In 2009, its board of directors alone were paid a total remuneration of $139,000. In the same year, the top 10 employees remunerations totalled more than $1.79 million, some $400,000 more than the direct cost of the Arts Agenda programme.[2]

gollark: I didn't mention "money".
gollark: What?
gollark: (Sidenote: interestingly, apparently the development of farming actually led to significantly *worse* life for people for quite a long time, because it allowed much more population per land area, causing people to end up at a subsistence level and quite malnourished and stuff)
gollark: Modern supply chains are complex, and while we could not have those you would then lose out on stuff like microelectronics, medical things, and the economies of scale meaning you can have nice things cheaply.
gollark: How is that better? We need widescale coordination to do anything.
