Yang gets $1 for services to Yahoo
You got what you paid for
Thursday, 30 April 2009, 12:14
YAHOO PAID former CEO Jerry Yang only $1 for all the work he did last year.
Yang was probably expecting to get a bit more in compensation and bonuses, however Yahoo's share price plummeted following his campaign to shut out Microsoft at all costs.
An AP story says Yang had settled for a token salary for years because he has gotten rich off of Yahoo's stock since cofounding the web portal in 1994.
Thanks to his own anti-Volish efforts, Yang's 3.9 percent stake in Yahoo was worth about $600 million less at the end of 2008. µ

I'm sure that whilst he only got officially "paid" $1, he got many directors benefits or something along those lines...
This is almost as lame as Steve Jobs talking about how he only gets paid "$1" as salary yet reaps in tons from stocks, etc.
Oh wait, I guess not quite as lame since at least Jobs' stocks are worth something.
