Howard Stern to get $220 million in Sirius stock
Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. will give Howard Stern 34 million shares of stock _ worth about $220 million at today's prices _ because the company has met agreed-upon targets for
gaining new subscribers under its 2004 deal with the shock jock.
In a regulatory filing Thursday, Sirius said its subscriber count as of Dec. 31, 2005, exceeded the target it had agreed upon with Stern in October 2004, when it made a five-year deal with him.
The man may be crude pervert, but he is the Einstein of crude perverts.
If Eric Clapton is God, Howard Stern is smarter than even Mick Jagger.
ReplyDelete(Mick Jagger dropped out of school -- he'd been studying economics, and a particular prof tried to talk him out of it, saying that rock n roll was just a fad that wouldn't last. Said prof was known later to eat those words publicly on a regular basis. Or so the story I've been told goes....)
Most economists aren't that good at predicting the economy - they should definitely stay away from music criticism. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe prof used to say that Mick Jagger understood economics better than he did. :) So, Mick Jagger is at least a good practical economist.
