 You've got moolah!: ...enough to buy off God, apparently. In a Washington Post profile of America Online bigwigs, we learn that AOL's former president for business affairs, David M. Colburn, was Jewish. Not only that, but he apparently got three rabbis to pray for AOL stock to rise in exchange for $1 million each to a Jewish cause, assuming God listened. The rabbis, ever insightful fellows, countered that he'd need to attend synagogue as well. He did, the stock rose, the rabbis got their cash. Is that kosher?
The exceedingly rich Colburn also paid another million out to rent N'Sync for his daughters bat mitzvah party. When another daughter's big event came up, he rented Washington's Union Station and got the Dave Matthews Band to play the gig. So the question of the day? How much money does it take to buy off God and two very spoiled daughters at the same time?
