While the amount of the lawsuit may seem high, if the allegations are true, I hope the original artist is appropriately compensated. Oprah and her companies should be good for the money.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 6th 2009 9:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Oprah Winfrey Sued For Over A Trillion Dollars]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/08/06/oprah-winfrey-sued-for-over-a-trillion-dollars/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/08/06/oprah-winfrey-sued-for-over-a-trillion-dollars/</guid><description><![CDATA[650 million people bought these poems for $20 online? I find that to be the outrageous part considering the population of America is about 300 million.

My little brother in the 3rd grade could even tell that 650,000,000 x 20 doesn't even EQUAL A TRILLION!!!

And the math behind this is also funny. What I like most though is the picture you chose to use. Oprah laughing in the guy's face is what it says to me. I love it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[nthn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 7th 2009 2:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Oprah Winfrey Sued For Over A Trillion Dollars]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/08/06/oprah-winfrey-sued-for-over-a-trillion-dollars/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/08/06/oprah-winfrey-sued-for-over-a-trillion-dollars/</guid><description><![CDATA[No One....<br><br>makes a billion dollars honestly.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[inese]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 7th 2009 4:22AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Oprah Winfrey Sued For Over A Trillion Dollars]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/08/06/oprah-winfrey-sued-for-over-a-trillion-dollars/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/08/06/oprah-winfrey-sued-for-over-a-trillion-dollars/</guid><description><![CDATA[INESE - you'd be surprised at the fact that there are indeed many people out there earning in excess of $1 billion per year.  Check out some of the hedge fund managers, for example.  James Simons for example, a true genius who runs a hedge fund called Renaissance Technologies, took home a salary of $2.5 billion last year.  Here's the top 5 hedgies from Alpha Magazine:<br><br>1. James Simons, Renaissance Technologies Corp. $2.5 billion<br>2. John Paulson, Paulson & Co. $2 billion<br>3. John Arnold, Centaurus Energy $1.5 billion<br>4. George Soros, Soros Fund Management $1.1 billion<br>5. Raymond Dalio, Bridgewater Associates $780 million<br><br>Anyway, getting back to the topic - the silly thing about this lawsuit, other than the plaintiff's flawed math, is the fact that there are no trillionaires in the world yet.  If this even makes it into a courtroom, the judge should immediately hold Mr. Goffe in contempt for wasting the valuable time and resources of the US legal system.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jamie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 7th 2009 2:29PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
