Michael Jordan Cops Custom $3.5M Venom F5 Roadster ... Goes Over 300 MPH!!!
Michael Jordan's giving Floyd Mayweather's car collection a run for his money ... His Airness plunked down $3.5 MILLION on one of the rarest hypercars in the world, a Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster that goes OVER 300 MPH.
60-year-old Jordan got the special ride this week from Hennessey founder and CEO, John Hennessey, who posted photos with the NBA immortal on Instagram ... and the car is amazing.
"Today was a special day," Hennessey, one of the most respected minds in the automobile industry, said in the IG caption.
"Such an honor to build a special Venom F5 for a special friend 🐐"
The 2-seated Roadster -- which is based on the Venom F5 coupe -- is souped up with a massive twin-turbocharged, 6.6-liter, 'Fury' V8 engine that packs an incredible 1,817 horsepower.
The Texas-made car also has a tempered glass engine viewing window and according to the site, "can withstand aerodynamic forces exceeding 300 mph and temperatures beyond 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit."
"This panel, in the middle of the rear engine cover, spotlights the massive ‘Fury’ V8 engine in all its glory," the company said on the site.
"Its engineering was no simple task – developed and certified for use in jet aircraft."
The ride -- known as a hypercar -- also comes with lightweight, aluminum wheels that have the words "Hennessey" and "Roadster" scripted on the outer face of each rim.
Jordan's new Venom F5 is one of 30 made ... and Hennessey expects it to be the "world's fastest convertible."
The current record is held by the Hennessey Venom GT Spyder at 265.6 mph.
"The Roadster version takes the Coupe’s speed, exhilaration, and awe, plus a sprinkling of respect-inducing fear, to a new, truly visceral level that brings owners closer to the Venom F5®’s extreme performance," Hennessey said.
Of course, Jordan is known to purchase expensive cars ... and one of them -- his 1996 Mercedes Benz S600 Lorinser -- actually hit the auction block in 2020.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are celebrating their engagement on the romantic French Riviera ... and it's not just her giant diamond ring that's turning heads in Cannes.
The Amazon founder and his fiancée Lauren had a dinner date Monday night at La Petite Maison, where the soon-to-be-newlyweds dined with Jeff's sister, Christina, and her hubby Steve Poore. No doubt the family members were toasting Jeff and Lauren's big news.
And yes, Lauren's massive rock on her left hand drew plenty of attention ... along with her stylish white mini-dress!
As we reported, Lauren's engagement bling was first spotted while she and Jeff were aboard his new $500 mil superyacht, Koru. The couple sailed out of Mallorca, Spain, and beelined it for all the festivities around the Cannes Film Festival.
Lauren and Jeff started dating in late 2018, and they've been inseparable since ... traveling around the world together.
Unclear when Jeff and Lauren are going into wedding-planning mode, if they aren't in that zone already ... but odds are it'll be an extravagant affair. Comes with being one of the world's richest!!!

JEFF BEZOS & LAUREN SANCHEZ WE'RE ENGAGED!!!
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are ready to spend the rest of their lives together ... TMZ has confirmed they're engaged!!!
The billionaire popped the question while sailing around Europe on his new $500 million superyacht, which includes a sexy homage to Lauren, and she said, "Yes." Page Six was first to report the news.
Of course, Lauren's answer should come as no surprise ... the two have been absolutely inseparable since they started dating back in 2019, following Jeff's divorce from his wife of 24 years, MacKenzie.
Jeff looks to have spared no expense on an engagement ring, which Lauren proudly showed off Sunday aboard Jeff's yacht. As you can see, the rock on Lauren's finger is HUGE!!!
Still, no matter what Jeff dropped on an engagement ring, it's just a drop in the bucket to the Amazon founder.
It seems Jeff and Lauren actually got engaged last week, because she was photographed Wednesday with a ring on THAT finger, but it was twisted so the huge rock was hidden on the inside of her hand.
Congrats!!!

Sydney Sweeney Seen Wearing Her Engagement Ring First Time in Nearly a Year
Sydney Sweeney is making it crystal clear she and her fiancé are doing just fine ... rocking her engagement ring for the first time in a very long time.
The "Euphoria" star was spotted in Cannes, leaving the Hotel Martinez with her fiancé Jonathan Davino by her side. More notably, she was wearing her bling on THAT finger --- something we've rarely seen this past year.
Now, she wasn't exactly flaunting her engagement ring -- she was holding on to Jonathan's arm, but you can see the diamond is indeed on her left hand.
It's significant after the flirty behavior and speculation with her costar Glen Powell. Remember, they seemed to start getting cozy while shooting their rom-com in Australia ... and thereafter.
As you know, GP's girlfriend wound up dumping him. But, Sydney has maintained there's no trouble in paradise for her and Jonathan ... with a source telling us they're still very much together and engaged, although she wasn't always wearing her ring.
Only last month was SS and her man were seen for the first time together since all the GP rumors -- but they didn't look super smitten, mainly staying stoic as photogs snapped shots ... and yeah, still no ring.
Sydney and Jonathan started dating back in 2018, and she was first seen with a massive diamond ring sometime last year. At some point, she stopped wearing it publicly.
Now though, she seems to be using it to put an end to all the speculation.

PAUL WALKER'S BROTHER No Cameo For Me in 'Fast X' ... But Stoked for My Niece!!!

Exclusive

Paul Walker's brother says there are no surprise appearances from him in the final chapter (allegedly) of the 'Fast and Furious' franchise ... but he's happy another family member is getting her shine.
We got Cody Walker Thursday right after Ludacris got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame -- and we asked him about the new "Fast X" movie, and Paul's daughter Meadow Walker appearing in it.
First off ... while Cody says there are no secret cameos from him in "Fast X", he acknowledges there's always been talk of it, and doesn't completely shut the door.
Fact is, it wouldn't be much of a secret if he told us!
As far as possible CGI scenes of Paul's character, Brian O'Conner ... Cody says he's not involved in those decisions. He does tell us Paul is referenced in it, as you'd expect.
As we reported, Meadow does have a small role in "Fast X" ... and she says it's a blessing to be able to honor her father's legacy.
Cody tells us he's stoked and it makes total sense his niece is taking the torch from her father for her first appearance in a 'Fast' flick.
The new movie is in theaters this week and is expected to make a ton of money at the box office ... which is no surprise to Cody. He tells us why Paul would have been pleasantly surprised at the franchise's direction since starring in the OG film back in the day.
Cody's still big on the car scene -- just as Paul was -- his FuelFest will be at Irwindale Speedway, outside L.A., on June 3 ... and he says the accompanying car show will showcase the top custom exotic cars from around the globe.
Add live music, drag races, and drifting and ya got the perfect party for diehard "FF" fans.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Cody sounds like he's fine with not joining the franchise, preferring to leave the acting up to his niece.
We discussed Paul Walker's legacy in a recent episode of the Last Days Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Jake Paul Buys Mansion Off Molina ... $15.7 Mil Puerto Rican Palace!!!
Jake Paul is going to have to take a break from boxing soon to do some serious unboxing ... 'cause TMZ Sports has confirmed the fighter just bought a mega-mansion in Puerto Rico -- off of ex-MLB star Yadier Molina!!!
The Problem Child, according to a rep for The Caribbean Realty Group, scored the San Juan-area palace on Wednesday for $15,750,000 ... and it's insane.
The two-story property has eight bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, two 1/2 bathrooms, a fitness center ... and a luxury pool.
It's also got an elevator, a wet bar, a dry bar, a 6-car garage ... and over 12,000 square feet of living space.
No word on why the newly retired Molina gave up the place -- which was built in 2021 -- but Paul landed a great deal on it nonetheless.
The Caribbean Realty Group reports the house was initially listed at $19,995,000 ... before the former Cardinals catcher and Paul worked out the new price this week.
Jake and his brother, Logan, initially moved to Puerto Rico a couple years ago ... after the two brothers claimed the region gave them the ability to train for fights without distractions.
Here's to hoping the new home provides that same quiet space ... after all, Jake's going to need it this summer -- he's got a fight with ex-UFC star Nate Diaz coming in August!!!

Rick Ross is going toe-to-toe with Fayette County over his 2nd annual car show ... telling us denying him a permit isn't gonna stop him from throwing the event for thousands of fans.
The hip hop mogul assures us the car show will go down exactly as planned on June 3 on his Promised Land estate in Fayetteville, GA, and he's called in backup -- some event planning experts -- to ensure his neighbors can rest easy.
Fayette County recently rejected Ricky Rozay's permit, saying the car show is not in compliance with the county's zoning ordinances, adding last year's show -- a huge success in Rick's eyes -- happened without County approval.
Regardless, Rick's full steam ahead, and is likening the whole thing to a front yard BBQ -- one with about 7,000 folks in attendance! He says he didn't hear any complaints after last year's show, but some neighbors have now been voicing their concerns.
If you're wondering if this is all about the County wanting a slice of Rick's financial pie ... he ran down all the ways his car show is an absolute cash cow for Fayette County and its businesses.
BTW, Rick announced he's exploring a run for mayor of Fayetteville after the whole permit roadblock came up, and he breaks down why he'd be the perfect candidate.
You can see the full interview with Rick -- including some shade thrown at County officials -- on Thursday's episode of "TMZ Live."

Of course, Willie had every reason to be jacked for the gift ... the luxury car can cost right around six figures with all of the bells and whistles on it.

Rolly Romero pulled out all the stops before fighting Ismael Barroso on Saturday ... rockin' a 20-carat diamond pendant of HIMSELF, and it's awesome!
The lightweight boxer earned a (controversial) 9th-round TKO against Barroso at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas on May 13th ... bringing his record to 15-1.

Referee Tony Weeks stops the fight and @SignUp4KOs scores a TKO victory over Barroso to become the new WBA Super Lightweight champ 🏆 #RomeroBarroso pic.twitter.com/SseQxDNoQu
But, before the fight (and the much-debated stoppage by veteran official Tony Weeks), Romero pulled up in style, rocking an iced-out pendant of himself in a fur coat and no shirt ... an outfit that may look familiar to boxing fans.
It's the exact fit Romero wore during his viral press conference with Gervonta 'Tank' Davis last year ... before their fight on May 2022 scrap.
TMZ Sports has learned Rolly hit up GS & Co. and commissioned the piece ... and he picked the Tank presser outfit because he believes it's one of the most iconic moments of his career.
We're told the piece is loaded with 20 carats of round VVS diamonds and 120 grams of 14k yellow gold ... and the retail value is around $30K.
As we previously reported, Romero also wore "Channel Orange" custom boxing shoes -- in tribute to musician Frank Ocean.
Now, Rolly has his sights set on a rematch with Tank or a fight with Ryan Garcia, who he called out after his win on Saturday.

6:38 AM PT -- We're told the hotel was The West Hollywood EDITION.
Lily Collins is the latest celeb to fall victim to a major theft ... cops say she had high-end jewelry and other goodies swiped during what was supposed to be a calming trip to the spa.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the "Emily in Paris" actress was at a West Hollywood hotel over the weekend and secured her belongings -- including her wedding band, engagement ring, and some electronics -- at the spa before going to enjoy some relaxation.
We're told she came out singing a completely different tune, once she found all of her stuff was gone!
L.A. County Sheriff's deputies are currently investigating, and we're told there was no sign of forced entry where Lily stored her belongings.
We're told cops are now looking over the building's security footage for leads.
The theft is classified as "over $10,000," as you'd imagine since the thief made off with Lily's wedding rings. So far, no arrests have been made.
There's been a handful of L.A.-based celebs burglarized, this year alone -- as we reported, cops pulled up to Drake's pad in January after a man took off with something from inside his home.
LAFC star Kellyn Acosta had his house broken into in February, losing out on a few watches -- and Miles Teller's place was ransacked that same month.
The loss for Lily -- Phil Collins' daughter, if ya didn't know -- is particularly tough, considering the sentimental value of her engagement ring. Anyone with info is asked to call the L.A. County Sheriff's Office.
We've seen some celebs opt for leaving their expensive jewelry and watches at home in the current environment.

Charles Leclerc AirPod Recovery ... Wearing $200K Watch!!!
Charles Leclerc is a multi-millionaire, but you wouldn't be able to tell by the way he went into full rescue mode when he lost his AirPods this week ... 'cause he got on the ground, used some tweezers and brought them back to safety -- all while ironically wearing a $200k watch!!!
The Ferrari superstar documented the whole mishap on his Instagram page ... showing him sprawled out on the floor at the Zurich International Airport in Switzerland.
The whole thing looked like a game of Operation ... as the 25-year-old patiently tried to get both his earbud AND the case out of the tiniest crack in the floor -- and thankfully, it was a success!!
What's hilarious about it all -- Leclerc most certainly has the money ... so he could have just as easily gotten a new pair at a nearby gift shop.
Throughout the recovery, Charles was also wearing a super-expensive, rare Richard Mille RM 72-01 watch on his left wrist ... which comes with a $185k price tag, but good luck getting your hands on one of them at that price -- or at all.
Of course, Leclerc has a sponsorship with Richard Mille ... so he's got the hook-up.
Perhaps he needs an Apple brand deal next!!
Admittedly, the whole thing may have just been an attempt to go viral ... as he posted about his next piano instrumental right after the clip.

Cher and Alexander "AE" Edwards have called it quits on their relationship, and were never even engaged, despite multiple reports to the contrary ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to the former couple tell TMZ they ended things a couple weeks ago, though it's currently unclear what led to the relationship's collapse or who first decided to end it.
What's more shocking, our sources say the two were never even engaged to be married, despite a massive diamond ring she was gifted around Christmas. We're told the two just decided to play into the speculation it was an engagement ring.
It was back in January when 76-year-old Cher told paps she and 37-year-old AE were engaged, but now we know they were just having some fun.
Remember ... Cher and AE were first linked back in November when they were photographed holding hands during a night out in West Hollywood.
AE even told us last month he was getting super close with Cher's sons, Chaz Bono and Elijah Blue Allman.
There's a 40-year age gap between Cher and AE -- and now she's got another name to add to her list of celebrity ex boyfriends -- which includes some heavy hitters like Tom Cruise, Gene Simmons, Warren Beatty, Richie Sambora and Val Kilmer.

Katy Perry Dazzles Crowd With Surprise Performance ... At Tiffany & Co. Soiree
Katy Perry hit the stage for a surprise performance at a star-studded NYC event on Thursday night ... and she pretty much blew the roof off the place.
The singing sensation was all glammed up in a ruffled cream gown and bejeweled heels as she arrived to celebrate the reopening of the Tiffany and Co. flagship store in Manhattan.
Katy was followed inside the iconic Fifth Avenue building by a bevy of bold-faced names. Among them were Hailey Bieber, Blake Lively, Florence Pugh, Zoe Kravitz, Tiffany Haddish, Mark Wahlberg, Gayle King, Pharrell Williams, Gabrielle Union and her hubby Dwyane Wade.
Everyone was having a great time, chatting and mingling around ... but the real fun started once Katy changed into a sheer gray dress and took the stage for her unexpected show. We're told Katy played 4 songs, including "Firework," "Dark Horse" and "Teenage Dream."
Check out video, obtained by TMZ, showing Katy belting out "Dark Horse" while doing a sexy dance knee-deep in a dense fog from smoke machines. As you can hear, the crowd ate it all up, begging Katy for more.
After Katy was done dazzling on stage, she posed for some selfies with fans.
Meanwhile, Hailey Bieber also grabbed some of the spotlight ... we filmed her hugging a friend and sitting back down with people at a small table. Her very famous spouse, Justin, was nowhere in sight. Seems like he had the night off.

Floyd Mayweather didn't just have diamonds all around his neck for the Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia fight over the weekend -- he apparently had 'em on his head too ... the boxing legend's jeweler tells TMZ Sports the lid Floyd rocked to the match was so encrusted in gems, it was worth over $1 MILLION, according to the jeweler!
Shuki Diamonds told us out in L.A. this week he spent over a month making the blinged-out cap for Mayweather ... and it took him even longer than that to find the perfect "invisible diamonds" for it.
Shuki says the process to get the jewels on the "The Money Team" hat was arduous ... explaining it took painstaking work to get the cap looking just right.
According to Shuki, he had to make a mold, sandblast it all, and then shine it so it'd be perfect for Floyd's head.
"It's a big process," Shuki said.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
The celeb jeweler gave it to Mayweather a few weeks ago while the two were in Dubai ... and since the two are so tight, he let it go free of charge.
And, when Floyd finally broke it out in public for Tank's massive win over Garcia in the boxing match of the year -- Shuki said he appreciated it very much.
Now, Shuki estimates it could sell for over $5 million if it ever hit an auction block.
"There's only one in the world," the jeweler said. "It's become historical -- it's Floyd Mayweather."
