Maria Bartiromo’s Half Million Dollar Pay Day

By John Carney

CNBC anchor Maria Bartiromo has sold a book about ‘sucess’ for an advance several knowledgable sources said was approximately $500,000, according to Leon Neyfakh of the New York Observer.
This would be Maria’s second book. Her first, Use the News: How to Separate the Noise from the Investment Nuggets and Make Money in Any Economy, came out in 2002. Earlier this year, her CNBC colleague Charlie Gasparino published King of the Club, a book detailing the rise and fall of former New York Stock Exchange head Dick Grasso.

    I thought she was going to call her book “How to fuck a guy from Citigroup (and a whole lot of others) for a story”

    Is that ‘sucess’ with one c? Is that a Mariaism?

    Publishing industry works like Hollywood. You can make any crap movie you want as long as Nick Cage is the star, and it’ll make money.
    Same here. Names sell books.

    Does the first step to “success” include getting down on one’s knees on the NYSE trading floor?

    “Well, the folks over at dealbreaker.com are guessing anal but I’m not so sure. My guess is oral because anything other and the guy would have to have a death wish.”
    Montenegro, please!
    Bareback anal while choking her out.
    Maybe even donkey punches, those sure as fuck “aren’t safe.”
