I wonder how much Uber will have to give him. He's already running a $22b company and was granted $90m in options less than two years ago. My guess: $500m minim

I wonder how much Uber will have to give him. He's already running a $22b company and was granted $90m in options less than two years ago. My guess: $500m minimum at a ~$30b valuation.

500m at 30b sounds unrealistic. The low end of secondary market is ~45-50b. He will doubtless make a pretty penny.

1/60 of the company value? That is insane

  That's pretty typical for a new CEO. 2-3%. In fact, that's a bit low.

    This isn't a series B/C/D company. Expedia is losing a CEO and the new one isn't going to be paid 400m (2% of Expedia by market cap).

CEOs can ask for a few %. 2% isn't that outrageous when you consider the company will lose more than that if they spend a few more months without a CEO, or with the wrong one.

More likely matching salary and bonus, covering the $90m (worth more at hand than vesting over X years) + $XXm stock which could still see a nice bump before an IPO happens.
