So are you getting a salary of $2.5m (from a company that you do not own), or are the CEO/owner? I'm guessing this is a CEO salary in any case?

Yes, I work at a very large public tech company now (40,000+ employees). I'm a senior executive in the company but two levels below CEO.

I would guess:

  4000 people make > $500,000 / year
  1000 people make > $1,000,000 / year
  250 people make > $2,000,000 / year
  50 people make > $4,000,000 / year
  ~7 people make > $8,000,000 / year (the executive team)
This includes stock and cash and bonus. All in.
