Apple CEO Steve Jobs recently was inducted into the famed Guiness Book of World Record for being the "lowest paid CEO" in the world. Can anyone guess what's his salary for the year 2004?? $1.... yes you read it right, it's just 1 dollar US!!
But don't pass on a judgment immediately thinking he is a fool... he infact gets money through stock options and as "gift cheque" from the company. But many believe that he has set a landmark of a sort by accepting such a small salary....Forbes magazine, in its annual list of the world's 400 richest people, ranked Jobs at No. 74, putting his estimated worth at $2.6 billion.
PS: I believe TamilNadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa's salary is just Re. 1 per annum... correct me if am wrong!!
