that increase in value is peanuts compared to Benioff's net worth of 4.2 billion https://www.google.com/?ion=1&espv=2#q=benioff%20net%20worth

Irrelevant. On a personal level, he didn't get to his current net worth by not seeking out lucrative deals. It's also irrelevant from the legal perspective (see Martha Stewart).

Martha Stewart went to jail for lying about something. Also, don't confuse strict liability torts with those that require negligence or intent to harm. But certainly if a strict liability statute _is_ violated, you're right that it doesn't matter if it was "just a little bit".
