Tansen, the most famous singer in India's history, for a single concert at the court of Emperor Akbar the Great, was paid the fantastic fee of $3,245,000. The Chamberlain of King Philip I of France offered the substitute for his master when the king was unable to fulfill a vow to travel to the tomb of Christ in Jerusalem. The substitute made the pilgrimage on foot, except while crossing the sea, never removed his armor, both coming and going, and carried a lighted candle all the way. The round trip took a year, and the grateful king rewarded the iron-constituted pilgrim and his descendants with eternal freedom from taxes. Believe It or Not!
