Rush Who? •$285 million salary and bonus for 2001 through 2008 ($35m bonus, salary of approximately $31.25m/year) •$400 million salary and bonus from 2009 through 2016 ($100m plus bonus - the exact figure was not disclosed, except for "nine digit bonus" - and $38m/year salary) So through his salary itself, he has earned $285 million for current work, $400 million for future. And that only covers back to 2001. Rush has been on the air since 1988. While he certainly earned less in his early days, it can be assumed his salary was significant. Additionally, it is rumored that he receives a share of advertising revenue, which would be quite large, considering his 20 million listeners each week. Thus, in conclusion, Rush Limbaugh is close to, or just over the billionaire net worth mark. With at least $685 million, and advertising revenue joined with previous contracts which must be in the hundreds-of-millions range, Rush can be assumed an essential billionaire. Click on thelinkbelow to find out information on Rush Laimbaugh's salary: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_estimated_net_worth_of_Rush_Limbaugh What, exactly, does this have to do with anything other than petty envy of how much he makes??? His salary has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he's in the hospital....lmao I really don't care if he's " speaking for me " or not. I choose to speak for myself. The amount of money he makes has no bearing on my life in any way, shape or form. Why should it matter how much he makes. It's obvious that the people who employ him find him to be worth that much. Why should it bother YOU that he makes as much as he does?? I don't agree with everything he says. He's anti union. I happen to be a union member. He thinks businesses, especially large corporations, should be allowed to do whatever they want. After seeing Enron and Adelphia at their worst, I think there needs to be some kind of system in place to ensure that kind of crap doesn't happen again. He sees no problem with execs making multi million dollar bonuses when their companies are failing. I definitely have a problem with that. But, all that being said...I really couldn't give a rat's azz about how much money Rush Limbaugh makes. You didn't offend me at all. No worries there. My whole point is that there is no one in this country that " speaks for " me. Like I said. It's obvious that the people who employ him think he is worth that kind of money. But how much he makes doesn't effect me, or you, in any way. If someone thought you were worth that much for doing what you do, would you refuse it?? |

They'll never let him die anyway. They have hours and hours of his show taped. 30 more years rerunning the last 30 years. If you hated hearing him the first time imagine how much you'll hate hearing it all again. http://mingle2.com/topic/show/260187 |

All this hatred and bitterness for a man that has made a living stating his opinion nothing more nothing less. I personally find the man abrasive and quit watching him over 20 years ago reminded me of the direct opposite of the far left wing liberals I tune them out also.
Who really cares what a man makes for a salary are we so petty to debase him for his salary because he is speaking for the blue collar worker. So what someone has to and people must have listened to him or he wouldn't be making that much money would he? I honestly hope and pray for his recovery the same as I would Obama and I have zero respect for him as a president. I do have respect for him as a human being. I have to say I am appalled by the callousness of the humanity I see in this thread. No matter what he does for a living he is a a human being, have we as a society reached so low as to bash and trash someone when they are down. I think that saddens me more than anything. |

Karma.
You live by the sword and all that. I will not participate in the wishing harm on him because I cannot do it and feel good within myself but he has lived a hateful life and it will always come back to you when you do that. |

Has he lived any worse of a life of many so called left wing liberals? |

Do you realize that you saying that shows more envy than anything else?? Who are YOU to determine who's salary is " bloated and insane "??? You don't like the prices his sponsors charge?? Stop buying them. Pretty simple actually. |

You and I don't agree on much of anything, Dragoness. But the fact that you will not resort to spewing venom and hate definitely allows me to respect you as a person. |
