3.7 million dollars in one minute flat!!

Hi guys,

Just heard this snippet over the radio.

Actress Nicole Kidman was paid that obscene amount of money for her recent Chanel ad!!!!! They reckon it's a new world record!!!

Most of us would be happy with just 10% of that in our entire lifetime!!

Surprising how some people (including Padi's footballers) get so OVERPAID for doing bugger all!!!

Cheers - JJ

Supply and demand JJ, supply and demand. I've stopped thinking about this some time ago because if you compare it to the wages in some Third World countries you can only (50 cents for 12 hours of picking cashew nuts ).

Agree JJ but it pales in comparison to the recent sudden loss of her son. Just goes to show that money isn't everything.

Wow! If I made that kind of money, I could get that Bark DD I've been wanting. Maybe even the Root Beer GMT as well!

Oops You're right. Nicole Kidman is the ugly ghostly looking thing that was married to Tom Cruise. I read it fast, Nicole, Nicole.
