Jobs Earns More Than A Buck A Year

Posted by pudge on from the nice-work-if-you-can-get-it dept.

The Only Druid writes "Well, though we've all heard about Steve Jobs only being paid $1 per year for being CEO of Apple, it turns out Apple pays him in other ways. He gets $1.2 million for renting the jet to them -- a jet that Apple bought for Jobs."

  1. There are some things... by DarwinDan · · Score: 2, Funny
    • Gulfstream V jet: $30m
    • Tricked-out XServe: $8248
    • 12" Al-Book $1299
    Getting the company that bought you the jet to rent it from you: priceless.

    There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, there's Steve Jobs.

    Hmmm... so they send you to the trouble site in a Lear jet if a server goes beserk? Sounds like time for a clever bit of system administration scripting.

    "Gosh, Boss, I have no idea why the servers in LA are down. Even rebooting doesn't seem to fix it. I guess I'll have to be flown out there - such a shame since it's 75 and sunny over there and we're buried in snow here."

    $ cat /etc/init.d/tempcheck
    if (LA.server == true)
    {
    if (CH.temperature < 15 || CH.expectedSnowFall > 10)
    {
    shutdown -halt now
    }
    }
