What's with this Ben Stein thing?
 
Because it's free the evil part of me thinks he's selling something. Maybe I'm wrong.

Basically, he has developed a career without any talent what so ever. This is simply another case where if one becomes odd enough, it captures peoples interest.

I don't understand the question. What's free?

Ben Stein is a very wealthy and highly intelligent individual with a wide background, which includes movie acting, economics, trial lawyer, professor at several universities and a speech writer for Presidents Nixon and Ford. He has written many books and is a regular on Fox News commenting on economic matters.

His net worth is $20 million.

Again, I don't understand the question. What's free?

It is sold out, even the free tickets. the better tickets are $25 a person, dinner with Ben Stein was $212. We are happy we bbought out tickets in time. Their is a waiting list so if you still want to learn from Ben Stein, get your name on the waiting list.
