Let's not ignore the tax implications on one's salary. Options probably aren't taxed until they are exercised (I dunno, I work for a not-for-profit). Without some *legally* creative financing, these guys and gals would be handing 33% or more of their salaries right back to the government.

Well maybe you could all make the big bucks too if you weren't using company time to FIND OUT OTHER PEOPLE'S SALARIES!

Just kidding, this is cool (and depressing):

William C. Foote
Chairman, President and CEO 2001 $880,417 $648,875 $1,529,292

P Jack O'Bryan
Vice Chairman 1999 $496,667 $460,950 $957,617

Harold E Pendexter
Senior Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer (retired Jan. 1, 2000) 1999 $362,500 $280,411 $642,911

Arthur G Leisten
Senior Vice President and General Counsel 1999 $342,500 $265,046 $607,546

Richard H. Fleming
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer 2001 $431,250 $284,375 $715,625

John H. Meister
Former SVP, President, Building Systems 2001 $370,626 $237,500 $608,126

Edward M. Bosowski

Stanley L. Ferguson

That's a godamn lot of money being spent on just a few people! I assume they are worth it.
 
i was looking for a site that detailed stock/option ownership for company officers and found this (long) passage at BusinessWeek:

A similar gargantuan option grant is how Ellison managed his $706 million miracle last year. In June, 1999, with Oracle stock trading at about $6, he agreed to trade four years of his salary and bonus in return for 10 million options, an almost unheard-of stockpile that escalated in value over the next 16 months as the stock hit a high of $46 in September, 2000. Proponents say that options align the chief executive's interests with those of shareholders, but that's not the way it worked at Oracle. By 2001, with the tech bubble bursting, Oracle stock was in a free fall. Rather than sit tight in a show of confidence, Ellison sold 29 million shares in a single week in January, flooding the market when investors already were jittery. He exercised 23 million options the same week for a gain of more than $706 million.

(there was more interesting stuff, but not really relavent to the thread)


so apparently the record for Larry ($0 salary and bonus) is correct.

i was going to ask some other questions before i saw the other hyperlink bar on the company pages:
Executive Compensation Summary | Other Compensation | FYE Options | Option Exercises | Help

thanks!
 
Unreal....I work for Food Lion and this CEO made nearly a million bucks in 99.And they say we can only have a 30% raise once a year....pfft.

2nd year $41,700!
3rd year $54,200!
4th year $70,480!

5th year of driving that Hi-Lo butt wasted and one wife/two kids later you will be making
$91,624!!

if u want to know how much your CEO makes, just multiply your salary by 200 and there u have it. :|

The actual formula is to determine which high profile professional athlete was most recently arrested for various felonies, and/or sent to drug rehab for at least the 3rd time. Find out the annual salary of this semi-literate criminal/addict, whose sole talent is the ability to put a ball through a hoop (or some similarly impressive feat).

Divide by 4, and you have what the CEO makes.

(I believe there's a similar formula involving rap artists.)


Haha... hey! it's hard work making Gatorade commercials, beating your girlfriend, and coming up with words that rhyme with "Escalade".

Bling!

hAH the bankrupt company I work for that was a spinoff of Enron paid each of its 8 or so execs between $300 000 and $700 000 while the company lost money and died. I love capitalism, but our corporate system is truly messed up. People only buy stocks in home they can resell them to someone else for more. You used to buy stocks to own the company and share in its profits. Now many companies dont have profits, and those that do don't even pay them out to their owners!!! (dividends) .. Its all a big scam.. beware (from a Finance graduate) 😉

The salary-portion is just chump-change to these guys. The real money is in misrepresenting revenue to bolster "confidence" [cough-Dick Cheney-cough-Kenneth Ley] or selling all your stock right before it tanks based on inside-information [cough-Martha Stewart-cough-George W. Bush]

Exercising your options is what rakes in the cash, well that and getting the most out of a $1.35 trillion tax cut. Sure am feeling flush with that $300 I got back
 
A while back C|net had a wealth meter that would show you how much company CEO's made and lost everyday from stocks, but it appears to have been purged.

err MS i found amusing...Bill Gates makes $666,754

for some reason this figure is quite difficult to believe.

since my company's ceo is making 500,000 a year...
 
Why are people so confused by Gates' salary?

1. He is no longer the CEO. He stepped down.

2. Why can't people make more than him? He has stock options I'm sure. Also some people take profits and reinvest it into the company rather than pay themselves. Those are just two possibilities.
