>Q: You're saying it's not unusual to pay somebody a bonus of over $100 million?

>A: I don't -- I don't think characterizing it as a bonus is correct. I think it's more like a start-up compensation, which would be more like equity. We have executives that are well compensated and certainly make a lot of money and so on.

(emphasis mine)

Even in context, this seems crazy! Is $100M+ really not far from the norm for non C-level non unicorn execs here?

Am I unknowingly on a forum of 8-9 digit zillionaires?

Yes, but most of us are temporarily embarrassed.

If you believe them, then I'd say "gullibility" is where you went wrong in life.

Everyone on HN drives a ferrari and has a supermodel partner too, you know!

I believe Larry Page is saying that you get compensation like being a C-level exec, but instead of having your own company you work at Google.
