It is very difficult to believe, but it is true. One Public speak by the former President, US Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke got $ 2,50,000 for a 40 minutes speech in Abu Dhabi, while his salary for one year in his post was only $1,99,700.
It is not the first similar case. His predecessor in the same post, Greenspan also got more than his one year salary for his speech after retiring from the post.
While the poor put all efforts to get something to live somehow, the people at the top are paid huge sums, because they are at the top, This is what capitalism has brought to the common people.
