Talk about obscenity!

mrlmd · July 20th, 2010, 06:57 PM

I was in the cage today (Yeah sometimes you have to do it), and there was a program on NPR about pornography in this country (imagine that).
What really grossed me out, was the program host made a statement that Howard Stern makes over $300,000,000 a year. That's right, three hundred million. Way to go, nice job. But that's absolutely ridiculous.
On the other hand, you have to give him credit for ? smarts, luck, being the first to do that and making a niche for himself. Just to think, any of us could have done that, and would have wanted to do that if we thought we could get away with it, but he got there first. But $300,000,000 a year? Are you kidding, are you out of your f**king mind? That's more than the GNP of some third world countries.

Howard tried to get into the local radio morning talk shows here in Minnesota a few years back. Didn't last long due to the KQRS morning show powerhouse. Ran him outta town like a common pygmy.

I remember him signing a 5 year $500million contract which I think paid is underlings as well. I think NPR didn't get their facts right. $300 a year means he out earns oprah by a factor of 3 and every other CEO, COO, CFO, President, and Chairman of every company in the world.

And when exactly does NPR get its facts right??

Actually, Howard got "Stock" which is now worthless.

Right, Howard was the face of Sirius and they gave him the big incentives as him going to satellite would bring many listeners to satellite.

I am pretty sure that figure is off.
If he makes $300 mil/yr then Warren Buffet would be calling him for advice.

Looks more like $30M/year on a go-forward basis:

But in 2006, including the stock given at the time, it was closer to $300M that year:
