LIFTING LIVES (AND CHECKS)

During the Bash at the Beach in Vegas for ACM Lifting Lives, WME Nashville co-head Rob Beckham and WME Partner Gayle Holcomb present a $100k check for profits raised during the show. The gentlemen of Florida Georgia Line joined the festivities as ACM topper Peter Fisher, EVP Tiffany Moon and Lifting Lives Board Chairman Ed Warm received the check.

The two-day Bash, at Mandalay Bay Beach, featured WME clients FGL, Brothers Osborne, Big and Rich, Maddie & Tae, Cole Swindell, Dustin Lynch, Chris Lane, Jake Owen, Lee Brice, Brett Young, Tucker Beathard, Dylan Scott, DJ Silver and William Michael Morgan. Both nights were hosted by Colt Ford.

Lifting Lives, the ACM's charity arm, is dedicated to "improving lives through the power of music." Read more about this fine organization here.

In other outsize payment news, a surfboard-sized check in the amount of 40 million rubles was slid under the door of a Trump International penthouse suite that same weekend.
