She made over $200M in salary over four years. Her risk was zero.
I can see no analog here for anything a normal human being would recognize as a challenge despite tough odds.
- AnimalMuppet 10y agoThere was a pretty major risk that her name would be tarred as "that loser who wrecked Yahoo". It might affect her ability to get any further C-level positions. That risk might not be something that a normal human being would want compensation to take on.
- fma 10y agoIf you have $200 million in the bank, why do you need any further C-level position? Hell, give me $20 million and I'll take that risk.

- fma 10y agoYou would be a better CEO than me off the bat. You just saved the company $198 million.
- discodave 10y agoBy the time you're that rich money & wealth is just a scoresheet, not a means to an end. Competitive, successful people like winning more than they like money, otherwise people like Larry Ellison wouldn't spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the Americas cup.
- username223 10y ago> By the time you're that rich money & wealth is just a scoresheet, not a means to an end. Yo'ure no doubt right, but when a majority of society is told to accept that money is "food, shelter, and a decent existence" to most people, and "points in a senseless ego game" to a few, things have gone badly off the rails. Those differences in perspective tend to be resolved violently and badly.
