Here's some interesting information about some of the companies and
executives out there:
Jack Tramiel, founder of Commodore, is listed in the FORBES 400
as having a NET WORTH of $370,000,000. This is, as is usual in
FORBES estimates, a conservative figure. His reputation was
hurt in a major financial scandal (something in Canada). Irving
Gould, investor, saved him from bankruptcy. In 1984, Tramiel
got out of Commodore as a result of a dispute with Gould. He then
bought up Atari.
John Sculley, CEO of Apple Computer, made $2,251,000 last year,
but only owns three tenths of one percent of the company. IBM's
CEO John Akers made $1,886,000. He owns less than one one hundreth
of one percent of the company. Commodore and Atari were not listed
in the article I got this from. (Forbes, May 28, 1990)
If anyone knows how much Commodores CEO (O' captain, my Captain...?)
makes, let me know.
