60,000 Danish Kroner - I was in Copenhagen in 2001 providing my consultancy services for nine months, it all went pear shaped in September as the yankee company closed ALL its European offices in the two weeks that followed the attack on New York.

A friend, in his first post-trainee year at Salomon Bros in the mid-80s, got a USD500K bonus (plus, presumably, 1/52nd of his base) one week. He had realized that the investment bankers with whom he worked were afraid of using the bank's new Lotus 123 software and, since they wouldn't let him speak at meetings or do anything more substantial than fetching coffee, he volunteered to stay behind every night and input numbers for their dealbooks. Half a million for, essentially, inventing the job of spreadsheet monkey. My number? Fuck you - that's between me and my headhunter, as God intended. And I earned it by persuading reasonable men to make unwise decisions.

I once gave birth twice in one day and got GBP26k in benefits on the spot each time. I sold my story to the Daily Mail who paid me 10k, mainly 'cause I'm a bloke and foreign and probably illegal.
