We Went to the Australian Open and Asked Everyone How Much Money They Make

Australia’s annual festival of… tennis… launched at the start of the year just like it always does: thousands of people, in Melbourne, watching two other people hit a ball at each other over a net. And what a scene all of that is / was / continues to be.

Ever the intrepid explorers of “other shit to talk about”, the VICE team scored some tickets for ourselves and decided to tag along and Ask The Audience a few questions. Mostly: What do you do for a living? And: How much do you make?

A plumber who makes more money than everyone.

A lucky guy whose girlfriend’s family bought his ticket.

And a lot of people who, for some reason, were all headed to Monash Uni this year. We’re still not sure of that coincidence.
