“As Chief Executive Officer, Director at AMAZON.COM INC, Jeffrey P. Bezos made $1,681,840 in total compensation. Of this total $81,840 was received as a salary, $0 was received as a bonus, $0 was received in stock options, $0 was awarded as stock and $1,600,000 came from other types of compensation.”
I suspect he worked more than the 8 mins your figures suggest.
Pro tip: create a business that serves hundreds of millions of people and it will likely be worth a lot of money. Maybe billions.
The value of his company is actually determined by anyone who wants to buy a piece of it.
The business he has headed has grown to over 700 billion in market cap, but the wrong decisions wouldn’t have made that happen.
Outside of a valuation arrived by what others would pay, how should Bezos’ earnings/wealth be determined?
