Glenn, I agree. Not bad at all. It's an amazing country. These people are given as much money as top-tier pro athletes and movie super-stars. What does Michael Jordan, the most successful, arguably the very best basketball player ever, get a year? I think it's about $20 million, but I could be wrong. It might be less. It might be $20 million for a three or five year period covered by the contract. Dwight, I do not know how much Michael Jordan makes with his contract and endorsements. It is a lot. You made a comparison but possibly one that does not show how much Covery's compensation is really out of wack. Sports figures in the US are well paid too and maybe too much so but that is another debate. There are many MDs, engineers, accountants, CEOs of succesful firms that I am sure make no more than a million or two per year. I am referring to the good ones too not the average. Glenn
