Re: But, actually, 10,000 shares does not represent that much. On Sept. 27, 2000 with AMD at ~$25.00/share it was only ~$250,000.

Actually, he was granted 30,000 shares, and he's already cashed out 20,000 worth. The last 10,000 won't vest until 2005.

At any rate, with stock dilution, it didn't cost AMD anything to issue those shares. The shareholders paid for it.
