Fifteen million a year is a mere $7,211 an hour (assuming a 40-hour work week and no vacations). The top 25 hedge fund managers in the U.S. make an average of over $200,000 an hour. That's right; they make more in an hour than the vast majority of people do in a year. But they're male, so no one has a problem with it. It's only when a woman starts making a lot of money off speeches and the like that people start to feel disturbed.
