1 - I still remember my boss in 1970 having a fit that the police were now making $10,000. a year. Our office was near the police station and he would often stand at the window and say "there goes another $10,000. a year guy".

I wasn't employed then, so I haven't a clue. I'm going with....
$15K - C
I hope this isn't a trick question, but Maundy Thursday is around Easter, so I'll guess that.

Yeah, well.
Big butter-and-egg-man is another good old-fashioned phrase, for a businessman from the hicks who would come to NY to spend his money, not wisely, usually.
10000 a year man is the phrase. Ron Paul and those who howl at fiat money would have something to say...
Maundy Money is for Maundy Thursday.

"Big butter and egg man" was one of my Irish grandfather's favorite phrases.
First time I ever heard it, I had to be about 9 or 10 and we were on the porch. He referred to one of the sports of the neighborhood as a big butter and egg man.
Because my grandfather spoke in a thick brogue, it just tickled me the way he said it.
