That is certainly crazy compensation for someone who was fired after 15 months. It was so crazy that shareholders actually sued the company for authorizing it.

> PS: I know it seems crazy but CXX jobs other than CEO can really make ~85million per year. Often because they could be the CEO of another company.

$85m a year would be top 5 CEO and that top 5 typically changes based on who got a big grant that year. It's certainly not typical compensation. In fact he was the highest paid COO in the country.

Depends on how you calculate it. CEO's want to minimize taxed income so they play a lot of accounting games. The ever popular 1$ salary is often very expensive on net.

I think everyone here is discussing total compensation.

Does that include use of a company jet and a personal assistant for non work items? However, I am more thinking of stock options. Jobs for example was given options that would have been worth 10 billion with a B when they vested. Sure short term options have a market price but options you can exercise in 10 years are hard to come by.

Presumably you should be generating that much of value. It's crazy because I'm pretty sure a single person at Yahoo isn't generating $108m worth of value.
