This is in a year?!

[StoOgE]

This is in a year?!

probably a small town. I have a friend who is a city council member for a town of about 10K and makes like 8K a year doing that. It's largely a volunteer/part time thing.

Ah, that makes me feel better. I was worried about this person.

[LiveFromKyoto]

Some of these I have a hard time believing. Like the dog walker/pet sitter making 100k a year, or the 26 year old "CEO" making $2.2 million.

[Topher]

I read the title as "White People Earn".

Entertainment > Self-employed > Employee

[thesoapster]

Why does Danica Patrick look like a completely different person in that picture...

edit: Eh, guess I'm used to seeing her not tan (and looking kinda pale actually), with sunglasses, in a race suit.

[Oozer3993]

I am contractually obligated to post this:



Singer
Hendersonville, Tenn.
$5.5 million

[skyfinch]

Why does Danica Patrick look like a completely different person in that picture...

Because people are used to seeing her in the side view mirror.

[YYZ]

Why does Danica Patrick look like a completely different person in that picture...

Because she's trying to look attractive.

Hot

[Guybrush Threepwood]

This dude looks exactly like Michael Smith from Around the Horn

[Raistlin]

[nyprimus2]

This dude looks exactly like Michael Smith from Around the Horn

Like a bigger, darker version.

[JCX]

Traverse city isn't huge, but it is one of the major cities in the northern part of the state.

Wow she really looks like Scarlett Johansson accept blonder and whiter.

Dog walker in NYC make serious bank.

[Vox-Pop]

Hey now lets not insult SJ.

I'd like to be contractually obligated to blow my baby gravy all over them titties.

[OuterWorldVoice]

Wow. Danica Patrick is hot. And not just, "hot for a racing driver" hot.

Jimmy Jamie, 26 Home-health-care CEO Charleston, W.Va. $2,200,000

at the comments

"So Parade, this guy gets you not once but twice! Do you check your sources at all?? This guy is a college drop out and and has the mentatilty of a 12 year old. 2 years ago he said he was a tennis pro making 120,000 a year and now a CEO of home health care at 2.2 million. Parade now has the credit of toilet paper!!! Can't you just do a little background check before you prin???? If he makes that much money why does he still live with his mom? He is the joke of Charleston, WV and a total joke to the charleston tennis community!!!"

"Has Parade verified the sources on Jimmie Jamie? A couple years ago it was reported that was a tennis pro making $100,000+ and now he claims to make 2 million as a heath care CEO at age 26.

As Jimmie is known in the Charleston, WV area, these claims are questionable. People in Charleston play tennis with him and he is not a tennis pro and they do not know anything about a CEO of healthcare.

Please check your sources - he is reported to be on the cover of this week's Parade. "

[TxdoHawk]

This is just depressing, honestly. After graduating college and being laid off from decent-paying jobs for the second time in 8 months, I'm now begging for jobs that will barely sustain me just so I can pay my bills. Meanwhile, some 26-year-old useless CEO who's hardest daily decision likely involves choosing a pair of pants to wear for the day is earning over $2 million a year.

[vas_a_morir]

I was going to say, that Charleston guy looked like he's still in college, yet he's a CEO of a home health company? They got tricked again.

[Kinitari]

Seriously, if he was making 2.2mil a year, he could get a better haircut.

[reaver18]

No fucking way Tiger Woods made $110 million last year. god damn.

Tyler Perry made $120 million? Holy shit!

The difference in income is an order of magnitude better than anything I'll ever make. 1% of his salary would make a huge difference in anyones life. My whole family combined wont ever make that much.

When I have kids, they are going into every b-ball, baseball, football, hockey league out there. Why bother with anything else. Fuck this I wanna be an doctor/lawyer bullshit. Thats small beans

[Tyrone Slothrop]

i know the CEO guy is probably a hoax but it irks me how some people come to earn so much by their mid 20s (grown-up child prodigies and athletes/celebs excluded). i mean good for them, but goddamn.

[kozmo7]

I always get this crap mixed up. What's considered high class again? 100k - 200k annually? Not the absurdly rich but low High Class if that makes sense.

[Ela Hadrun]

Damn, that's a hot picture of Tina Fey. Damn.

Let your kids live their own life and buy yourself some lottery tickets.

[Door2Dawn]

I want to be rich :(

[Alex Anderson]

Aw, I was hoping for some random sports person instead of the guy most often pointed out for his obscene salary.
