#3 Ahhh yes, the Golden Parachute. $100,000 per person would be a bargain, but only if we cleared out the entire staff and demolished the building.

#4 One part of the plan calls for clearing out deadwood in the U.N. Secretariat with buyouts costing about $100,000 per person part of a process that Annan calls "investing in change."

There's over 30,000 people working for the UN. So at 100G's a whack to get rid of the "deadwood", I figure, what, 3 billion dollars "invested in change" "? No, this does not take Kojo's cut into account.
Of course, this also doesn't factor in what the score would be after they torch the place for the insurance...
