Do people get confused by Harper's Magazine and Harper's Bazaar? After all, the luxury goods industry is not so different from Halliburton — shameless, ubiquitous, and really fucking talented at charging more for less. So again, Anna and I are taking things to their (ill)logical end with our own "Harper's (Bazaar) Index", inspired by Harper's famous feature, which parses the world of big oil, big money, big politics and Big Pharma and puts it into easily-digested numerical form. After the jump, discover the alarmingly high percentage of rich people who pay for sex, where George Clooney's ex used to dance in Vegas, and what kind of statues Nicole Richie has in her living room among other things like, oh, statistics about Darfur and Barak Obama.
