Over at Google Answers, someone asked about Paul Krugman's personal life, in a transparent search for dirt:

I would like to acquire as much information as possible about the personal and professional life of Paul Krugman, the Princeton economics professor who writes a column for the New York Times. For example, it is publicly known that he was a paid consultant to Enron — what other consulting, advisory or employment arragements has he had with other companies or organizations? What is known about his family — who were his parents, other relatives; is he married, children? What is his lifestyle like — what is is compensation at the New York Times (salary, options, bonus, whatever) and at Princeton (salary, retirement, whatever). How about royalties from books, speaking engagements, and so on? What kind of house does he live in? What kind of car does he drive? Is anything known about his personal life (hobbies, sports, sexual orientation, etc)? How about his career — he's taught at quite a few colleges, why has he moved around so much? Were there any problems? I will pay $100 for this as a starting point

Krugman himself answered at length and solicited the $100.

We also have two cats; I withhold their names to protect their privacy.
