She deserves some compensation for managing to make Yahoo salable, which was mission impossible when she took the job. I'm not in a position to evaluate the actual sum.
- metaphorm 10y agowasn't Microsoft (and maybe some other bidders) considering buying Yahoo for like $40B at one point prior to Mayer's era?
- fusiongyro 10y agoIIRC that was many years prior, like before Bing.
