$43,600 for PETA President

We already knew that PETA's president and founder, Ingrid Newkirk, was a talented person. Whether you agree with all of PETA's tactics and goals, it's hard to argue with an organization that has enjoyed so much success on behalf of animals.

So, it comes as no surprise that Ingrid is worth $43,600 for a day of work. No, that's not what she gets paid! She auctioned herself off to be a personal assistant for a day as a fundraiser for PETA. EBay sponsored the auction, and after 42 bids the lucky winner paid $43,600.

The auction itself became quite the little hotbed of questions and criticisms, but Ingrid handled the discourse with a good sense of humor and a lot of facts. Click here to see the Ebay auction and read all 101 questions and answers.
