The Russell Simmons Stimulus Package



Not that I really care but I've got wealth discrepancy on the mind. So Mr. Simmons, who started Def Jam with Rick Rubin way back when and has since gone on to make mad cash slingin' all things hip hop, split with his wife. So what, right? Well he's cutting a $40,000 check/month in child support until they're 19 1/2. His kids are 8 and 5 respectively, so around $850,000 total. What recession, eh Mr. Simmons?
