No risk, no gain. Barney daily risks his job, his salary, his savings, his house, and his retirement to make more. No guarantee his picks will be right. He could be selling pencils on Fifth Avenue tomorrow.
I’ve seen a few CEOs come and go. Most likely Barney daily risks some of his wretched excess. If he picks wrong, he may lose his current job but in all likelihood his life style will remain unchanged except that he’ll have more free time until he picks up another CEO gig. Look at the recent BP CEO. Now he has his life back, loads of money, and another job with BP if he wants to take it.
I think it’s crazy, also, but if I were making as much as 459 first-grade teachers combined, it might seem perfectly reasonable - I sure wouldn’t say “oh, that’s too much, take some back”…

Do we hate children and love scoundrels? The money seems to indicate exactly that.

i like the idea of capping salaries and bonuses, especially if the company ain’t doing that great
