No details were confirmed by news outlets, but Will Ferrell and Larry David went to court and guess what – JP Morgan Chase won. Not only that, but Ferrell also owes $600K in penalties and legal costs

“In layman’s terms, Ferrell wanted JPMorgan to essentially void the purchase of the securities. The specific securities were not disclosed. A Financial Industry Regulatory Authority panel also ordered the actor to pay $22,500 for “discovery abuse and failure to comply with the forum’s discovery rules and procedures,” according to the site.”

Wow. $18 million may sound like a lofty price for us, but Will Ferrell‘s net worth is estimated at anywhere from $40-$80 million dollars.
