reportedly purchased a condo in midtown Manhattan for an estimated $14.75 million. Designed by architecture firm Foster + Partners, the building is located at 100 East 53rd Street. Not much is known about the unit the Clooneys lived in, but it's said to have been on one of the higher floors in the 63-story building. Each of the structure's 94 loft-style units boasts high ceilings and walls of windows. At the time, the location was ideal for the couple because it was close to the United Nations, where Amal sometimes handled human rights cases, and not too far from Columbia Law School, where Amal was reportedly teaching at the time.

2021: George and Amal Shell Out $8.3 Million for French Country Home

The Clooneys reportedly made another big European purchase in 2021. This time, they went for an $8.3 million Provence wine estate called Domaine du Canadel. Located in Brignoles, France, the 18th-century property spans 425 acres and features a 25-acre vineyard, 72-foot pool, tennis courts, gardens, an olive grove, and a lake. Not much is known about the main residence, but it reportedly spans 10,000 square feet across three floors. The mayor of Brignoles shared a photo with the couple on social media, appearing to confirm the sale and welcome them to the area. He wrote, "Welcome to Brignoles! It's now official, George and Amal Clooney are residents of our beautiful community. I have had the pleasure of meeting them, by their invitation, at Domaine du Canadel, where they will soon set down their suitcases."

Celebrity Favorite Sparrow Italia Lands in Wynwood

Sparrow Italia, the latest venture from hospitality group Noble 33, will debut in Wynwood this Tuesday, October 1. Known for its "high-energy, fine-dining" experience, Sparrow features a menu of Italian and Mediterranean flavors under the corporate chef Martin Heierling. The Miami debut follows the success of its London location, a celebrity favorite of stars like Alicia Keys, Serena Williams, and Cameron Diaz. Founders Tosh Berman and Mikey Tanha named the restaurant after Italy's national bird, symbolizing "joy, simplicity, and freedom."

Sparrow Italia's menu offers a wide range of dishes, starting with appetizers like the B.I.G. Meatball made with wagyu, pomodoro, and whipped ricotta, and crispy arancini filled with mushroom risotto and black truffle. Seafood options include grilled octopus with baby potatoes and olive sofrito, and Ahi tuna tartare with truffle ponzu and crispy onions. The chilled and raw section features Wagyu carpaccio with pickled mushrooms, shaved black truffles, and umami aioli, as well as Osetra caviar served with polenta pancakes, crème fraiche, and chopped egg.

Pasta dishes offer choices like truffle cacio e pepe, Mikey's spicy rigatoni alla vodka, and bone marrow cappelletti, which pairs braised beef cheeks with roasted bone marrow and a Barolo reduction. For proteins, think dishes like the prime rib cap and 34-ounce prime Fiorentina, alongside a surf-and-turf of whole lobster oreganata with panko-parmesan and lemon. At the bar, the pizza by the slice menu features slices like the dolce e piccante, topped with burrata, basil, and truffle honey, and the hearty carnivoré, with ground Japanese wagyu and wagyu salami. For dessert, selections like the hazelnut rocher with crispy feuilletine and Nutella cream, or the Amalfi lemon delight with lemon cream and sponge, round out the meal.

Sparrow Italia's beverage program spotlights Italian wines, spirits, and a mix of modern and classic cocktails. Highlights include the Noble Margarita with Gran Centenario Plata and lime agave, Spritz Your Game with Aperol and coconut, and Flashy Ways, blending Grey Goose with prosecco. Non-alcoholic options like Feels So Good with Seedlip and mint are also on offer. The wine list focuses on sustainable Italian-American selections, alongside American wines and Champagne to complement the menu.

Sparrow Italia Miami can seat 232 guests in its 8,700-square-foot space, designed by Kobi Karp. Inside, there's a stone-topped bar and decor with glass bottles, the space includes blue velvet, Venetian plaster, carved wood, and brass accents.

The group even announced that 1587 Prime, an American steakhouse restaurant in partnership with football pros Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, planning to debut will in Kansas City in 2025.

Why Patrick Mahomes' Mom Is Asking for Serious Prayers

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors

Patrick Mahomes' mother, Randi Mahomes, has a serious request for prayers from Chiefs Kingdom.

On Sunday, September 29, Randi — who shares sons Patrick, 29, and Jackson, 24, with ex-husband Patrick Mahomes, Sr. — uploaded a photo watching the Kansas City Chiefs game from her father's hospital bedside. (In addition to her two sons with her ex, Randi is also mom to 12-year-old daughter Mia.)

"Watching game with daddy today… prayers please for my dad," she captioned the photo.

The Chiefs were away in the City of Angels on Sunday, taking on the Los Angeles Chargers, whom they defeated 17-10. Sunday's game marked the fourth win for the Chiefs this season; they are undefeated so far.

In addition to his maternal grandfather's undisclosed illness, Patrick has been facing a series of serious family issues as of late. Last week, his father was sentenced to 10 days in jail following the former Mets player's February DUI in addition to the small stint behind bars, Patrick Sr. will also be on probation for five years, have his license suspended for a year, and more.

As the Chiefs MVP continues to deal with family woes and concentrate on the field — hoping to earn his fourth Super Bowl ring in 2025 — he is also preparing for an even bigger life event: welcoming his third child with wife Brittany Mahomes.

The A-list couple, who have been together since high school and are already the proud parents of 3-year-old daughter Sterling and 1-year-old son Bronze, announced their exciting news in July.

Since then, however, Brittany has been in the spotlight not (just) for her pregnancy, but for her supposed political affiliations. After liking several Trump/Vance posts on social media, many Chiefs fans — and many more Taylor Swift fans — called out the Kansas City Current co-owner for her alleged views.

Patrick, for his part, was diplomatic when asked about his own political opinions.

"I think I've always said I don't want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate or do whatever either way," the iconic quarterback told A to Z Sports earlier this month. "I think my place is to inform people to get registered to vote, to inform people to do their own research and then make their best decision for them and their family."

Owner of abandoned Hollywood Hills mansions provides update on cleanup efforts: 'Significant progress'

The owner of two Hollywood Hills mansions that had been overrun by squatters and taggers said there has been "significant progress" made in the cleanup efforts.

"I'm pleased to report significant progress: The crews I hired have cleaned up all of the graffiti at both of my houses," John Powers Middleton said in a statement sent to Fox News Digital.

"I have also been speaking to City Councilmember Raman's office and other City officials to update them on the progress. I thank them for their efforts. We are also in contact with LAPD to ensure the neighborhoods remain safe," Middleton continued.

John P. Middleton, a film producer and son of Philadelphia Phillies owner John S. Middleton, faced previous backlash as the two Hollywood Hills mansions became eyesores in the ritzy Los Angeles neighborhood.

"I will continue to do everything I can to fix these houses and keep them free from graffiti. It's tough to do given the crime problems in Los Angeles, but I'm determined to do the right thing here. The 24/7 armed security teams I hired will remain in place," Middleton said.

Middleton added that he hopes the trespassers and vandals who did this will be held accountable. 

"There is a sense of invincibility amongst the vandals as many times the very same people arrested previously are returning and threatening our guards and the police. If something isn't done, they will return to do it again, not only at my house but anywhere they choose," Middleton said.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) previously told Fox News Digital that the Hollywood Hills area has received and responded to 17 calls for service in the 1700 block of Sunset Plaza Drive so far this year.

Police said they have received eight calls for prowler suspects, six calls for possible burglary suspects and three calls for service for vandalism.

"I'm doing my best to make the houses secure and fix them up, with the intent to sell each as soon as possible. I'm disappointed to note that even as I have worked this week to paint over the graffiti, vandals still managed to break in and paint over the newly cleaned walls. Given the persistence of the numerous trespassers, it's a struggle," Middleton said in a previous statement.

"What's happened to my property is criminal, and I hope everyone caught will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. No one in Los Angeles should have to put up with squatters and vandalism that are out of control," Middleton continued. 

L.A. City Councilwoman Nithya Raman told Fox News Digital that Middleton's attorney has been in touch, and they have been painting the property. 

"I am pleased to report that earlier this week – after two years attempting to make contact – an attorney representing the property owner reached out to our office to notify us that he will be taking accountability for the two abandoned Hollywood Hills mansions and taking responsibility for all payments the City has incurred thus far," Raman said in a statement.

"The owner has since issued a letter of apology to neighbors and is working to secure both properties and clean them up, with the intent to sell as quickly as possible. The owner has also hired contractors to repaint both properties, which should be completed within the next few days, and is funding 24/7 security at both sites," Raman continued. 

Raman said that neither situation is being taken lightly and that the city is working to combat the issue at both properties located at 7571 Mulholland Drive and 1754 N Sunset Plaza Drive. 

'SQUATTER HUNTER' WARNS WORST INTRUDERS IN AMERICA ARE THOSE WHO HAVE 'NOTHING TO LOSE'

"Unfortunately, this is not a unique case: abandoned buildings are a pervasive issue for the city. While the Department of Building and Safety has the authority to secure vacant properties if an owner fails to do so, it simply does not have the resources to keep up with enforcement," Raman said.

Raman added that the city also has the authority to demolish vacant or abandoned properties if they are found to constitute a public nuisance, but he said the protocols currently in use rely on procedures and legal guidance that are more than 20 years old and are not responsive to the current needs on the ground, where they have so many abandoned properties and so few city staff to follow up on problem properties.

"My office will continue to be in close contact with DBS and LAPD to monitor the Hollywood Hills properties in the coming days and weeks, and we will work to ensure that the property owner continues to take full responsibility for properly securing these sites," Raman said.

John Powers Middleton is best known for his work on the films "Oldboy" (2013) and "Manchester by the Sea" (2016).

Teen girl told police ‘that’s one way to be a celebrity’ after school stabbing

A teen girl said 'that's one way to be a celebrity' after 'stabbing two teachers and another pupil' at school (Picture: PA)

A 14-year-old girl who stabbed two teachers and a pupil at her school told police 'that's one way to be a celebrity' as she was carted away.

CCTV footage of the girl attacking the two teachers before moving on to stab another girl after she was disarmed at Amman Valley School in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, was played at Swansea Crown Court.

Opening the girl's trial on Monday, William Hughes KC, prosecuting, said the girl told police officers after she was arrested: 'I'm pretty sure this is going to be on the news.

'So more eyes will be looking at me.

'That's one way to be a celebrity.'

But she also asked 'are they dead' and added: 'How am I going to face my family after what I've done?'

The court heard that the girl described the attack on the teenager to the officers, saying: 'I stabbed her, oopsies'.

Mr Hughes said the girl confronted assistant head Fiona Elias in the school yard telling her: 'I'm going to kill you, I'm going to f****** kill you', before launching her attack with a multi-tool that her father used for fishing.

The video showed how Mrs Elias was with fellow teacher Liz Hopkin, who immediately intervened.

Mr Hughes said Ms Hopkin ended up with the more serious injuries, to her back, neck, legs and arms, and had to be airlifted for treatment.

He said the teachers later said the girl had 'lost it'.

The footage played in court showed how a number of teachers arrived quickly and talked to the girl, trying to calm her down in 'a kind of stand off', with the staff later saying she had a 'vacant look on her face'.

But the girl pushed past the male members of staff, ran around a corner and attacked another teenager.

The prosecutor said the defendant also said to this girl: 'I'm going to f****** kill you'.

Mr Hughes said police found a notebook at the girl's home with a drawing of a female and reference to the teenager she attacked at the school.

One comment said that girl will 'burn' and another said 'cut their mouths and eyes'.

They also found a drawing labelled 'Mrs Frogface Elias'.

The jury has been told that the defendant has admitted attacking all three people at the school.

A student was also injured in the attack (Picture:PA)

She has pleaded guilty to three counts of wounding with intent and one of possessing a bladed article on school premises.

The girl denies three counts of attempted murder in relation to the incident on April 24, when she was 13.

Mr Hughes told the jury: '(The girl) does not dispute that she caused these injuries.

'She does dispute that she caused these injuries intending to kill one, two or all three of them.'

He said: '(The girl) clearly thought ill of Mrs Elias and (the teenager who was injured) given the content of the drawings and the associated words.'

The prosecutor said Ms Hopkin was the worst injured and had to be flown to Cardiff where she was treated for stab wounds to her knee, lower leg, chest and under her shoulder blade.

But the worst wound was to the top of her neck.

Mrs Elias and the teenager were taken to hospital in Swansea, where they were also treated for stab wounds.

The trial was adjourned and will resume on Wednesday.

Creative Community for Peace Honors Industry Ambassadors Amid Explosive Tensions in Middle East

Security was tight as a crowd of 500 entertainment industry titans filed through metal detectors and multiple checkpoints into the Beverly Hills house owned by Warner Music Group A&R exec Aton Ben-Horin for the Creative Community for Peace's sixth annual Ambassadors of Peace event (Variety is a media sponsor).

The list of honorees included (pictured above, left to right): TV exec Ben Silverman, Amazon Music's Phylicia Fant, actor-author-host Mayim Bialik, music business attorney Josh Binder and newly appointed Atlantic Music Group CEO Elliot Grainge.

The organization, founded more than a decade ago by veteran publishing executive David Renzer, EA music chief Steve Schnur, mainly to convince acts to bypass boycott efforts to perform in Israel, has found new relevance since the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on an Israeli music festival. In the months since, CCFP has organized a series of events, including a forum hosted by CAA on antisemitism whose attendees included "First Gentleman" Doug Emhoff, a noted music lover himself known to brandish a Clash album cover on Facebook.

Renzer said, "This is a non-partisan, apolitical organization" Renzer told Variety. "We have people of all political perspectives as members. We believe in co-existence and feel for the loss of innocent lives on both sides. We pray for the day when there can be peace. One of our goals is to try to provide balance to the discourse, which is needed today more than ever. We want to use the arts, particularly music, given our backgrounds, as a way of building bridges, of helping build momentum toward peace."

Dr. Bialik, an outspoken supporter of Israel, turned to CCFP to formulate a response to her millions of social media followers in the wake of the October 7 attack.

"We were faced with a distinct set of challenges, including disinformation, intimidation and threats. CCFP helps us express the diversity of opinion within the Jewish community.

"This is not about choosing sides. It's not a war of who deserves more compassion. It's about the right of Israel to exist, and the right for its people not to be terrorized. The nuance tends to get lost on social media.  The angry, divisive rhetoric is what prevents us from listening to one another and finding that common ground."

Josh Binder, founding partner of the law firm of Rothenberg, Mohr and Binder, represents Marshmello and, for nearly 20 years, Top Dawg Entertainment. He put forth an unusual but welcome take on the situation.

Pointing to Marshmello manager Moe Shalizi, his professional partner and good friend, Binder noted the "fake news that a Jew and a Muslim can't do business together."

More seriously, he continued, "I'm not a political activist. I'm here to build a bridge with the community of music people I'm close to, to communicate who I am as a Jew and not to judge each of us by what a country is doing. As they say about the music business, it's all about the relationships. And the more you work with people who are not like yourself, the more you can learn from each other."

Fant, a founding member of the Black Jewish Entertainment Alliance and a senior music executive at Amazon (and manager of singer Andra Day), said, "Blacks and Jews have been together a long time, going back to the relationship between the Queen of Sheba and Solomon," she laughed. "I was in Israel several years ago and I understand kibbutz culture: It's about unity and raising a village. We are a music village and it's important we take care of each other, lift each other up. We marched side-by-side together — we need to walk hand in hand. I am proud to be part of any organization that puts peace first."

Legendary TV producer Ben Silverman, now Chairman/Co-CEO of Propagate, whose shows include "The Office," "Ugly Betty" and "Jane the Virgin," also cited the Old Testament example of storytelling as a way of promoting peaceful co-existence.

"This organization promotes conversation around peace and narrative in a thoughtful way," he explained. "The power of the arts needs to be unleashed to tell the stories that bring us together. After all, we wrote the original book, which along with Shakespeare, has given us the greatest story lines in history. We are a creative coalition of like-minded peacemakers.  We don't want to fight, but if you take the fight to us, we're going to fight back."

Elliot Grainge, introduced by brother-in-law Good Charlotte's Joel Madden (they're married to sisters Sofia and Nicole Richie, respectively), joked that the two pals have one thing in common: "We're both petrified by our wives."

Earlier, Grainge spoke more seriously about his pro-Israel stance — at least briefly.

"If you look at my schnozz, you know," he noted. "Israel has a right to exist, and I'm proud to be a part of this event, because it represents people of all religions and races in the music industry coming together.  We're all on one spinning ball in the universe and have the right to feel comfortable no matter where we are."

With that out of the way, the newly appointed CEO of the Atlantic Music Group was asked whether his new job would make him even more competitive with his father and now-rival, Universal Music boss Lucian Grainge.

"We've been that way since I was in his ball sack," he deadpanned.

Meet Alex Spiro, the big-shot celebrity lawyer representing NYC Mayor Eric Adams

Mayor Eric Adams, facing corruption and bribery charges, has hired a celebrity lawyer known for being the go-to for well-known clients involved in high-profile cases.

Alex Spiro is representing Adams in a shocking political case that has turned City Hall upside down.

"Federal agents appeared this morning at Gracie Mansion in an effort to create a spectacle (again) and take Mayor Adams' phone (again). He has not been arrested and looks forward to his day in court," Spiro said Thursday. "They send a dozen agents to pick up a phone when we would have happily turned it in."

The mayor's personal attorney stood alongside Eric Adams as he sought to discredit the charges against the first-term mayor. 

Aside from representing Adams, Spiro, who is based in New York, has solidified his law career representing big-name clients including Alec Baldwin, Elon Musk, Megan Thee Stallion, Jay-Z, Mick Jagger, Thabo Sefolosha, Robert Kraft, Julian Edelman and Aaron Hernandez. 

So what else do we know about him?

Alex Spiro's impressive resume

Spiro has deep ties to New England, having graduated from Wellesley High School in 2001, according to NBC Boston. He graduated from Tufts University and then went on to Harvard Law School (2008).

According to his biography on Quinn Emanuel firm's website, Spiro studied bio-psychology and worked at Harvard's Psychiatric Facility, McLean Hospital, where he supervised departments of an adolescent treatment facility and ran a program for children with autism and Asperger's.

After obtaining his law degree, Spiro served as a Manhattan prosecutor for a time.

As a partner at Quinn Emanuel's New York office, Spiro is co-chair of the Investigations, Government Enforcement & White Collar Defense Practice where he focuses on "white collar" crimes.

Spiro has also been part of the faculty at his alma mater by taking part in Harvard's Trial Advocacy Program. He has lectured at Harvard Law School and has served as Chairman of the Board of Harvard's criminal justice initiative known as The Fair Punishment Project. He also serves as counsel to the Reform Alliance.

What are some other high-profile cases Spiro has taken on?

As a Manhattan prosecutor, he was attached to numerous high-profile cases, obtaining a conviction against Rodney Alcala, who was also known as the "Dating Game" serial killer stemming from murders that took place in the 1970s, according to his biography. He also got serial murderer Travis Woods convicted and was part of the Conviction Integrity Unit, which focused on investigating wrongful convictions.

Subsequently, his resume has led Spiro to represent a number of celebrities. Here are some of the cases:

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Spiro has a long history representing members of the New England Patriots team, according to NBC Boston.

He was hired by Julian Edelman when Edelman appealed his four-game suspension in 2018. Most noteworthy is that Spiro was also a member of Aaron Hernandez's defense team in Hernandez's double-homicide trial.

He was also hired by Patriots owner Robert Kraft in 2019 as he faced charges of soliciting prostitution in Florida.

FORMER NBA PLAYER THABO SEFOLOSHA

Spiro also represented former Bulls, Hawks, Jazz and Rockets basketball player Thabo Sefolosha, who was found not guilty of misdemeanor obstructing government administration, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest stemming from an incident with police outside a New York City nightclub in 2015. Sefolosha eventually received $4 million from New York City in a settlement related to the incident.

JAY-Z AND 21 SAVAGE

In 2019, rapper and mogul Jay-Z hired Spiro to aid fellow rapper 21 Savage in his fight against deportation.

ALEC BALDWIN

Most recently, Spiro represented actor Alec Baldwin in his involuntary manslaughter case pertaining to the fatal "Rust" set shooting. (The involuntary manslaughter charge was eventually dismissed with prejudice, meaning it can't be revived once appeals are exhausted.)

MEGAN THEE STALLION

Spiro was the lawyer superstar Megan Thee Stallion asked to represent her when she was accused of harassment by a cameraman who said he was forced to watch her have sex with another woman earlier this year.

Emilio Garcia said in the lawsuit filed in April in Los Angeles County Superior Court that after the alleged incident he was warned, "Don't ever discuss what you saw," and was berated, fat-shamed and treated differently by Megan, according to NBCNews.com.

ELON MUSK

Spiro has long been seen as a right-hand man and confidant to Elon Musk.

He apparently led the first round of mass layoffs when Musk bought Twitter back in 2022, according to an NBCNews.com article.

Recently, when the Securities and Exchange Commission asked a federal judge to sanction Musk if he continues to violate the court's order to appear for a deposition in a probe of his 2022 Twitter acquisition, Spiro wrote a response.

He said "such drastic action would be inappropriate," adding that both the SEC and the Tesla founder had agreed rescheduling would be allowed in light of an emergency, according to a CNBC article.
