      What top 20 company doesn’t do this for the Executive Chair of their Board that was also their founder? Seems like someone just wants to be angry by trying to point this out.

      ? Why does this concern the general public? 

      The only thing that matters is that we tax billionaires accordingly. Amazon should feel free to reward bezos however they see fit financially as long as it’s legal.

      How is this possibly related to technology. Yes billionaires bad. This is more of a political sub than anything lol, all the actual tech advancements get downvoted.

      His yacht probably can’t even leave Miami to the keys for 80k 😂 the littlest hobo yacht at that.

      And I bet hisnbank account has less than $250k on jt. Everything el.is business credit expenses, no neee for money, when you own assets.

      So it becomes business expense instead of personal expenses. Man literally invented a bullshit role so he could spend company money like his own.

      Seems like nothing for what he built. Im honestly surprised it isnt much more.

      Transporting your chairman and keeping him from getting assassinated while traveling are generally considered business expenses, not compensation.

      Middle class workers get those benefits too if they need them. Companies reimburse workers for traveling expenses if travel is needed for the job. And if you have to travel somewhere sketchy companies will often hire bodyguards and drivers for you.

      that’s… fine? travel and security means the money goes to the airlines and companies providing their services, not to his own pocket.

      The worse thing Marvel ever did was white wash billionaires with Iron Man.

      He’s the Chairman of the Board of Directors, right?

      This isn’t at all an absurd accommodation for a company worth $2.4 trillion.

      Its shocking that he’s paid that little for being Chairman.

      Might sound odd, but 1.6 million seems kinda low. I bet he spends plenty more on security.

      So what is the issue here? He owns the company? I don’t understand what is trying to be said here?

      Amazon has a weird compensation model for most of its salaried employees. Everyone maxes out at the same base pay and then they add cash bonuses and stock on top to create your total compensation package. At most tech companies your total compensation is something like 85% base pay, 10% stock, 5% bonus.

      At Amazon it’s flipped and the bulk of your comp is base pay + bonus for the first two years and then the majority of your comp comes from stock in years 3-4. They will refresh your stock as part of the annual review process. This means that if you do a terrible job, and don’t receive additional stock, then your total compensation can dramatically drop. Though, they would likely fire you before that point.

      All that to say, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that Bezos gets stock or other compensation that far exceeds the $80k base that’s being reported. It’s not only in line with how Amazon does compensation, but it also has significant tax benefits for Bezos.

      $1.6 million for a security detail alone is pretty low for a man of his wealth. I doubt that actually covers his security and travel 100%

      We have such a cool tax system that’s definitely not designed to be as convoluted and little dicked possible
