Is it possible to make a lot of money and be stupid?

Why they pay them so much is really beyond me. They're competent singers, actors, athletes; they should be paid a good deal because of their skill (in most cases), like a good engineer or a successful business owner... but the insane amounts they get just don't reflect that. It's like they're being paid for just being famous.

yes, in fact lotteries are often called 'taxes on stupidity'

The 'common' explanation is that over several decades, a normal career will pay a small amount each month. Over a lifetime, it actually does pile up.

For sports, and 'accelerated' carreers, you get a lifetime's worth of money in only a few years. Whether it's ethical or not, I dunno.

Two word: Paris Hilton.

Does that answer your question?

Have you been watching the Presidential Election at all?

And look at the White House.

yes

The only smart one in the Hilton family is Barron, the Hilton sister's grandfather.
He pledged is estate to his charity foundation instead of to his spoilt grandkids

I forgot Professional Athletes. They get paid such outrageous sums for playing a sport well. They hire a staff of people to keep magazines from interviewing them and revealing how stupid they truly are.

Hun look at George W. Bush he is worth a ton of money and he is an idiot.
