Larry Ray, a New York business man and former diplomat, faces a legal challenge from the SDNY after his business, which competed directly with the USG education system, earned up to $1,000,000 USD over approximately 9 years (archived, archived). Larry gave lectures, counseled students, and provided direction for troubled young women.
Students paid Ray varying amounts up to $500,000. Sarah Lawrence College, where Ray occasionally used campus facilities and recruited students, charges a tuition of $264,0001 for 4 years (archived).
At present, this figure adjusts upwards annually at a rate well over officially reported inflation figures. ↩
The linked pieces are fucking hysterical,
These are the richest kids, New York's "liberal elite" Sarah Lawrence alumni.
Not doing quite as well as 1980 sovoks. It's gonna be a loooong decade…
Put in that context I'm surprised they even published the stories.
