There is a whole team that does the rock and roll marathon that works year round and each member of that team makes close to the figures. Hell, Taco Bell is now giving their managers 100k.year. If 100k/year offends someone, that someone is probably doing a much easier job, not saving much, and is just projecting their own failures.

Surfing Madonna doesn't solicit donations from the public. 99% of their raised funds aren't tax deductible because people are receiving a product/service. The IRS states that you cannot receive a product or service with your donation.
