AvidFan Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 On "TMF" now until 8:00pm. They've just given a breakdown of investment banker bonuses last year - The CEO of Bear Stearns received $34 million apparently. Some of the houses they own, I must admit, are quite nice. I suppose it must be some compensation when you lose your job to know you own a $25 million mansion with its own 20-seat cinema and icerink.

BoomBoom Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Just keep in mind that there is *nothing* people like this would not do for money. If they had all the money in the world minus 1 cent, they would not be happy until they got that last cent. It's avarice on a truly sickening scale.

To even a very well paid executive, this may be seen as luxury, but to these guys all the people around have the same or more. So they need the constant injection of huge bonuses to just maintain this lifestyle. To me they are mega rich though obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
