Wow- That’s a Lot of Money

Hedge fund manager John Paulson made over $5 billion during 2010- that comes out to $158.55 per second.  According to this CNNMoney article by focusing on gold-focused funds because he sensed the weakness of currencies worldwide.  Because I love my readers I did some math:  here is what he would have made if he’d gone to see some of my favorite Oscar-nominated films “on the clock”:

The Fighter - $1,093,995.00

Black Swan - $1,027,404.00

The King’s Speech - $1,122,534.00

Thus concludes your cinema / rich person lesson for the day!
