No person on this planet is worth this kind of money, the only way he has been able to get this kind of money is from selling stock. The only other means would be if he sold the company..........his comp was an error, he's right up there with Gates..........one of the main culprits of the corruption we have all witnessed in the market begins within these corporations..........The stock they are issued when a company becomes public should remain restricted. No additonal shares should ever be issued for compensation, which is usually top mgmt, but with the filings of S-8's are a remedy to pay not only themselves but the bottom wage earners in the company, and then its paid by shareholders, investors, new or old alike.

If they cannot make it on the revenues the company generates why are they in business?..........what makes them so much better than private entities who work for their paychecks?.

Shareholder's should have a voice even in these matters. Until someone creates space travel, finds a cure for cancer, or creates the fountain of youth and health, no one is worth 1375x more than the President of the US who has the weight of this country and the world on his shoulders, not to mention the time he has to put in or should with his every waking hour..............n4 this is completely nuts, and I'm not just singling Ellison out, Gates and others like him, Hedgefund mgrs who operate off shore and outside of US jurisdiction was made this way by design.........the biggest crooks on the planet.
