Honestly, I don’t have the highest-paying job in the mobile industry, but my salary is much higher than the salary of Google’s CEO, Eric Schmidt. Not only that, it is also higher than the salary of Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs.
Reuters publishes the compensation of most public companies in the US. Here are some of them:
- Steve Jobs (CEO of Apple): $1 / year
- Jerry Yang (CEO of Yahoo): $1 / year
- Eric Schmidt (CEO of Google): $1,899 / year
- Sergey Brin and Larry Page (Founder of Google): $1,724 / year
- Roger Enrico (Chairman of Board of Director of Dreamworks Animation): $1 / year
Should I feel lucky to have much higher salary than many leaders in the high-tech industry? Probably not, because my stock options benefit is much lower than theirs.
