I was just going through some prior SEC filings. This paragraph strikes me as funny: " Other Compensation. The Company pays bonuses to its executive officers only under special circumstances. In 1997, the Company hired several executive officers and paid each of them signing bonuses to encourage them to join the Company and to compensate them for relocation expenses. Chief Executive Officer Compensation. Mr. Bezos received $79,197 in cash compensation from the Company during 1997. Mr. Bezos' compensation was considerably less than would have been warranted by the Company's performance during 1997 and Mr. Bezos' very significant contribution to that performance as President and Chief Executive Officer. However, due to Mr. Bezos' substantial ownership in the Company (approximately 41%), the Company did not provide him with additional compensation during 1997."
