Waddya bet Michael Rao won't stop with four?

Rao was recently selected to the presidency of Virginia Commonwealth University. He's just 42, and what is remarkable is that this will be his fourth gig running a university. 

He comes to the Richmond campus from Central Michigan, where he is currently the president. Before that, he led a Montana State University campus and Mission College, which is in California.

He'll earn more than $488,000 in total compensation. Yes, you read that right. 

Here's the story.
