MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

whoa he's loaded

lucky man

...oh and did we mention that he owns Disney too?

Loaded? hmm yep - i'd say so.

Z

How does the big Steve man put food in Steve Jr.'s mouth on only $1 a year? The malaysian chick who made my shoes makes more than that in a single month.

**Other executives of "corporate" "America" take notice!!**

Steve Jobs dosn't need a large salary! Its all recycled back into the company!

Something none of you would ever do!

and worth every penny...

I wonder if he gets a paycheck every other week like everyone else. It would be for like less the 2 cents per check. I'd love to see how they deduct federal, state and social security tax lol.

Idiotic

He took $1.

I gave away billions.

Shut the hell up, Mac bitches.

Signed,
The Bill...


Oh I'm just a Bill up on Capitol Hill...

Why is this "news". Beyond the $1 he's received (definitely deserved) many perks - let's put it this way - he ain't going to be starving any time soon.

Who cares? After tax he would actualy take home only 70 cents.

Does anyone know how much Disney is paying him?

Steve can work for me any day. Hell I'd pay him 50 bucks a year unless someone can better my offer.

Loooong wait for ShortHorn:
Does anyone know how much Disney is paying him?

As a share holder of about 7% of Disney, he would then earn 7% of the stock's performance, right?

I know that he is on their board, but is he an actual employee?

MW: amount. How fitting.

As I understand it, he collects his dollar-per-year salary so that he can officially be on Apple's payroll and, thus, get health coverage.

I assume Apple has a pretty good health plan...

I think it's time they double his salary!

He must shop at the 99¢ Store.

But what percentage of his salary went into his Employee Stock Purchase Program?

I bet he eats all his meals in the Apple cafeteria or something.

For each cent he's been payed he's added about a billion dollars to the value of Apple. I doubt there is any CEO in history that could match that achievement...

And as for the comment above that he is 'lucky'.. well, you can figure whether that's correct or not for yourself..

BUY Microsoft lol

Apple is breaking the law!!!! It's not right to deny employees the minimum wage.

Evil evil Apple. Down with them, I say!!!

a very clever move.....

hes getting payed in stocks and options.... its only a tax thing. Hes paying far less taxes on his stocks as on a huge salary...

and then... who wants to sell AAPL shares anyways (except the last months....:-(

and it makes him look like a hero too......very clever indeed

It's just a stunt. He milks the company like every other CEO. He puts this $1 salary up there to get good press but rakes in big bucks in other ways. He's all about showmanship.

Now we know why iTunes songs are only 99 cents, he gets change back from the single song purchase he makes each year.

I say double his pay so he can buy a video if he wants too.

Peter: More specifically, health coverage for his family and himself.

MW: one, as in, I'd buy THAT for a dollar!

" . . . so he can buy a video if he wants too."

I'll bet if he asks real nicely, the people that makes those videos will burn a special copy just for him.

Dave H: "minimum wage" LOL!

Just in case, Jobs has a job lined up in Malaysia making shoes for Nike. They offered him three times his annual salary. Sweet.

Ya think THAT'S why he's always wearing the same black turtleneck and jeans?

He is eligible for food stamps.

Just out of curiosity. If his income is $1 and rest is options/stock sales, he only pays maximum rate on $1 and capital gain tax on the sales of stocks (something like 10% for federal tax)? Sounds like very good deal for Apple and SJ. Less tax more money in pocket. I'm surprised other CEOs are not doing same thing.

OzzysCross101,

Dream on... Steve is not being altruistic by any means. He's a shrewd businessman. The $1 is more symbolic than anything. Remember SJ's plane?

No CEO ever needs such a large salary. They are attracted to a company by the potential of making large sums of money.

s,

More CEOs are doing the same thing now that stock options are being expensed. And some are taking in big salaries, large bonuses that dwarf salary, receiving restricted stock in addition to the 5% or more ownership stake they have in the company and previous stock options with extraordinarly low strike prices and accelerated vesting.

As Mel Brooks said, "It's good to be the king!"

Taking one dollar for your salary is the equivalent of coming up to the plate and pointing out to right-center field and then jacking one out of the park for a walk-off homerun. Total confidence in his work. Total balls..

"For each cent he's been payed he's added about a billion dollars to the value of Apple."

Then they should definitely double his salary!

"It's just a stunt. He milks the company like every other CEO. He puts this $1 salary up there to get good press but rakes in big bucks in other ways."

Maybe but, he only gets paid if Apple succeeds. If he doesn't do an "Insanely Great" job, he gets nothing. How many of the "every other CEO's" can you say that applies to?
