"I thought that was all he was making too, but Yahoo has him listed at $356,000 now. Nonetheless, this is still pretty low compared to what the top brass at Intel and many other companies make. " These kinds of numbers are synthetic, P.R. stunt, numbers. Does it really mean anything when Steve Jobs is being paid $1 a year at Apple? Would Intel be a better company if Craig Barrett reduced his salary to a similar token level (but had options on 15 million shares)? It's like Gordon Moore. Nobody could doubt his dedication to Intel, based on his co-founding, based on his vision, and based on his 10% outright ownership of all of the shares. Clearly any salary he was given would be utterly lost in the noise. Ditto for Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, and a bunch of others. Calls to cut the salaries of Silicon Valley execs to levels barely above that of their employees three levels below them are just silly. --Tim May
