Well, we don't actually know that. Can a different CEO do a better job with Facebook? We haven't any idea as we have never had the opportunity to find out. But I agree that it's generally bad for shareholders if your CEO ends up in prison.
- spoonjim 5y ago5 companies have ever been worth more than $1 trillion, Facebook is one of them. Could a different CEO have made more money? Possibly. But the notion is a bit like thinking that you could have done better than Tom Brady as a quarterback because he lost 3 Super Bowls. I mean, yes, it's true, you can imagine a quarterback that didn't lose those 3 games. But he also won 7, which, chances are, your replacement QB would have not. When a person has made more money for shareholders than 99.999995% of people in history, it's an extraordinary claim that someone else could have made more, one that would require extraordinary evidence.

The question is not whether another CEO could have made money from the start, the question is whether another CEO could have made more money from the point at which Facebook paid billions to shield Mark Zuckerberg. What has he personally done to move the needle that much in the past two years?
