Al Gore Made $100 Million In One Month

[PhillyFlyers]

Fourteen years later, he made an estimated $100 million in a single month. In January, the Current TV network, which he helped to start in 2004, was sold to Qatari-owned Al Jazeera Satellite Network for about $500 million. After debt, he grossed an estimated $70 million for his 20 percent stake, according to people familiar with the transaction.

more proof that all these politicians are crooks and liars. they are in it for themselves. The media is also on board. Romney was touted as out-of-touch with the common man last election remember?

damn you are dumb son

just reading the part you quoted about the sale, he made $70 million in 9 years, not $100 million in one month

do you understand the difference between "gross" and "net"? do you understand what selling an asset is all about?

Dude can't you read properly?

He sold his stake in a tv network and got $70 mil from that. Two weeks later, he sold 59,000 shares of his Apple stock for another $30 mil.

That's $100 million in 3 weeks.

i only read the posted quote not the article

but let me blow your mind here - actually, Al Gore made $70 MILLION IN ONE MINUTE! He sold his stake in a TV network and got $70 million, so the minute the paperwork for that was finalized, AL GORE MADE $70 MILLION IN ONE MINUTE!! So as you can see, it's actually EVEN WORSE than $100 million in one month!

I mean instead of saying he made $100 million in one month, why not be even MORE misleadingly sensational and say he made $70 million in one day? I am curious as to why you chose "one month" as your time span for optimal sensationalism
