Apple bought a US$90-million jet for Jobs in December 1999 as a special bonus. The company had previously reported that payment in 2000, but shifted the recorded payment to 2001 since the plane was transferred to Jobs in the past year, the company said.

Other top Apple execs did "much better" with salaries ranging from US$450,000 for Mr. Tevanian, Appleis Senior Software Engineer, to just under US$660,000 paid to Mr. Fred Anderson, Appleis Chief Financial Officer. These and other Apple execs, including Mr. jobs, also get stock options totalling in the millions.
