They don't pay CEOs very well in Genoa City, do
they?
Take David Chow - please. He is the co-CEO of Jabot
Cosmetics and can't even make a dent in his gambling
debt. How much do you think the CEO of Revlon makes?
Let's be conservative and guess one million a year.
That works out to about 38 thousand dollars every
two weeks. I don't know how much it costs to live at
the Genoa City athletic club or how much his car
payments are, but I hope it's far less than 76K a
month.
Granted the guy is obviously a gold digging,
scheming liar who's after Nikki for her money, but
still. First he was a big corporate executive at
Granville global who migrated to campaign management
and then became a bigwig with Clear Springs. Now
he's co-CEO of Jabot and still doesn't even have
pocket change. Meanwhile people who work at coffee
shops are living the high life in pricey condos.
Nicholas was also a co-CEO, at Newman Enterprises,
and doesn't have enough money to fix the electricity
in the warehouse he bought by borrowing against his
trust fund. And he doesn't even pay rent. Where did
his paychecks go? Remind me never to take a job in
this town, unless it's working at the coffee shop.
Who else wants to see a DNA test performed on Adam
to prove he's Victor and Hope's son? This guy has
neither the warmth nor depth of Hope, nor the
presence or forcefulness of Victor. I appreciate the
conflict the character brings to the show but he's
about as interesting as un-buttered toast so far. He
looks like he's about Kevin and Daniel's age and
he's hitting on Phyllis like he's one of the big
boys. Maybe they should have gone for someone a
little older.
He's certainly the opposite of his alleged father
when it comes to women. Not that Victor can hit on
women twice his age since they'd all be dead. But
Victor only goes for women who are young enough to
be his daughter and Sabrina seems to be his next
conquest. They, too, are total opposites. Primarily
because she enunciates so clearly. Forget about her
being his art consultant, maybe she can become his
translator.
Victor says "mumble mumble mumble" and Sabrina
translates "Victor says he'd like to take us out to
dinner." Victor says "mumble mumble mumble" and
Sabrina translates "Victor says his pants are too
tight. Victor says "mumble mumble mumble" and
Sabrina translates "Oh, sorry, Victor says his
CLIENTS are RIGHT. Sometimes even I have trouble."
And where exactly is this priceless art collection
Victor is said to possess? Sabrina had to go to
Newman Enterprises to see it. I hope there's a vault
or something there. The way people pop in and out of
that place with security nowhere to be found I'd
think half the Monets and DiVincis would have been
swiped by now.
At least Adam is calling his siblings out on their
work ethic. Neither of them spent a day in college
and spend most of their time drinking coffee or
having sex in the break room. Of course they both
went from being five years old to 18 in about a week
so it's not exactly their fault. The more time Adam
spends in Genoa City the more likely he is to wind
up the same as them. The lure of the break room
seems impossible to resist.
