Apple will raise Steve's salary to $2 and the trolls will start screeching that he got 100% pay raise.

He should make more... he probably has made enough and I think this sets a good example. Leadership is often a quality one can never buy, but that you often pay for (and probably dont get).

$2/year would be a good raise.

Of course the jet and stock options make even a regular 7 figure salary look TINY!

Give him a $100 store credit.

Must really suck to do what you love and only make a dollar. Never mind that you have billions in the bank already.

I wonder if he gets free iTunes songs... I am sure Steve won't be bothered by a raise, and frankly I don't know why CEOs and other high level executives who already have that kind of money in the bank ever take the salaries they do, it's not necessary and could be used for better in, or outside the company.

Steve himself said of Bill Gates a few months ago:

I think the world is a better place because Bill realized that his goal isn't to be the richest guy in the cemetery. Right? That's a good thing.

he might get a dollar in salary, but dont forget all the stock options he has received which has made him hundreds of millions of dollars so far, in any case this guy deserves wht ever rewards come to him

Just a reminder of what Macworld wrote back on May 4, 2007:

"Steve Jobs’ $1 salary was dwarfed by $646 million in stock compensation for 2006, Forbes magazine said Friday, ranking the Apple CEO as the highest-paid executive in the U.S.

"In its annual CEO paycheck scorecard of America’s 500 biggest companies, Forbes said the $646.6 million for Jobs was more than twice the compensation of the next person on the list: Ray Irani of Occidental Petroleum, who took home $321.6 million — the bulk of it from exercised stock options."
