Found this in today’s “Fact of the Day” in the “Daily Maverick”: Who says the best don’t come cheap? Bob Woodward is one of the most famous journalists in the world. His reporting into the Watergate scandal, alongside colleague Carl Bernstein, earned him a Pulitzer Prize and brought down a government. Robert Redford played him in a movie. He still works at the Washington Post, where he began his career, receiving for his services the princely sum of $25 per month. That’s not a typo. A few years ago, aware of the paper’s precarious financial situation, Woodward offered to work essentially for free – and the paper gratefully accepted. Woodward earns enough from his books and speaking engagements to make this possible, and will continue the arrangement under the Post’s new owner, Jeff Bezos. “He’s worth every penny,” joked Bezos.
