How Jeff Bezos makes ends meet on an $82,000 salary

Bezos smiles Less than a week after Forbes sang the praises of his "modest $82,000 annual base salary," Jeff Bezos cashed in another 2.15 million shares of his Amazon.com stock, adding another $168 million to an earlier $135 million sale to boost his take for the last three months to a cool $300 million-plus. Not forgetting those less fortunate, Jeff also set aside 252 Amazon shares, or about .01 percent of last week's sales, for donation to a nonprofit.

I bet he spends his salary on lottery tickets.

Maybe he should buy a hat.

Ironically -- 1 sub-orbital spacecraft = $300,000,000. It all adds up.

@sggrf: I respectfully disagree with the unlikeable comment.
