How CEO Pay Compares With Hollywood Celebrities and Sports StarsYes, chief executives in the U.S. are well paid. But actors, sports stars and singers are among the cultural figures whose annual pay outstrips CEOs. Generally, CEOs are useful for decades. Whereas sports stars for just a few years, maybe 1 decade. CEOs earn their kingdoms. Guess that beats the $7.90 an hour I made in 1996 when I worked at a treatment t home for at risk youth (I did have a college diploma at that time) or the $22,500 a year when I got promoted to supervisor 2 years later. Thankfully I made 23,500 when I started teaching in 1999. I have to pay? No thanks!

Meet the 31-year-old African American CEO aiming to revolutionize real estate investingRyan Williams is on a mission to revolutionize the stodgy real estate industry. But as an African American executive trying to disrupt real estate, Williams has also faced his fair share of skepticism. You can't 'disrupt' real estate. You want to buy a house, you hire an RE agent to show you listed houses, they negotiate price with seller & their agent, and manage paperwork for the deal. Nothing really disruptive about it, just basic sales and brokerage. He's american, right? Wouldn't be easier to call him just american maybe then people will start looking at each others as people not as by skin or where your ancestors came from Good lord. Everything has to be adout race these days.
