Combine hatred, anger and envy, three traits of the modern day left, and you've got a combustible brew ready to blow. Now when they find out
how much dough he's raking in, behold the fury. Of course from his taxes alone he could pay for hundreds of people to receive their "free" ObamaCare, a point sure to escape the haters.
It pays to be Glenn Beck ... and pays, and pays, and pays.
The controversial Fox News loud-mouth - hero to conservatives, dartboard fodder to liberals - made $32 million in the 12 months ending March 1, reports Forbes magazine.
His company, Mercury Radio Arts, churns out books, runs a profitable Web site, and manages his sold-out appearances.
Beck insists he's not political, even after leading the charge against health care reform, feeding the frenzy of the Tea Party members, and telling his loyalists President Obama has "a deep-seated hatred for white people."
"I could give a flying crap about the political process," Beck tells the new issue of Forbes magazine (Forbes.com).
"We're an entertainment company."
And his brand of entertainment has paid off.
"I aspire to Walt Disney's never-ending quest to try to improve the quality of what he's doing, his never-ending vision of, 'Yes, it can be done,'" Beck said.
Not to mention his building one of the most lucrative and durable entertainment empires of all time.
Here's where the money comes from, Forbes reports: Publishing (books and Fusion magazine), $13 million a year; Radio, $10 million; Digital/Online, $4 million; Paid Appearances, $3 million; Fox News, $4 million.
Doesn't look like all those childish boycotts are quite working, huh?
