In this Forbes magazine article from almost four years ago they discuss Mark Zuckerberg's Income.
Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg is now the company's lowest-paid employee, according to its latest proxy filing. Zuckerberg -- worth $27.8 billion mostly in Facebook stock -- requested an annual wage of $1 in 2013, joining the ranks of a handful of other very wealthy CEOs who take a symbolically negligible base pay.
Meanwhile since that article was posted his net worth has more than doubled to over $69 billion. You may wonder how he has been able to achieve this ... his wife is very frugal. Can you imagine the two of them lined up in the grocery checkout with handfuls of coupons to reduce their bill. Fine ... they send the servants with the coupons and the security guards to carry the bags of groceries.
The reality is that that if he took all of his money and put it in a savings account @ 1 percent interest (like most of my parents' generation do) his monthly income would be $fifty-seven million five hundred thousand (almost $2 million per day).
I don't begrudge Mr Z his $1 per year. He has skills in areas that far surpass mine. However it does give us a wake up call in the STEEM community. His income is based on the content and the networking skills of the people on facebook.
Keep up the good fight STEEMIANS.
