Facebook, a goose that lays golden eggs for Zuckerberg

The research company GMI Ratings has published the ranking of the best bosses paid to the United States . And the least we can say is that to be the boss and founder of Facebook brings in a lot, a lot of money.

Mark Zuckerberg is the patron saint of the highest paid in North America. In 2012, he would have won nearly $ 2.8 billion.

A double record, when we know that GMI Ratings integrates for the first time in its ranking of the top billion annual revenue. Zuckerberg is more than far its "competitors". The second boss of the ranking would have won only half of its revenue. Tim Cook , Apple CEO, integrates, for its part, fifth place in the ranking. Small player ...

For two annual billionaires, almost no need to pay. Of the 2.28 billion earned by Zuckerberg, only 500,000 dollars from his salary. The rest comes from the fruit of his stock options. The boss of Facebook has also decided to reduce that salary to $ 1 in 2013. Sure that is really more than $ 500 000, at this level.
