    Tim Cook makes 1/3 of that and Apple is worth about 2-300 times what reddit is.

      Millions of dollars of pay are always absurd but this really puts it into perspective

        I always gear that money vorrupts everyone at some point, and i really wonder if that is true. Like i couldn’t imagine making a few million dollars a year and don’t say fuck it after a year to never be seen again

          Same. I’d take my $30 million or whatever it was after the first year, quit, buy a modest house, put the rest into savings, and live off the interest. And you can live really well off the interest of $30 million.

          It kinda does feel like spez is just testing how much he can squeeze out of the leftover marks at reddit before leaving the carcass out to dry.
