In response to Bison89
Six figure salaries are fairly common in the "real world", but the idea of earning $8,000,000-$10,000,000 per year is just plain insane. (I typed out the numbers so that we can truly appreciate the amount of cash involved.) That being said, personally, I cannot ever fault anybody for earning as much as possible. I hope that Mike maximizes his contract by getting a few different teams who make offers.
Speaking of huge salaries, Bucknellians ranked 1st and 9th on Bloomberg's list of the top ten highest-paid executives for 2016. Marc Lore '93 received about $237 Million for the year and Les Moonves '71 earned about $86.5 Million. Lore will receive similar compensation for the next four years as part of the sale of his Jet.com to Walmart. He is now CEO of Jet.com and also CEO of Walmart.com. (See previous thread.) Moonves recently signed a new contract that should keep his compensation over $75 Million through 2021.
