Interesting article in today’s New York Times about Bonnie Brown, who joined Google in 2000 as a part-time masseuse for $450 a week (to massage the engineers’ necks and backs) and has now retired thanks to the stock options that she received. She cashed in most of her options in 2005 and became a multi-millionaire. She held to a few and is now enjoying the benefits of investors’ continued love affair with all things Google.

That’s one way to make a million bucks.
