I didn't suggest no compensation. Obviously I would want to be paid some base salary, comparable with whatever I could earn elsewhere ($1m / year? $1m / month?

I didn't suggest no compensation. Obviously I would want to be paid some base salary, comparable with whatever I could earn elsewhere ($1m / year? $1m / month? etc.) But instead of a $80m golden parachute (failure reward), I'd offer $800m options (success reward).
