To put things in perspective, Microsoft also paid Jerry Seinfeld something like a million dollars a minute for his on-screen time, or $183,000 a second. $300,000 over three years (almost 95 million seconds) works out to be 1.73162648 nano-jerries. Nice to know what you're worth.
- bigbang 18y ago"Nice to know what you're worth." Should be - Nice to know what Microsoft considers worth
- ken 18y agoGood point, but isn't a million dollars a minute more like $16,000 a second, not $183,000 a second? So he's really worth more like 19 nanojerries. Not nearly as bad as you make it sound. :-)

- tspiteri 18y agoAlso, he's counting the on-screen time, not the real time Seinfeld had to give for travel/acting/whatever.
- raganwald 18y agoPicasso would say that I'm not counting the decades Jerry spent building himself up to the point where he could earn this payday, nor am I counting the years Tom spent doing the same.
- ido 18y ago1 minute on screen probably required a lot more than 1 minute of work though. Films that lasts 2 hours normally take months/years to make.
