Amazon.com CEO Gets $1.28M Compensation

Updated: 9:36 p.m. ET April 27, 2007
SEATTLE - Amazon.com Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Jeff Bezos received compensation the company valued at $1.28 million in 2006, according to an analysis of a regulatory filing made by the online retailer Friday.

Most of that compensation came from the value of security provided for Bezos, 43, who founded the Seattle-based company.

According to a federal Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Bezos was paid an $81,840 salary in 2006. He was granted no bonus and no stock or option awards, but the company valued Bezos' security services at $1.2 million.

Interesting because of all the executives we've all heard about that are making $20, 30, 40 million a year!

IMO, Amazon seems to be quite a successful company, and I admire this founder for not raping the company!
