If we knew journalism paid so well, maybe we would've at least tried it. The late media man Peter Jennings left this earth with a whopping $50 million fortune, all for reading off the teleprompter.
He's splitting it with his two kids, ex-wife and widow (who gets the Central Park West apartment), as well as his Peter Jennings Foundation.
Jennings, who died last month after battling lung cancer, reportedly earned as much as $10 million a year during part of his tenure at ABC. His will lists $50 million in personal property and $3.5 million in real property in New York.
In addition to his upper West Side apartment, Jennings owned a house in Bridgehampton, L.I., and property in his native Canada. Most of the rest of the estate is in stock, cash and retirement funds - though Jennings also owned two horses, Cabin Fever and Channel's Gate.
As for our Jossip-funded estate, we've got some certificates for a free week at David Barton's Gym as well as some spa services. But, uh, we're going to use all those up before we die, so you'll get nothing. Nothing!
