Walton Family Learns What Money Can't Buy
posted on: Wednesday, October 19, 2005
The Associated Press today reports that Wal-Mart heiress Elizabeth Paige Laurie, granddaughter of the founder of Wal-Mart, has returned her undergraduate degree from the University of Southern California. It seems one of her college roommates was doing the bulk of Laurie's college assignments for most of her time at the University. Laurie paid her roommate $20,000 for her services.
The Associated Press also reports that "after the homework allegations surfaced last November, the University of Missouri removed Laurie's name from a sports arena named for her." Her parents received naming rights for the arena after donating $25 million for its construction.
Seems like Laurie's roommate should have charged a bit more, doesn't it?
