Would You Work For $1?
Thursday, March 27th, 2008
Everyday something about Google continues to surprise/amaze me. Besides the fact that there stock is getting slammed right now because of flat numbers, lack of growth, etc… What really shocked me was the recent salaries the two Google founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page and the CEO Eric Schmidt just took.
Google’s stock is sitting from a high of above $747 to now only $450, nearly a $300 drop - yet still, Sergey, Larry and Eric have the NERVE to take such outrageous salaries?
What did they take?
$1 flat - that’s right, their salaries were just $1.
But, before you feel bad for them, know this - both the founders are still worth close to $13 Billion EACH and the CEO is worth just over $4.3 Billion…
So, yes, if I was worth that much, I’d take $1 as a salary, but for now - please give me my money!
