    robrob[/url]":2pkpc6te]Base salary of $800k for executives is actually incredibly low, but at the same time in early 2012 these people sold hundreds of thousands of shares and took away tens of millions. It's a great strategy that Apple has, these people have become incredibly wealthy via building the value of the company rather than the usual CEO path of tens of millions in payouts when they're fired.

    Except the CEO has approved borrowing money to buy back stock, boosting the stock price. Hence the CEO can play games with OPM (other people's money) to make money for himself.

    Typically these options are granted at a discount (15%) so you can screw up a bit and still make money.

    Further Apple spent money fighting the feds for the Jobs illegal stock pricing scam.

    Apple is a house of cards.
