Salaries like these are a stunt in the _vast_ majority of cases. There's so few people that could ever be worth that kind of money that it's pretty clearly just the PR department throwing this at the wall for news. Blatant attention grabs don't often get praise from engineers.

In tech, engineers that aren't paying at least some attention to the compensation of their peers will not fare well IMO. No one wants you to undervalue yourself more than the org underpaying you to undervalue yourself. I'm for open compensation personally, but since we can't have that lest there be madness or something, make sure your grass is sufficiently watered to remain green.
