Smart guy, good job

Rico says he loves the guy and hates the guy, and for the same reasons. He writes incredibly well (far better than we deserve), and he gets paid to do a job which, by anyone's standards, is pretty cushy:
I write only twice a week, and only 740 words each time... I decide where to travel and when. And I have total editorial freedom to take whatever stance I want on an issue... I have total freedom, and an almost unlimited budget, to explore.
Rico says that, for a writer, it don't get any better than that. Figuring an annual salary of at least $100,000 (and he's worth that, surely), that's more than a buck a word, every word. Rico would take that job (not that it's being offered) in a heartbeat...
