Isn't this an exceptionally high compensation even among American CEOs? This makes him what, the second highest paid CEO after Sundar, twice as well compensated as Tim Cook? For Reddit estimated at 6 billion? It's not obvious from the article but is this a one time thing stretched out over years?

Which probably means he has no faith in the company's stock or else he would have taken stock options instead of taking it all in cash.


It's almost all stock with an estimated fictional value. As stated in the article.
