Seems this guy isn't looking to FIRE anytime soon...
Best job in Brazil? Painting nude Carnival models -- chicagotribune.comRIO DE JANEIRO -- Betto Almeida is the Mr. Lucky of Rio's Carnival.
The 36-year-old artist awakes at 8 a.m. Has a little breakfast. Survives a commute through the city's tough traffic. Arrives at the office by 11.
Then he spends hours painting the bodies of gorgeous women -- and earning as much as $2,000 a day.
"You wouldn't believe how many applications I get for an assistant," Almeida deadpanned, never taking his eyes from his work as he brushed bright orange paint on the stomach of a model in his glass-enclosed studio under the grandstands at the Sambadrome, where Rio's Carnival parades ended Tuesday at dawn.
"But it's hard work, man. I take my job seriously."
