I know a guy who gets paid money simply for being 6ft. 4in. 240 lbs.
He “works” as a bouncer in a rather small bar, in a rather small town where there is hardly any problems of rowdiness. The bar has no need for a bouncer, the police are nearby. He and his friends drink beer, and par-tay every friday and saturday night, and he gets a paycheck for being there.

I also ran across this article on CNN.com thru my cell phone while wasting time during a meeting. It was the 2nd article listed under US News at about noon EST. Way to go.

I was on CNN.com and thought to myself, “hmm, an article on undeserved wealth? Mental_floss totally beat them to the punch!” before clicking on it and realizing it was a reference to this article. Kudos!

What about the execs of Merrill Lynch who messed up the company and walked away with millions when it got bought by Bank of America? I’d like to learn about them and what they did (or didn’t) do.

Nicholas Cage took home a cool $30 million for not playing Superman. Think that beats them all.

The WAMU Exec story has been out for a while but WHO Exactly is going to pay this contract guarentee? WAMU as an corporoate entity doesn’t exist anymore so I don’t understand who is going to write the check. They should have paid him in WAMU stock…
