-Fees? How much do they bring in for credit card issuers?
Last year the credit card industry took in $43 billion in card fees.

1 in 125 people in US are millionaires = 2.3 million up 14%

Billionaires - Forbes list 587 individuals and family units worth a billion or more

George Lucas earned $400,000,000. Oprah Winfrey was second with $150,000,000. Steven Spielberg, Jim Carrey and Nicolas Cage earned between $60,000,000 and $30,000,000 each in 2003.

Thanks Pam,

Maybe next year I can sponsor a prize. I think a CB necktie would be cool, you could wear it to court.
