The ugly truth, according to economics professors Daniel Hamermesh of the University of Texas and Jeff Biddle of Michigan State University, is that plain people earn 5 percent to 10 percent less than people of average looks, who in turn earn 3 percent to 8 percent less than those deemed good-looking.
Size matters, too. A study released last year by two professors at the University of Florida and University of North Carolina found that tall people earn considerably more money throughout their careers than their shorter co-workers, with each inch adding about $789 a year in pay.
So considering that BHW is a grouping of some of the best & brightest, not to mention some very high earners ( I have to LOL every time I see somebody on here post a picture of them counting a stack of twenties, though ) its no surprise really that the majority of us are also, well - really really good looking too.
It's a little sad to know that all us attractive people are stuck spending so much time behind a computer screen (for the most part) instead of out getting ogled by strangers on the street.
