i know the salary thing is right, i dont know about the stock thing, but he does get quite a happy bonus per year. i think one year he got like 990 million dollars or something and another year he got a G5 jet.

As far as I know he was given a fe million stock options along with that jet....of course at the time they were worth $100 each (doh!!!!)

Actually when he became CEO and stop calling himself iCEO he received 10,000,000 shares and a jet which he has to pay for maintaining it.

A funny story is that he wanted a helicopter for a while so it would be easy for him to get to Pixar and that the people in Palo Alto made sure that was not going to happen.

The only reason he has money in the bank not only securities is because his wife (barbie) wanted more cash around the house.

When you have a beautiful wife you have to make sure she is happy with lots of money.

who is his wife and are there pictures he he

Monique · Jun 13, 2001, 06:05 PM

Her name is Laurene Powell; she is about a size 8, very tan, she is a dancer, she has big breast and she is not the brightest person in the world, she is also blonde and has very long hair.

There is a picture of her in Time magazine but I do not remember the date or the year.

Dancer eh? Jobs is really a true nerd going after a hot chick, yet another reason that I want to be him

He owns A LOT of stock in Apple (more than anyone else?) and still earns $1 a year I believe. In the past few years he's gotten a few one-time bonuses (VERY LARGE) and a jet.

Not really.

The Apple Board budgeted some mucho $$$ for operating and maintence costs.

So G4ME you want to be him and I want to be her and be in his arms at least once in a while; not marry him but be with him talking with him and laugh with him.

Last year the Apple shareholders transcript went something as follows (approx values, as I don't remember exactly):

Avie Tevanian (Head of Software Engineering) Salary: $800,000 Bonus: $200,000
Fred Anderson (Chief Financial Officer and Vice President) Salary: $900,000 Bonus: $250,000
Steve Jobs (Chief Executive Officer) Salary: $1 Bonus: $90,000,000

I'm 100% sure the last line is right, but the first two are approximate, give or take a few hundred thousand.

IMO, having a salary of $1 and getting a $90 million bonus is so much better than having a $90 million salary. You'll make a little less money, but it's just too cool.

Hm... dunno about that... bonus' are taxed differently to the normal salary, right? I think he'd come out better off...

gorgonzola · Jun 14, 2001, 05:43 PM

Well, I meant over the years. I'm assuming he doesn't get a $90,000,000 bonus every year!

Does he?

If so ... that man is truly insane.

DoctorGonzo · Jun 14, 2001, 11:43 PM

There were a number of diffrent elements to the bonus last year. Added alltogether, it was the largest single bonus any executive has ever recieved.

Then, the stock took a nosedive and Apple was losing money.

I think they kinda jinxed themselves with that one.

Whow 90,000,000 she is so lucky to be married to him.

When she was at the university she made sure that during his speech to the student body he would only see her. So, she had all the first row to herself and was wearing a very short dress and she made sure that he would be distracted with what she was doing.

Someone said that she is hot well I do not know but because of what she did many years ago she is now worth at least 90 millions dollars.
