"A review of total pay from 2000 through 2002 for 243 CEOs running companies
with 2002 revenue of $5 billion or more also shows that total pay ranged
from a low of $336,000 a year received by Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s Warren
Buffett to $219 million a year for Steve Jobs of Apple Computer Inc. "
So? It's his company. He co-founded it. Without Jobs, Apple wouldn't
exist. Without Jobs' return, Apple would not be the company it is today.
He has, IMO, earned every penny he makes, no matter how little he really
does now, because it is his baby.
If I'd done it, I'd hardly be saying 'no, don't give me that much
money'.
