Apparently, one really is the loneliest number. How else can you explain Jobs getting so little compensation despite so much success? He only drew $14.6 million in 2007 as compared with the mind boggling $646 million. Clearly, nearly $15 mil is nothing to sneeze at, but that over a half billion dollar difference.
He’s now number 11 on the list of top compensated tech CEOs behind Larry Ellison (Oracle), John Chambers (Cisco), and Jen-Hsun Huang (Nvidia). The difference this past year is most likely Jobs can derive most of his personal wealth from the stock he racked up in 2006. He should be taking us all out for ice cream or something. I want a sugar cone.

I know it's probably a quiet day, but can't you write about something more interesting than how rich/fragrant/nice/cool Steve Jobs is? It's the one (frequently written about on this site) subject that bores me to death. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
