Paris Hilton says she rakes in about $200 million in a year — despite the complete absence of a marketable skill.

Before you scratch your head in amazement, consider this:

“I went to Austria recently and got paid [$]1 million … just to wave at a crowd of people there. I had to say ‘hi’ and tell them why I loved Austria so much,” she said.

Asked why she loved Austria so much, she said: “Because they pay me [$]1 million to wave at crowds!”

Shrewd … very shrewd.
