in 2002, The Prince of Orange, Willem-Alexander, and Argentinian investment banker, Máxima Zorreguieta, got married at the Nieuwe Kerk, Amsterdam. Happy 23rd wedding anniversary to Their Majesties King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of The Netherlands!

The bride wore an ivory mikado silk gown with a cowl neckline, three-quarter sleeves and a five-metre-long train from Valentino. Her veil was held in place by the Pearl Button Tiara, replacing the pearls with five star diamonds. The groom wore the full dress uniform of a captain in the Royal Netherlands Navy.

NFL teams don’t have to work all that hard to cover their expenses these days, with each collecting an estimated $323 million from the league’s national media and sponsorship deals during the 2023 season before selling a single ticket. But the Dallas Cowboys aren’t thinking about breaking even—they’re breaking the bank.

The world’s most valuable sports team, worth $10.1 billion, is also the world’s most profitable, with Jerry Jones’ ’Boys hauling in an estimated $564 million in operating income in 2023. The second-most-profitable team, the Los Angeles Rams, barely reached half that figure, at $286 million, while the New England Patriots landed at No. 3 with $261 million.

In all, the 20 most profitable sports teams feature nine NFL franchises, along with five from the NBA, three from the NHL and three from England’s Premier League. Together, they generated an estimated $3.9 billion in profit during the most recent season with available data, or an average of $195 million per team—up 12% from the previous year’s top 20.

On this Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we pay our respect to all of the brave servicemembers and U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) civilians who sprang into action with extraordinary courage and at great peril to their own lives. Faced with unimaginable odds, they fought valiantly to defend their ships and to save the lives of their shipmates. As we reflect on their service and sacrifice, let us each do our part to ensure that America’s Warfighting Navy continues to build on their legacy, forever linked to those shipmates through our Navy core values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment.
