Rupert Murdoch made $17 million last year and I'm inclined to think he's underpaid. After all, a so-so shortstop for the Yankees
can make $25 million. Tom Cruise is paid
$25 million per movie -- plus points! -- even though his acting skills are so iffy, no one's buying that whole
Katie Holmes thing. Other CEOs pull in 7 figures
just for retiring. So in light of the enviable
cable ratings and a sweeps win that included
dominating the final night, I'd say Murdoch is a modern-day rarity: an executive who is actually worth his compensation.

Much as I think of him as the antichrist, you may have a point.
If he does indeed only get paid that much, then that is surprising!
I have a feeling it might have been more like;
"I only made $17m Mr Tax Man."
