Mane announced a $20.4 million agro-industrial project that could significantly expand mango processing in Senegal. The Liverpool legend's project, named SM10 Agro, is expected to create 1,000 jobs in various areas of the mango indus...

The former Arsenal and FC Barcelona star and his partner, Andrea Rajacic, have relisted their penthouse at 39 Crosby St., according to the Wall Street Journal. It’s a stunning, roughly 6,086-square-foot residence with five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, two powder rooms and some 3,400 square feet of private outdoor space.
