Grey’s co-star Katherine Heigl makes $200,000 per episode of Grey’s Anatomy — that’s $4.4 million per 22-episode season (and that doesn’t count all the millions she makes from movies). Why she complained about her salary last season, I wish I knew. I could be VERY happy on just $200,000 a YEAR!

Here’s what I would do if Heigl’s $4.4 million were mine (these are not in any order):

• Pay off all my old debts — credit cards, student loans, car loans, etc.

• Set up my parents, for life — pay off their debts, build them new cars and a house and set up a fund for them to live on in retirement. I’d also set up a fund to get my baby sister through college.

• Build my own dream house in my dream spot here in East Texas — complete with a home theater, an indoor/outdoor cat room, indoor pool, a guesthouse in back and the greatest kitchen known to man!

• Buy myself a Mustang convertible – for the weekends, of course.

• Fund the completion of my local animal shelter and finance its spay/neuter clinic.

• Go on a two-week (or longer) vacation every year, no matter what.

• Quit my newspaper job and work at home as a writer — blogging about Grey’s and writing the ultimate novel.

• Buy all my favorite television shows on DVD — Grey’s, Smallville, CSI: Miami, and ER, to name a few — and watch them in my home theater at my dream house.

• Spend a day on the set of Grey’s, watch the filming and meet the cast.

• Donate funds for my own “school of journalism” at the university of my choice.

As for the rest, I’d put it away for a rainy day and live out the remainder of my life comfortably.

You’re a fortunate lady, Katherine Heigl. I just wonder if you appreciate how much.
