Can someone tell me what is wrong with this picture? And how did he get a 421 job that pays 1500 dollars per day?

Bye bye
Let me help you out JV by pointing out something you seem to be missing in your understanding of the aviation industry.

The money you can demand and get is in direct relationship to the skills you have to offer.

There are tens of thousands of airplane drivers around the world, most of them are cookie cutter qualified drivers who get paid as little as the companies can hire them for.

There are some who are able to offer a far higher level of skills and ability to do difficult tasks and they are able to ask for and get paid a much higher rate than the cookie cutter skills limited pilots.

Fifteen hundred dollars a day is good pay but if you have the skills that a given employer needs making double that is not only easy but you would be a fool to work for less.

I hope that answers your question so Clunkdriver does not have to bother responding?
