When I own a super organization i'm having a cap.
eg, we have a minimum wage pay, i'm having a max, everyone regardless of who you are can earn say up to a max of $500k a year
Longterm consequences of a rule like this (if enforced by the government to apply to everyone)
would everything would come down in price, cheaper cars, cheaper houses for all the "employees" out there.
of course, if you want to be a business owner and make the billions to buy what the select few only can, go for it, i'm talking about employees who did not put all the hard work in to begin with to make a business empire, can only get a MAX of $500k, Bill can take a 3 billion wage a year if he wanted to, he put the hard work into it only fair he gets the money
Bottom Line - Tim Cook is not worth that kind of money nor is anyone, only the ones who put the time and dedication into starting it up.
As for Investors, Shareholders, they too should be capped and regulated to prevent abuse like now.

Who cares???, 28 Dec 2012Nobody cares smart guy..That comment you deemed as "Who Cares" is more informative than the article itself. Comments like yours are what making GSM Arena web site look like a children's playground. Grow up and learn to acknowledge people who are apparently more intelligent than you instead of trying to bring them down to your level.

Perhaps we could start up a fund for this hard done by bloke.This is tough news for your readers especially Nokia fans to stomach, and right after Christmas.
I hope he can manage to get through 2013.
Well, Nokia will just have to come up with something special in 2013 to help this guy and his ilk get buy!!

His salary hasn't dropped at all. These reporters come up with ridiculous headlines just to get some page clicks. The $378 million in last year was in the form of Restricted Stock Units which are set to vest at later time. Here is the whole story - just before Tim Cook became CEO, Apple gave him 1 million RSU stocks if he continues to work for the company. If continues for next five years - he can cash half of those stocks and he can cash the remaining after 10 years. Last year, Apple stock price was $370 so all the news papers reported that he got $370 million salary. The truth is, that money is in the form of stocks that he cannot sell until at least five years. If Apple stock price reaches $1000 in five years, he will be a billionaire at that time. (well half billionaire, since he can sell only half the stocks after 5 years) the stockHis actual salary was $2mil last year and this year it is $4m - you decide if his salary is dropped by 99%
