$40MM is definitely nothing to scoff at but if you consider the overall enterprise value of linux out there in the wild, then it's definitely less than even 1% of the value that was created. So on absolute basis compared to a regular salary it's great, but relatively to the value created, it's no where near the value that he brought to the world.
