In today’s Parade magazine ( the one which comes with the Sunday newspaper), it was very clear that there is no relationship between what you get paid to how much or how hard you work.

An airline pilot like Chesley Sullenberger, who saved lives of hundreds of people during US airways Hudson river crash earns only $100,000 and a rapper like Jay-Z earns a whooping $82 million!

The range of salary for working class people ranged from approx. $18,700 (School bus driver) to $10 million (Ken Lewis, CEO of Bank of America). In contrast the salary or earning of celebrities, sports people, singers, rappers etc ranged from $2.2 million (Britney Spears) to $125 million (Tyler Perry, Actor/Director). There were few exceptions like John Arnold,  a hedge fund manger who made $1.5 billion and Barbie doll which made $3.3 billion.

Here are  few numbers:

  • Alex Rodriguez: Basket Ball: $ 34 million
  • Rod Blagojevich: Ex-Governor of Illinois: $177,400
  • Jennifer Aniston: Actress: $ 27 million
  • Michael Bloomberg: New York Mayor: $1 ( yes, this is not a mistake!)
  • Tina Fey: Actress/Comedian: $4.6 million ( Who actually likes her??)
  • Sarah Palin: Governor of Alaska: $125,000 ( Now you know why she wanted to be the VP)
  • Beyonce: Singer: $80 million
  • Patrick Dempsey: Actor : $3.5 million
  • John Grisham: Author: $25 million ( I love his novels!)
  • Danice Patrick: Race Car driver and Go-Daddy girl: $7 million
  • Rush Limbaugh: Radio Host: $38 million
  • Kelly Ripa: TV host: $8 million
  • Tiger Woods; Golfer: $110 million
  • Carolyn Murphy: Supermodel: $ 4.5 million
  • Will Ferrell: Actor: $31 million
  • Taylor Swift: Singer: $5.5 million

American life is based on hard working people who go every day to work, sweat out in sun and then bring food to the table. What do they get in return, a paltry salary? Yes, I do agree that celebrities do bring enjoyment, fun and laugh to our lives. But do they do so much that they get such enormous amount of money or genormous money? I do not think so.
