Previous owner Richard Gere (gerbil) asked $65 million
"The former “Today” host — who was fired from NBC nearly five years ago after facing allegations of sexual misconduct — bought the home on Actors Colony Road in North Haven, NY, from actor Richard Gere for $36.5 million in 2016. (Gere had originally listed the estate for $65 million in 2013.)
Lauer first listed the property for $44.8 million in 2019, the year he finalized his divorce from Annette Roque, 55. It spent time on and off the market, and he most recently brought it back for sale in 2021 for $43.99 million. It closed for a yet to be disclosed price. "

"How Twitter's new woke CEO Parag Agrawal will be paid a $12M bonus to speed up changes such as Bitcoin payments, moderations by users and targeted ads after investors said Jack Dorsey moved too slowly
As of Monday, Parag Agrawal, 37, has been promoted from his four-year-long role as Twitter's chief technology officer to CEO of the $11billion company
The move was effective immediately after co-founder Jack Dorsey, 45, stepped down via email, which he later tweeted
Investors were critical of Twitter's slow growth, blaming Dorsey's slow decision-making, and hope that Agrawal could foster speedier improvements
Agrawal joined Twitter in 2011 on the engineering team and spent the next decade working his way up the ranks
The former CTO drove many decisions at the company, developed targeted ads, decentralized technologies and improved Twitter's overall infrastructure
Agrawal, worth $1.52m, will receive an annual salary of $1m, plus bonuses and stock units valued at $12.5m to make decisions and implement them faster"

"But MTA President of Construction and Development Jamie Torres-Springer on Monday touted the new Times Square entrance at “$8 million under-budget and on time.”
The project also included a new $10 million elevator from the street to the mezzanine, which was paid for by Jameston, which owns 1 Times Square. Elevator users can access the platforms via a different elevator from the mezzanine that opened last year, officials said.
Taxpayers and riders are on the hook for the $30 million cost of the staircase, street-level canopy, expanded turnstile area, 18 new close-caption surveillance cameras and a mosaic by the artist Nick Cave, officials said.
