“Steve Jobs, the chief executive of Apple Computer, is a standout in our analysis of performance versus pay. One year ago, we ranked Jobs at 81, but this year he jumped all the way up to 18,” John J. Ray writes for Forbes. “In one year Apple’s earnings rose 295%. More importantly, Apple shareholders were rewarded with a six-year annualized total return of 29%, compared to -1% for the S&P 500. Over the past six years, Jobs has been paid an average of $14.6 million per year in total compensation.”
Ray writes, “Steve Jobs only received $1 in official compensation from Apple Computer last year, but his 1.2% stake in Apple is now worth $417 million.”
