Washington Post subscription costs $170 a year, so 42.5 million dollars a year. Nice. I mean he probably doesn't even realize such a tiny sum, but you could buy a lot of candy for this amount of money.

That is an insane amount to pay for a newspaper subscription considering you can pay a quarter for a paper out of those little boxes.

What little boxes? I haven't seen a newspaper vending machine in years. They still have those?

I think the WP print edition costs $3 for normal editions and $5 on Sundays. Buying it every day in the stands would cost you more than $1000.
