Ballmer 'Underpaid' in 2007
Steve Ballmer
pulled
in about $1.3 million in fiscal 2007,
a
pittance according to Microsoft.
And, really, it doesn't seem like that much money for a guy who heads a company
that made more than $50 billion in the same fiscal year. Our favorite part of
this story, though, comes from the second linked article (the one from Australian
IT):
"Unlike some companies that spend millions on executive perks, Microsoft
gave Ballmer a modest $US6750 to his retirement plan and about $US3000 worth
of life insurance and athletic club memberships."
Athletic club memberships. Yeah. We're just going to let that one sit out there.
