The Greatest Investment Return on Earth


The Interpublic Group is one of the world's largest advertising agencies and is parent company of McCann.  OpenSecrets.org tells us that Interpublic invested about $800,000 in political bribes during the 2012 U.S. election cycle.  Add another $100,000 per year in non-election campaign style bribes and they are looking at an investment of almost one million dollars.

So what does Interpublic/McCann receive for these bribes?

Would you believe $565,128,853?

From an April 2013 U.S. Army press release:

               McCann World Group Inc., New York, N.Y., was awarded a modification to a previously awarded fixed-price-award-fee contract, with a maximum value of $192,114,076 for professional marketing and advertising services in support of personnel recruitment and retention programs throughout the Army.  The cumulative total face value of this contract is now $565,128,853.   

IPG investors and executives are getting a return on their money of 565-fold in just twelve months.

The U.S. Department of Defense is providing their favored investors with the greatest investment return on Earth.
