With what I do, I see it from both sides, actually.

So add on some more $3M chunks.  It still does not add to $225 + 10%.

This is such bull crap.  Read some business magazines someday; watch
some CNBC.  The $1 salary for CEO's has been proven to be such a scam.
Between their stock options, bonuses and perks, they still make hundreds
of millions.  Just because their on-the-record "salary" is $1 means
nothing.  Don't delude yourself.  But again, I'm not against execs
making zillions: I'm against people being ignorant of it and thinking
guys like Jobs are being altruistic or something, and I'm against the
screwing of the consumer which is inherent in $10 album downloads and
$25 CD's.
