It’s not for doing nothing, it’s for doing things he already did.
Yeah, I’m more interested in how much Steve Jobs daughter made last year. Money gets whitewashed into the next generation like royalty.

It’s not for doing nothing, it’s for doing things he already did. He got the stock as part of his compensation plan at Microsoft.
And a dividend of $0.75 per share is 0.2% interest at the current share price, he could get more in a savings account and 20x that in a CD or something. The dividend isn’t crazy high. He just had a shitload of their stock.
Executive compensation as a whole is a story, but Steve Ballmer is not doing anything particularly noteworthy.

stock ownership need to have an expiration date. Sure he did work to reclaim the gains of these shares, but at a certain point these stocks need to be relinquished and shared among the real contributors of the company so they could also get a taste of their work. You can’t keep leeching off of people like this all the time, or whats the point of having kids and procreation overall ?
