No doubt he's done a good job, but he also inherited a great company which was obviously already full of great people.
He has done surprisingly well during his time there, but Apple has shifted more into a monopolistic, protectionist company with declining software/hardware quality compared to when Steve Jobs was running it.
From an investor standpoint, he's done quite well. And since his reward is based on stock value, I'd say he's earned it. But I wouldn't say he's 100X or more talented than an average experienced business leader.

An extra 0.0003X growth pays back the 750 million for a 2.4 trillion dollar company.(750mil bonus/2.4 T market cap) If he is 1.0003 X better at growing value than the average CEO, it was worth it from the financial perspective. The argument that Tim cook a 1.0003X CEO is a lot easier to make.
