Someone like Tim Cook works basically 24x7, 365 days a year, has made hundreds of billions in profit, increased the value of his company by like a trillion dollars, and gets $60-90M for the trouble. One can argue that's too much money, sure, but then you have the multibillionaire class above him (say Steve Ballmer as a random example, and plenty of large Apple shareholders like Buffet I'm sure) who have done absolutely nothing all year and still seen their net worth go up by tens of billions of dollars. Looking at these people it's Tim Cook who should be complaining about being underpaid.
- cedws 3y ago>Someone like Tim Cook works basically 24x7 I find it hard to believe Tim Cook does not sleep. Anyway, it's much easier to work all the time when you're obscenely rich because you can pay people to take your problems away, like cooking dinner or taking the kids to school. Tim Cook doesn't get home late because of a cancelled train and then have to do chores. >365 days a year I also find it hard to believe Tim Cook does not take holidays whatsoever. >has made hundreds of billions in profit No, the company made hundreds of billions in profit under his direction. It is impossible to know how much better or worse that figure would be with someone else at the helm. I don't deny that Tim Cook is valuable to Apple, but nobody is irreplaceable. The world is full of intelligent people who could do the same job for a tiny fraction of his salary.
