Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown makes roughly $50 million a year, but on Saturday, he learned that not even a fat NBA contract can exempt him from Beverly Hills city ordinances.
Brown, 29, attempted to host a cultural panel for his brand, 741, at a lavish mansion.
The permit for his event was denied by authorities.

Still, the gathering — roughly 200 guests deep — was hosted anyway. And when the event was shut down, Brown didn’t exactly take it in stride.
After police pulled the plug, he jumped on X with the emotional stability of a toddler to claim he was targeted (insinuating he was "racially" targeted … we'll get to that soon).

"Beverly Hills is so trash I’m offended," Brown posted, upset about the $300,000 he says he lost in event build-out costs.
For context, $300,000 is about 0.6% of Brown’s annual salary.
Brown later insisted he didn’t think he needed a permit because he was friends with the homeowner.
