Calcutta - Mother Teresa agreed to a new contract today that will pay her a hundred and three million dollars over the next eight years. The announcement was made this morning at the Missionaries of Charity South Side offices. Mother Teresa was joined by Pope Benedict the XVI, and her agents. “This is about being a Member of the Missionaries of Charity for as long as I can be,” she said. “I didn’t want to go anywhere.”Pope Benedict XVI said, “She’s the face of the Missionaries of Charity franchise. She’s always going to be a member of the Missionaries of Charity.”
The contract, which includes a twenty-six million dollar signing bonus, makes her the highest paid humanitarian in the world. Dr. Albert Schweitzer, who has devoted his life to improving the health of impoverished Africans, signed a ten-year deal that pays him ninety-five million dollars last month.
“I’m not going to lie to you, it was important to my client to be known as the highest-paid humanitarian in the world, said Bruce Tollner, the agent for Mother Teresa. “Now that this is done, Mother can get back to doing what she does best: bringing Gods love to millions of downtrodden people dwelling in the bowels of this city.” Mother Teresa expressed her gratitude to the Pope, and to her agents. “I’m glad we were able to get this deal done. To be able to finish my career in the city where I started, working for these great, suffering multitudes, is really special.”
