What I find about the part that shareholders in setting CEO salaries is that they have very little power.

Every dollar that is paid to a CEO is less money that will be distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends. You do see shareholder groups putting up resolutions at AGM to block salary increases to CEO but it is rare that they get through. The motions usually fail because of the share quantity held by the CEO and executives of the company.

only for little $100,000,000 or so companies

my company's share price is over 1000 euro per share... there are also over 100,000,000 shares... if the CEO has a package of just 10,000 of those he would be selling and retiring! big MNC CEOs paypackets are huge, no doubt, but then most of them have a job life expectancy of about 2-3 years and it's taken them their whole career to get there.

My friends are property investors. Currently very very wealthy. But, they do it for pleasure. They both work mega jobs and huge hours to pay them all off.

Their kids are the same age as ours and the long care and minimal parent time are showing through by now IMHO which is very sad. They rarely smile.. or talk. I hope it sorts itself out but I'm concerned for what they will be like when they are in their teens.

I'm damn sure they are going to die richer than me, and that's worth living for.

If he was Robert Plant I'd think he was sexy (well, back in the 70's at least...Stevo's not old enough!!...to be Robert Plant)

NM's right am to young to be Robert Plant, more likely Dave Grohl, Jeff Martin, Ian Astbury , ahh but who I am kidding ,

Keep his special bed pan, with the rough edges, in the freezer.

Hi, my first RR cost $1500-- [rust got it around windows. Sold it for $500 as a wreck after geting 2 years use out of it, and keeping parts--new springs--with lift, workshop mamuel etc.--for my next RR. Seats we bought from this 2 door, plus workshop manuel is currently advertised on this forum. the Next RR I bought cost $2000-, currently advertised on this forum. We got 2 years from it before buying one cheap RR with gas gear ready to be fitted] the reason we own old RR is we need a $WD for our drive, and we do not want to borrow to buy a better car, a discovery diesel. We own our own house, morgage free in the country in the mountains, near queensland border. From home we look over the valley to nightcap national park. within less than a kilometer from home we can see another 4 national parks--border ranges, mount warning, lamington, and a new one that was previously Mebin state forest--do not know the name of this new national park. We sold our 2 bedroom fibro house in Sydney on a busy road, opposite a rail way line, and paid out our mogage and bout 12 acres with a lovely stone house to window level, then western red cedar, buying this with a private $10,000 morgage withnthe seller, which we paid of when some expected money arrived from a will. My personal opion is interest rates should be lower. The banks make a fortune by leanding you government money supplied by the reserve bank, a private company who tells the government they can print more money and give it to them, and then charge the government interest on what it loans to them. Malcolm Turnbull a multi millionare became a multimillionare are by lending other peoples money and charging interest. The Bank charges you to keep your money in the bank, while lending it to people buying a home and charging these people to borrow your money.
