 I Admire Steve Jobs I am just so fascinated with Steve Jobs' spirit! Considering a man that pays himself only $1 a year and manages to handle a very important job with an upbeat attitude tells me a lot about him. Unlike Bill Gates, who is controlled by greed, Jobs just simply likes doing his job and is happy to go about doing it. For a man who pays himself so little for doing an extremely difficult job, you just have to admire that! I say that Steve Jobs deserves more rounds of applause than any other person has ever received. I wish I were like Steve Jobs. I could be, though. I just don't have enough money to back myself up on a $1 a year salary. Oh well, there's always the alternative: philanthropy.  Does anyone else here admire Steve Jobs? If so, tell why you admire him here.

| He may receive $1/year from Apple, but what does he receive in stock options, health benefits, material objects? Remember, jets, automobiles, and other hardware can be wonderful places to "hide" money. I'm not an accountant, but I know there are loopholes that the super wealthy take advantage of as if their life depended on them. And Steve Jobs is not in the poor house by any means. He's VERY well to do, and rightly so. He's earned it.

| Not being negative, just checking reality... $1/yr. from Apple (not to mention stock options-which someone already used) Don't forget that the Great Turtle Neck runs Pixar. You know, that little company the brought us all those cool computer graphic feature length movies like Toy Story (1 & 2), and a stack of other. How much did each of those gross? Enought that you can bet his salary alone from that company is 6 figures (maybe more). Add in all the ceo perks like he gets at Apple. I think he's doing OK. Yeah, Apple may be treating him like the hired help, but I don't think he minds too much!

| I've heard that it means 'Chief Executive Officer'. Funny, cuz at M$ BG is not the CEO; he's the Chairman and Chief Software Architect. Steve Ballmer is the CEO.
