For a guy who makes $1 per year, Steve Jobs sure is rich!

Is the Apple Inc. corporate jet called the iJet? :)

Steve is incredibly smart (and has good financial advisers/attorneys). Salary is taxed at normal income tax rates; capital gains, like those made on the enormous stock options Steve gets, are taxed at 15% (as long as you hold them for a year).

Steve also owns some 5mil shares of Apple and 138mil shares of Disney.

Steven Sande (who wrote this blog post) understands the salary situation for Steve Jobs, and he's making a *joke* about it in the headline.

CEO salaries were most recently reported for 2008, and Steve Jobs is still earning the lone $1:

I thought the headline was funny and appropriate. Good job, Steven!

I think it is funny that a majority of his money is *not* from Apple. Buying Pixar for $5 million and selling for something like $4 billion in personal profit.

Steve aint makin $1 no more. He took the actual money either the previous year or year before that. He USED to only take $1 of his salary now he takes what he makes.

For a guy that rich he could be thinking of retiring soon-ish. (i said "ish") so he takes the money

William Gates is one year younger and he decided to "retire" i.e no more working @ Microsoft.

Nope! He is very smart..or very well advised
Salary are not taxed as the same as capital gain.
I'll bet that, $ for $, he is paying less taxes than most of us.

For a guy who doesn't have a work, Bill gates sure is rich. Uber rich. :)

If you guys believe he makes $1 a year... you truly are dense.
