You wrote Yet here you are making sick jokes and comparing Sander's to Bin Laden. The parallels are identical. O'Sanders bin Laden is leading a Jihad on Intel and all you AMD investors are the suicide cannon fodder - with Athlons strapped to your chest. Meanwhile: Sanders usually ranks among the very highest-paid executives in the Bay Area, which rubs some people the wrong way. Compensation expert Graef "Bud" Crystal has described Sanders as "consistently overpaid." The options packages Sanders has received from AMD's board of directors have been legendary, even in an era when huge CEO options awards have become standard practice. Last year he received nearly $18 million worth, as well as some $7 million in non-option pay. His compensation, which Sanders says is hard-earned and performance-based, makes it possible to indulge his flair for fine living. THE FINER THINGS He has maintained a Beverly Hills office since 1979, commuting between his Bel Air home and his house on Russian Hill in San Francisco. He now has four homes, including one in Aspen, Colo., and beach home in Southern California. He admitted that he currently owns "about 12 cars," including two Bentleys, a couple of Mercedes-Benzes and a BMW sport-utility vehicle. "I like living in nice houses. I like driving nice cars. I like wearing nice clothes. I like eating good food. I like getting good seats at the theater. I like to have a good seat at the ballet. I'm blessed. I've worked hard. I've earned my money. . . . I'm an American dream kind of guy. "But I'm not what my cars are. My view is that content is king, and I think if I have any celebrity, it's because of what I say and what I do, because they're meaningful and they resonate with people."
