New York's Highest-Paid CEOs
Metro,
the free daily paper, reported in its June 25 edition that a bunch of NYC people you may never have heard of are making more than most of us can dream of. No. 1 on the list of New York's highest-paid CEOs in 2008, according to Crain's New York Business, is Alliance Bernstein's Peter Kraus, pocketing $52.538 million; No. 2 is Gamco Investors's Mario Gabelli, pocketing $45.927 million; and No. 3 is Philip Morris's Louis Camilleri, pocketing $43.229 million.

I couldn't access the full list (you need a subscription to Crain's, or you can buy the report here), but the Metro article did note that there are only four women in the top 100: No. 26, Avon Products's Andrea Jung, $12.9 million; No. 37, PepsiCo's Indra Nooyi, $9.9 million; No. 72, Ann Taylor Stores's Kay Krill, $5.7 million, and No. 79, The New York Times Co.'s Janet Robinson, $5.3 million.

And I was happy to get a few thousand back on my taxes this year.

So we all know models make a lot of money, but do you know just how much? And if you had to guess which one was making the most money right now who would you pick? I just love the lists Forbes comes up with, and here's another great one of the world's top earning models. Its list has a total of 15 of the wealthiest models, and I've included the top 10 here:
How many of them do you recognize? And wow, Gisele is way ahead of the competition!

World's Richest Soccer Players

BusinessWeek has compiled a list of the world's richest soccer players, all of whom are playing in the 2006 FIFA World Cup this year. This also helps us see that, though the US may not pay its players as much as the players of other professional sports, soccer is indeed one of the most popular - and best rewarded - sports in the world. Here are the top five highest paid players and their annual incomes:

  • Ronaldinho, Brazil - $29.2 million (pictured)
  • David Beckham, England - $22.9 million
  • Ronaldo, Brazil - $22.1 million
  • Wayne Rooney, England - $20.4 million
  • Zinédine Zadine, France - $19.1 million

Jessica Simpson getting $1,240 per spoken word

This is the first time I have heard of somebody getting paid for each uttered word.  Amazingly Jessica Simpson, someone not quite known for her colloquy, will be getting a whopping $1,240 for every utterance of communication.  For a meager 806 words plus some extra bucks for showing her face, the singer will be getting a hunky-dory 1 million dollars. She will be playing a hot cashier who makes all the men go ga-ga in the film Employee of the Month, which has just begun filming.
