Shohei Ohtani fans are shelling out a ton of dough to get their hands on a super-rare version of the MLB superstar's first Dodgers bobblehead ... with folks dropping more than a thousand bucks for the giveaway.

40,000 fans were gifted the highly-coveted promotion ahead of Los Angeles' home matchup against the Cincinnati Reds at Dodger Stadium on Thursday ... with 1,700 bobbles coming in a special road uniform colorway.

A handful of spectators who got their hands on the limited edition handout quickly headed to reseller sites to cash in on their luck ... and based on a quick search, it's working out in their favor.

According to eBay, there have been several sales already ... some reaching as high as $1,500.

Even the regular home uniform colorway is attracting a lot of interest ... with those selling for hundreds.

It's a silver lining for Dodgers fans willing to part ways with the mini Ohtanis ... 'cause the home team stunk up the place in the 7-2 loss.

The man of the night went 0-2 with a walk and a strikeout in the contest.

King Charles is already topping his late mother, the beloved Queen Elizabeth II, in one major way ... thanks to some superior financial planning.

The Sunday Times dropped their 2024 Rich List Friday ... which highlighted the wealthiest people in the UK, and unsurprisingly His Royal Highness made the list, but the standout fact is his net worth is worth far exceeds the former Windsor monarch's.

According to the list, the King is worth $770 million -- which shockingly only makes him the 258th richest person in the country. His fortune jumped significantly in the last year ... as his 2023 wealth was notably $12 million less.

Airbnb's getting super with the newest addition to its Icons collection ... making a real-life rental based on Edna's mansion from the Pixar movie "The Incredibles."

The new house -- part of the yearlong initiative by the company that kicked off earlier this month with 11 amazing locations -- announced its newest creation Thursday, a sleek, minimalist property based on the hit 2004 movie in celebration of its 20th anniversary.

The place has all the amenities Edna -- who makes the super suits for the titular crime-fighting fam -- and, the company says guests will get the same experience ... building their very own super suits!

Jordan Belfort -- aka "The Wolf of Wall Street" -- is issuing a stern warning as YOLO fever once again shakes the market via meme stocks ... telling GameStop-ers to invest wisely.

Here's the deal... shares for GameStop and AMC skyrocketed in the past few days as traders jumped on the wild meme stock ride anew ... all because of a single X post from the dude who kicked it all off in the first place back in 2021 ... Keith Gill, known as Roaring Kitty.

As TMZ reported, the viral day trader whipped everyone into a frenzy again just by posting memes after silence for years ... and while everyone's excited, JB's offering up caution.

Another wild Wednesday for TMZ ... and we've got a bunch of clips for you to check out. See the best from our TV shows.

On "TMZ Live," Jacob and Charles discuss major shakeups at Kanye West's company Yeezy including parting ways with his Chief of Staff Milo Yiannopoulos.

It took years, but Rusell Wilson and Ciara are officially done with Seattle ... the A-list couple finally closed on their massive, waterfront property, and their bank account's $31 million fatter!

The 11,104 square-foot mansion, built in 2007 and just 10 miles from Lumen Stadium (where the Seahawks play), officially closed this week for $21.25 million ... after it was originally listed for a whopping $28,000,000.

The superstar athlete and singer opted to knock down the price, and they ultimately found a buyer.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's charitable foundation is no longer on Cali's s*** list -- 'cause it ain't delinquent anymore, and it sounds like it never should've been to begin with.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Archewell foundation has officially been changed from delinquent to "current" on the State of California's charities page -- a 180 that seems to have happened overnight ... which, as we've learned, is the result of mistake on the state's part.

As it turns out ... Harry and Meghan's org was never actually delinquent -- as sources with direct knowledge tell us the payments that were owed in association with renewal fees had, in fact, been paid way back in November ... amounting to $200.

The last pair of trousers Tom Brady ever wore in an NFL game are up for grabs -- the super-rare piece of history has hit the auction block ... and could fetch a TON of money!!

TMZ Sports has learned ... the uniform pants TB12 wore during Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 2023 NFC Wild Card game against the Dallas Cowboys have been made available via Grey Flannel Auctions ... with bidding starting May 20.

The opening bid is $10k ... but considering the GOAT's jersey from the same game fetched $1.4 million last year, it's safe to say these slacks are gonna sell for a pretty penny.

The man who could've potentially turned a hundred bucks into a whopping $1.7 MILLION on one bet is taking the guaranteed money and running ... cashing out of his viral championship-winner parlay at $80,900.

Wayne Shelton became internet famous over the past few weeks ... after it was revealed he was an Oklahoma City Thunder NBA Finals title away from becoming a millionaire thanks to a three-leg parlay he placed last year -- when he picked OKC, the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Chiefs to win their respective championships at +1143000 odds (with 50% boost).

Of course, the Rangers and Chiefs did their part ... leaving Shelton one leg away from a MASSIVE payday -- but with each Thunder win and loss in the 2024 playoffs, his cashout option fluctuated like crazy.

Rudy Gobert apparently didn't learn the first time around -- the Minnesota Timberwolves Defensive Player of the Year was fined AGAIN for making a money gesture toward officials during a game ... this time, getting hit with a $75k punishment.

Gobert was clearly upset with calls during the Wolves' Game 4 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday ... and an offensive foul late in the fourth quarter led the 31-year-old to throw up another money gesture -- implying the refs were influenced by sports betting.

The league announced the consequences on Tuesday ... saying Gobert was fined 75 racks for making an "inappropriate and unprofessional gesture that questions the league and its game officials."

Fiona Harvey is eyeing a big payday from Piers Morgan ... this after allegedly being paid chump change for her now-viral interview all about "Baby Reindeer."

The real-life inspiration behind Netflix's new hit series told Daily Record she's hoping for a seven-figure payout after claiming to have only received about $313 for the sit-down seen round-the-world ... in which Fiona suggested Richard Gadd had defamed her in his show.

She says ... "I asked if that was what they paid everyone and, if so, I wanted to see documentation to that effect. That documentation has not been forthcoming. I have not signed a contract for the interview and I will be seeking far more than a piddling £250."

GameStop stock soared to 110% Monday ... all thanks to a cryptic social media return from viral day trader Roaring Kitty -- who memorably caused this to happen a few years ago.

The internet personality -- whose real name is Keith Gill -- hinted he's stepping back into the public eye after almost 3 years away ... by posting an eyebrow-raising meme on X late Sunday.

The post in question ... RK shared a photo of a man leaning forward in a chair holding a video game controller ... providing no caption as an explanation. It's a well-known meme -- and it just means that someone's ready to get serious ... presumably, Kitty is too.

Sylvester Stallone is about to score a massive payday after putting his watch collection up for auction, because one of the timepieces could fetch a literal king's ransom.

As you might have heard, the 'Rocky' star is selling 11 watches from his personal collection through Sotheby's next month ... and one crown jewel, in particular, has a watch expert going bonkers 'cause it's incredibly rare (and damn expensive).

YouTube personality Nico Leonard van der Horst -- who knows all things watches -- tells TMZ ... he simply can't believe Sly is parting with his ultra-rare Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime.

Tyrese's legal woes appear to be following him wherever he goes, but he dodged a bullet out in Georgia this past weekend ... bailing on a concert after someone tried serving him.

A video making the rounds online shows the singer serenading a crowd at the Stockbridge Amphitheater a couple days ago ... when a security guard attendant appears to whisper something in his ear while he's in the middle of performing.

Tyrese keeps singing for a bit before abruptly jumping down from the stage and booking it up the side steps towards the exit, telling the crowd he loves them (and continuing to sing!)

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's charitable org has hit a snag -- being declared delinquent by the state of California, but there's a perfectly good explanation ... snail mail.

Here's the deal ... the Archewell Foundation was found to be "delinquent" this week on paying its renewal fees -- and it's technically barred from fundraising until that gets fixed. On its face, it sounded like the charity wasn't taking care of business ... but that's not quite the case.

We're told the reason Archewell was able to hit this not-so-great status is because a check to pay for these registration fees was simply never received, although we hear it was sent.

Kendrick Lamar dropping "Not Like Us" at the height of his battle with Drake sealed the deal for his victory ... and the numbers speak to his big win!!!

On Monday, Billboard unveiled the new Hot 100, with "Not Like Us" leading the charge and his other Drake disses, "Euphoria" and "Like That" (with Future and Metro Boomin), ranked at #3 and #6, respectively.
