APPLE'S spiritual and temporal leader Steve Jobs was the highest paid CEO in the IT industry last year, according to Forbes magazine.

Even though Jobs was paid a nominal one-dollar salary, Job's stock option plan earned him $646 million.

Terry Semel, of Yahoo, was rated fifth with £174,202 and Michael Dell,of Dell, were the next biggest earners in the IT industry with a yearly package of more than $153 million.
