Sadio Mane, a Senegalese soccer star, earns approximately $10.2 million annually. He gave the world a rude awakenng after some fans were flabbergasted when they saw him carrying a cracked iPhone 11. His response was awesome:
"Why would I want ten Ferraris, 20 diamond watches, and two jet planes? I starved, I worked in the fields, played brefoot, and I didn't go to school. Now I can help people. I prefer to build schools and give poor people food or clothing. I have built schools and a stadium, provide clothes, shoes, and food for people in extreme poverty. In addition, I give 70 euros per month to all people from a very poor Senegalese region in order to contribute to their family economy. I do not need to display luxury cars, luxury homes, trips, and even planes. I prefer that my people receive some of what life has given me.

“For them, there is a big difference between Jewish blood and any other blood,” Levy said.

Trump Texts Norwegian Prime Minister To Clarify He Does Not Want Nobel Prize, Fourth Time This Week
“Just so we’re clear,” reads text sent at 2:47 AM
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump reached out to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre early Tuesday morning to reiterate, for the fourth time this week, that he has absolutely no interest in receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, a prize he does not want, has never wanted, and cannot stop talking about.
“I can’t think of anybody in history that should get the Nobel Prize more than me,” the President said Monday, adding immediately that he did not want to brag. He then bragged.
“Nobody else settled wars,” he continued, which is technically a sentence.
The prize in question was awarded in 2009 to Barack Obama, a man who speaks in complete sentences, reads at a pace exceeding one word at a time, and has never suggested injecting bleach, light, or veterinary medicine into the human body. Obama assembled an administration of people who had read books, could locate countries on a map, and understood in broad terms how the world functions. He did not brag. He used long words correctly. He could spell them.
Oslo gave him the prize essentially for existing in a composed and literate manner, which, in fairness, the committee found refreshing.
World leaders this week declined to comment on the Nobel situation, as they were busy processing other things. French President Emmanuel Macron, asked about Trump’s remarks at a press conference in Paris, paused for what witnesses described as “quite a long time” before responding. “If I stood at a podium and said I deserved the Nobel Prize more than anyone in history, they would not applaud,” Macron said carefully. “They would make a phone call. To doctors. With a particular kind of vehicle.”
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz was more direct. “In Germany we have a word for a man who believes he alone has saved the world and requires this to be acknowledged daily,” he told reporters in Berlin, “but we have agreed as a nation not to use it anymore.”
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, maintaining the expression of a man who has given up being surprised, noted only that the United Kingdom has “a robust tradition of understatement” and that he found the current American communication style “quite different from that.”
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said nothing but was photographed staring at a wall for eleven minutes.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida issued a formal statement expressing confidence in the strength of the alliance, which diplomats confirmed was the politest possible way of saying nothing at all.
What struck observers across capitals was not the Nobel Prize itself, but the American public’s apparent comfort with the situation. Polls show 47 percent of U.S. voters find the President’s behavior completely normal, a figure European officials have taken to reading aloud to each other at dinners for the sustained entertainment value.
Trump has been president twice. He has settled wars. He does not drink. What he has done with disinfectants and UV light is a matter of public record and active medical curiosity.
Does he want the prize?
No.
“I don’t want to be bragging,” he said, at a press conference, in front of cameras, into a microphone.
He then bragged.
Støre’s office confirmed receipt of the texts but declined to comment, noting only that the Prime Minister had read them.
At press time, the President had settled a ninth war, which he described as “not for the prize or anything.”
