CEO of the most valuable company in the world? I think they can handle it.

It’s not like the most valuable company in the world can’t afford it!

Thanks and corrected. It was (Ms) Ingrid who put reigns in the headline, by the way.

Very easy to be insulting when you’re anonymous, isn’t it?

Uhhh, don’t you mean “reins,” Ms. (or, Mr., as the headline-writing-case may be) Einstein? I’ll bet you mess up on the carrot-and stick metaphor, too.

“Relied on stock performance for the rest”

Cook gets 1.8 million in regular pay, and will reap the benefits of the other compensation reported based on the stock performance. If the company tanks, so does he.

It is called incentive.

And the previous boss took a Buck a year and relied on stock performance for the rest.

Hope Apple’s not revisiting the late 80′s/early 90′s cold corporate days again.
