>> Lee Iaccoco did it when the government bailed out Chrysler in the early 1980s. And it didn't start with him. I've known many, many CEOs who worked for zero. While you aren't permitted by the IRS to do so in small corporation, when a closely held corporation has a bad year and the CEO is also the principal shareholder, there really isn't much choice. I've known a good number who went years without drawing a salary. When you're self-employed you do what you have to do sometimes.
