Jeff Bezos Was Only Paid A $81,400 Salary, Here’s How He Can Still Afford His $237m Mansion

Idk, probably because he already bought it?

So yeah, it seems crazy that a man as wealthy and powerful as Jeffrey H. Bezos hasn’t had a pay rise since 1998 and doesn’t even take bonuses. But it’s all just shuffling money around isn’t it?

Sure, he takes a nominal salary and can claim to be the better man for it but Amazon pays about $1.6 million in security and travel on Bezos but the CRUCIALLY Jeff is sitting on 8% of Amazon stock worth hundreds of billions.

Yeah, it’s actually quite straightforward, really. I mean, this guy is the third richest person in the world, worth $250 billion, did you really think he was relying on that Christmas Bonus to make ends meet?

Jeff bezos earnings
He doesn’t need it guys, he really, really doesn’t need it.

Yeah, the Bezos family mansion complex will be fine

As the SEC filling explains, “Mr. Bezos requested not to receive additional compensation and has never received annual cash compensation in excess of his current amount. Due to Mr. Bezos’s substantial stock ownership, he believes he is appropriately incentivized and his interests are appropriately aligned with shareholders’ interests.”

Not going to lie, that’s fair play.

Jeff gets compensated when the company’s doing well. He personally invested in the company succeeding. He doesn’t need an insanely high default amount of money that he can rely on even if he lets Amazon go down the tube.

I’m looking at you, Zaslov…
