Betty Grable, with $208,000 in movie deals was the highest paid woman in 1949. Today Cameron Diaz makes that just to show up at her trailer! When it came to the CEO's and Executives in America, Charles Skouras who owned most of the movie theaters took down $810,000 and he was the highest paid person in the country! Henry Ford II made $200,000 as president of Ford Motor Co. Vincent Rigio Pres of American Tobacco was paid $484,200.
Sixty One years later our Government allows thieving Banksters on Wall Street to rip off the American people and break our economy at the tune of BILLIONS.
PS: On a side note, Betty Grable, the nations highest paid woman was quoted "After I pay my taxes at the tune of almost 80% I take care of my horses on my ranch" .......Grable and her husband Harry James owned eight race horses and a breeding farm in Calabasas California.
Ah ya...that Betty Grable smile!
