Internal editor Zoe Sottile is hoping to get something special in her stocking this year… looking at you, PrezBo.

According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, in 2016, our beloved and mysterious Prezbo made a cool $3,927,961. Meanwhile, Peter Salovey, the president of Yale, made a comparatively frugal $1,282,777. Bwog set out to figure out what exactly we could buy with the $2,645,184 difference.

  • 529,036 jumbo slices from Koronet’s
