I know he is in a " dark place " at the moment after knocking up his best mates married wife but how much money does one person need ?

Hope she takes half as alimony. That'd make me laugh.

He deserves every penny. He's keeping people who might otherwise drink 5 bottles of wine a day glued to the telly.

£ 61 000 000 a year ? What about capping people at £ 2 000 000 a year ? , a tough life I know and giving the extra to pay for Hospitals and Nurses ?

The answer to this question is the same as the answer to the following:

Do we live in a capitalist society? It's that simple.

why is it obscene? what amount does he deserve?

and if you had a cap, what incentive to do more, to create more to build anything bigger or better? didnt they try it somewhere, how did it work out?

I believe that would slow down achievements in plenty of fields.

Interesting most people thinks he deserves £ 61m a year. I did not expect that.

Nobody deserves that much when there are children/people starving and dying of easily preventable/treatable diseases

He works hard, he's had a bit of luck along the way....nothing stopping any of us doing the same.

Do you not think an earnings cap would do any good ?

Don't really care what he gets up to but it's his money, good luck to him.
If I earned that much each year and some lowly minion suggested I can only have some loose change from it, I'd pay someone to tell him to do one

He has built an empire. Maybe he doesn't need £61m, but if that's what his empire has earned him, yes he deserves it.
