So they're making $150-300k per year, with more for severance. That is indeed relatively low compared to major tech companies.
The article's examples were Docusign (CEO made $85M) and Google (CEO made $225M).
$150-300k makes sense. $225M does not. It's obscene and absurd.
the difference between $225M and 300k is $224.7M
