That’s a lot of money to you and me, but we’re not in the running for a CEO position at Intel. For the people who might be, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s peanuts.

It's also, weirdly, not going to make a lot of difference to the person earning it.

If you're next in line to that, you can already afford literally everything. Or stop working tomorrow and still afford _almost_ everything.

So it's about whether or not it's a good job to work in, and one that will enhance your reputation and status.

IIRC 10 year old report states 100 million usd net worth is enough to buy whatever you want.

50M in salary is actually quite high. The S&P 500 average is less than 20M. I’ve seen companies half the size of Intel pay their CEOs ~11M.

It is high. And it is wrong. See details here:
