I read on in the news, that Brad and Angelina Jolie got paid $14 Million for pics of their twins!!
This got me to thinking..
Alot of people say.." oh, there just isn't much money out there these days.. times are tough for everyone"..
Well, yes its true, that times are tough for most everyone.. that being the average American family..
But THERE IS SOOO much money floating around in this country, that there is absolutely NO reason"times should be tough" on the average hard working American family!!
Here is a little info I found....
This Is Forbes top paid celebs, that are either in sports or tv,
That number beside their name isn't their age.. its the amount of MILLIONS they earn each year!!!
for doing what I may ask??.. Entertaining us??.. WOW!
Oprah Winfrey 260
Jerry Bruckheimer 120
Steven Spielberg 110
Tiger Woods 100
Johnny Depp 92
Rolling Stones 88
Jay-Z 83
Tom Hanks 74
Madonna 72
Howard Stern 70
Brian Grazer/Ron Howard 70
Bon Jovi 67
Jerry Seinfeld 60
Elton John 53
Celine Dion 45
Simon Cowell 45
Oscar De La Hoya 43
Phil Mickelson 42
David Letterman 40
Kimi Raikkonen 40
Ben Stiller 38
Tim McGraw 37
Gore Verbinski 37
Michael Schumacher 36
Brad Pitt 35
Here is another little tidbit..
The average American family with 1 spouse working makes
$35,062.. That's $16.86 per hour
That amount is higher for a specific kind of job too, such as Doctor, nurses, and other jobs that are in high demand..
and I have to add.. most families that earn in the 80,000- 100,000 per year range, either are married and have NO kids.. ( DINKS) we call them..( Double Income No Kids)
Or they are married, and both work, which means, the kids are most likely being raised in day care 10-12 hours a day!!!( which costs ALOT of money I might add)
So, for anyone who thinks that there isn't any money out there.. we can all see, that in fact there is soooo much..
And I didn't even get into how much Politicians get paid!!!!! That's a whole other post in itself!!!
This folks is a HUGE part of why America is in the trouble it is, Mis managing of money, and GREED!!!!!!

Yeah I agree w/you on this one. The money in this country is being poorly managed! To me a plumber deserves millions versus some of these so-called "Stars" in Hollywood. Have you ever seen them work magic on your potty?? THAT is talent!! lol..
You're right though, so many people are out working very hard, and many with WAY more education and talent then these 'athletes' or 'actors' have! And yet they're getting paid only a tiny fraction of what the other guys are getting. It's really sick, honestly. Like how long are people going to say "Teachers should be getting paid more, it's not right" Well DURRR!! They are truly making a difference in this Nation, along with many other professions and making crap money compared to what they should be! So you're right, there IS money out there and people need to wake up and put it where it belongs. Stop wasting it on people who simply "entertain" us.
