Talk:Charles Russell, Baron Russell of Killowen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] His income
What does;
- "The increasing demand for his services may be judged by his fees which averaged $15,000 a year from 1862-1872, $50,000 in the next decade, $80,000 in the third, and in 1893-1894, his last year of practice, reached $150,000"
mean?
If he was working in London why was he paid in dollars? Is this his pound salary converted to dollars, whose dollars, at the 1894 rate, 2005 rate?
If he was earning £150,000 in 1894 this is over £11 million in 2005 values. Likewise, if his salary in 1894 was equivalent to £150,000 today, he was only earning £2,000 in 1894. Avalon 02:34, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
