No none of them are “worth” that $$…when you think there are people who put their lives on the line to protect us and get like $50,000 a year…think of it:

50,000/60,000,000 = 0.0000833…which is 0.0833% …so not even 1/100 of what that guy makes to drive a car.

But making money is all about entertaining people…not protecting them
