    You think the $37BN is interest?

    What part of 'much of it' didn't you understand? Do you think none of the 37 billion is interest?

    If it's shaped like a search bubble, yes.

    Because presumably he is being paid by Apple's british subsidiary? Since he is buying $20MM houses all over the world (one in SF, one in London), I assume he is not being stiffed too badly.
    a $20m London house? Since when?

    Basic grammar, people.  (I know that "none is" sounds weird, but what can you do.  Think of is as "not one" then you'll get it right.)



     


    Really that all you could contribute to this discussion. Again we are back in school with this spell and grammar check. Who cares, everyone understood the   article.


    As for the payouts, good for these guys, especially Mike, he worked very hard for Apple.

    Edit: The above reply does have grammar mistakes, but what the hell you get gist of my comments.

    Glad that the anti-capitalism "these salaries aren't fair" crowd haven't pounced on this thread.
    It may be 'fair', but is it 'right'? You don't have to be anti capitalist not to be blinkered by the doctrine.

    No, I don't. Don't flatter yourself.

    I am just bemused by all your anger, and marveling at the fact that you haven't been banned yet. :-)

    Its not uncommon to see senior sales executives make more than the presidents of the companies. Especially in the old days. A book many years ago, ghost written by J Paul Getty, slammed Xerox for recently cutting the pay of their sales force. (those of us around in the 70's in the business world, heard about the lavish trips, parties, and pay, of the top Xerox salesmen) Plus, their secret games of picking up girls using their newfound Xerox selling skills courses. They lowered the pay of the sales force, because the execs were jealous of the higher pay. Getty said (I paraphrase), you NEVER pay your salesmen too much. When they are making too much money, that means your profits are going up and up! He told Xerox, by cutting their sales salarys and bonuses, they were going to lose biz. Thats exactly what happened. Ex Xerox superstars went and cut deals for Ricoh, and cannon to come in to the US. We all know how that affected the copying business for years.
