Karen, A person's salary is only a portion of the monies and benefits he receives from his position as CEO. In fact, the salary is usually downgraded due to the fact that it is taxed.I'll bet his private plane was bought by the company and expensed out.................just one example of the many fringe benefits which are numerous. Also, his family members could also be on the payroll in some way. His wife may be listed as having holdings in some way or another. The legal system is set up in a manner that enables the wealthy to play by a different set of rules.................that's why they contribute to politicians so heavily............but then again it's just free speech..LOL...yeah right!! Pat

Eisner: $12.5 million AND there would be perks as pat mentioned such as private plane. Still, over the long term, salaries for US CEO's has been higher than those in Europe and perhaps Asia as well. Thanks for the information, Karen! I hear you have 8.3% unemployment rate in Oregon a bit higher than our 8%
