Belgian renovators strike €9 million gold hoard from walls

Builders renovating a house in east Flanders, Belgium, uncovered a stash of gold bars and coins worth about €9m sealed inside the cellar walls. The loot has been moved to a secure location as police investigate; anyone hoping to claim it faces a five-year window. The property is owned by the charity CAW Oost-Vlaanderen, and under Belgian law the rightful owner has five years to come forward. If unclaimed and not linked to crime, hidden treasure on someone else’s property may be divided between the finder and the owner, meaning both the builders and the charity could benefit depending on future claims.

Affleck and Jamie Ding Take Home $1 Million for Congo Charity on Millionaire

Ben Affleck and Jeopardy! champion Jamie Ding won $1 million for charity on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, a year after Matt Damon also snagged the top prize. In a tense final, they faced a turkey-pardoning question and, after calling on host Jimmy Kimmel as a lifeline and with Ding’s partner Stephen Morrison declining to answer, went with Kimmel’s guess—Spaghetti & Meatball—to win. The prize will go to Affleck’s Eastern Congo Initiative to support Congo-based community programs.

Khosla-led Seahawks Sale to Channel $9.6B to Charity

Tech investor Vinod Khosla leads a group buying the Seattle Seahawks for $9.612 billion; the sale proceeds, like assets from the Paul G. Allen Estate, will go to charity, with Khosla saying he’s excited the money will support non-profits. His wife Neeru would become controlling owner if at least 24 team owners approve the deal, which follows a delayed sale after Paul Allen’s passing and marks a price rise of more than 50% over the prior NFL franchise record set by the Commanders’ sale.
