Glen Beck Made $ 32 Million in 2009 and could care less about politics
Edited on Thu Apr-08-10 01:57 PM by samplegirl
Crazy is Glenn Beck's business and, last year, business was good. According to Forbes, Beck pulled in $32 million in the 12 months ending March 1. Most of the money was made by Mercury Radio Arts, the "entertainment company" that handles Beck's best-selling books, his lucrative website and his sold-out sweater concerts, all of which accounted for $30 million of the money he made.

Ever the capitalist, Beck isn't content with his current level of wealth. And since he doesn't really care about politics (he told Forbes "I could give a flying crap about the political process."), his plans are to make more money by rolling out more radio stations, selling more books and continuing the "never-ending quest to try to improve the quality" of what he's doing. At least that last one is a goal we can all support.

3. True



Beck has been in broadcasting all his adult life. He's found a gig that rakes in the coins.

He could GAF about politics just as long as the money keeps rolling in for books and appearances and the like.

4. And I was taught that the cream rises to the top.
Now in the upside down world, the dregs - like so many turds - find success.

10. I have often believed the man believes little of what he says
He is just greedy and knows how well his brand of hate will sell.
