Good 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. :-)

Picasso 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.
