- andy_ppp 5y agoHe says he's giving all of his wealth away when he dies anyway. So I'm guessing he has plans to give it to causes he really thinks are important going forward. I'm pretty sure someone like Tim Cook doesn't need the cash so there must be a reason for the compensation and to be fair Apple's execution has been nothing short of incredible since he took over.

- oblio 5y agoYeah, because at that level, that's what's going to make the difference between him and his peers as they're chatting :-)
- dundarious 5y agoI think people at this level have enough economic dignity points already. Let those on the bottom rung have a few.
- evilos 5y agoHe is Tim Cook. Everyone knows who he is and his compensation hardly matters in terms of prestige.
- seaman1921 5y agoIt might be a bit hard to believe, but in reality many passionate employees don't really care about the pay - they genuinely want to build a great product - but they are still paid well because the company looks after the top talent in every possible way.

- outside1234 5y agoBecause he cares bout the pay because it’s how he keeps score
- Ntrails 5y agoThis would be my exact interpretation - it's not that he needs the money it's that he wants the cachet of being insanely well remunerated
- asperous 5y agoIf you want a real answer, it’s because there are many other companies that would love to hire Mr. Cook and would be willing to pay a lot to do it.
