It's lower than total comp of senior engineers in the bay area, just to give a point of reference.

It's about twice the salary of the Nordic prime ministers (not combined though) as another point of reference

Is the PM's salary before- or after-tax? Do they get free housing as the prime minister? How's the housing market in their cities? In SF, where Wikipedia is based, it's completely whack. What else does a PM get? Household staff, personal assistants, drivers etc?

The executives don't live in Norway, they live in the bay area; hence my (relevant) particular point of reference.

In that case, maybe they should only ask for donations from people in the bay area.

Which seems to be pretty problematic.
