    Money Money Money

    I always remember ABBA's song... 'money, money money, it's a rich man's world'.

    BBC News (1st November 2003)

    Earnings Per Year

    10 HIGHEST PAID WOMEN IN BRITAIN - 2003

    A note for football fans; With earnings of £20.5m a year, David Beckham gets more than the Queen, and remains the UK's highest paid footballer.

    Anybody daring enough to declare their earning per year?
    CHL. £1000 a year (sure is depressing comparatively!!!)

    I just work out David Beckham's salary to be RM2.7 million per game. Or RM30,000 per minute. I mean... a lot of time on the football pitch, he could just be strolling around, picking up the ball or just picking his nose.

    Want to be even more depressed?

    There was a list published recently for the 10 most highly-paid dead people.

    The list include Elvis, John Lennon, Tolkien etc

    We're alive and still make less than them.
