Danielle Kurtzleben looked at how our looks affect our financial prospects:

• Over the course of a lifetime a good looking person makes about $230,000 more than others.
• The gap is smaller for women than for men. This may be because only prettier women are incentivized to go out and work while others choose to stay at home.
• More attractive CEOs have companies with higher stock market valuations.
• Each additional inch of height is worth $790 a year in the labour market.
• It’s not all good news. Attractive women have some problems getting masculine jobs.
