Turns out that Chris Rock is selling more tickets than ever after the Oscars incident with Will Smith.  According to Variety, Chris Rock's tour ticket prices have gone up 800% since "the slap," and there are more opportunities sure to follow.  As a finance professor, this news led me down a rabbit hole of thoughts regarding what it means for a black man to be a "boss" vs one who is beholden to the rules of the establishment.  After breaking down all of this with simple logic, I've concluded that both Chris Rock and Will Smith generated over $100 million in economic opportunity by creating one of the greatest moments in television history.  I spoke about this today on The Black Financial Channel.  You can take a listen here.
