Worth How Much?


The final photograph of Michael Jackson may bring over $1 million for National Photo Group, the agency to which it belongs.

The whole staff of National will make money from this photo. Ben Evenstad, one of the co-founders of National, estimates the staff bonuses this year will be "six figures... if not, damn close."

In January this year, the paparazzo who took the photo, Christopher Weiss, had changed from being on commission at National to being on salary.

One image that all three editors chose independently of each other: Andrew Card informing President Bush that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center in New York.

The story, with excellent discussion, is here.
