Yahoo’s New Male CEO Is Making Double Marissa Mayer’s Salary
- cgore 10y agoShe almost destroyed what was left Yahoo, right? If anything, she should have been paid a negative salary.
- vanattab 10y agoShe defintaly failed to save Yahoo from being destroyed but I would not go so far as to say she destroyed Yahoo.
- jamesdwilson 10y agoyeah it is called supply, demand, and negotiation. if she didn't want the salary she got, she can say no. it is very simple.
- helmchenlord 10y agoIt's just laughable how this article tries to pull a gender issue out of thin air. Her base salary at Yahoo may have been $1m, but during her first six months at Yahoo she got a total of $36,6m. She has $69 million worth of unexercised stock options plus $97 million of Yahoo stock she already owns, after less than five years, during which she run the company into the ground. McInerney gets a base salary of $2m plus a bonus of up to $2m, and he "will also be eligible for grants of long-term incentive rewards of up to $24 million". All of this is connected to his performance, and I guess the requirements will be much stronger than the ones set for Mayer.
- idiot_stick 10y ago>during which she run the company into the ground. That might be an exaggeration, but yeah. It's hard to fathom that someone could sock away enough wealth to last generations for accomplishing so little (from an investor's perspective).
- mdotk 10y agoFake news and manufactured outrage. It's all about those clicks and eyeballs.

- mikestew 10y agoOne had prior experience as CEO...one didn't. Move along, no gender-based discrimination to see here.
- lawnchair_larry 10y agoHe has double the salary, but less than half of the annual compensation. Sounds like the male CEO should be the one crying discrimination? Salary means absolutely nothing on its own. Many CEOs take a $1 dollar salary, and among them are the richest individuals in the world.
