rvz1020,.....You missed the point. He's been making that much for at least a couple of years now.
Someone who makes that much can afford a house like that.
Now is he worth $200k,...that's a whole other story....
After reading the salary thing, I wondered my self. My reconcilliation is that...as a CEO no he's not worth $200k.
However, he has managed to operate with very low headcount. He has sub'd out the manufacturing and wrt other things he's has continually worn several different hats in addition to president/CEO...
So when you look at a startup, and consider salary, benefits etc.,... had he hired just a handfull of additional people to work for the company, instead of just keeping it lean...the cost would exceed $200k.
So I see the $200k/ yr as spent money regardless of how you slice it.
