Willem-Alexander, 55, Dutch King, continues to live tax-free. After a failed legislative initiative, he will not have to pay any taxes to the tax authorities in the future either. Prime Minister Mark Rutte announced that too few MPs had approved such a request. According to the constitution, the King, his wife Máxima, Crown Princess Amalia and the Queen’s mother, Princess Beatrix, do not have to pay any taxes. In October, a majority in Parliament called for the royal family’s tax exemption to be abolished. But a two-thirds majority is needed to change the constitution, i.e. 100 of the 150 MPs. According to the prime minister, only 90 MPs have now approved the application.
Roger Federer, 41, former tennis player, gains experience as an art object. The Swiss revealed on his social media channels that he had posed for his compatriot, the artist Ugo Rondinone, for a kind of giant mobile. The installation, titled “Burn Shine Fly,” was on view in Venice in the summer of 2022 and included seven life-size, nude figures, painted blue and white, hanging from the ceiling of a church by thin threads. The artist referred to them as “flying body clouds”. Federer shared photos on Twitter showing casts being taken of his face and hands. The finished model without the cloud painting can also be seen, and the ex-athlete’s facial features are clearly visible. However, when installed, the figures were hung at a great height and the Federer model was oriented facing up, so that he remained unrecognized.

He was nominated for a Grammy for his film music for the cinema hit “Top Gun: Maverick”, but wants to stay away from the award ceremony, as he told the German Press Agency. Because: “So far there hasn’t been a single word from the record company or from the film distribution company Paramount, nothing personal, just a general ad. That’s weak,” says Faltermeyer. In 1986 Faltermeyer won the Grammy for the soundtrack to “Beverly Hills Cop” and a year later for “Top Gun”.
