Your title is misleading because you're comparing Job's annual salary with Cook's total compensation. If you read the fine print of the article, it clearly states that Cook's annual salary "remained at about $800,000."

Later down, the article also shares that Jobs "holds about 5.5 million shares in the company and hasn’t sold any since rejoining." If you wanted to extrapolate Job's current worth based on Apple stock, it would be roughly $1.8 bil. ($334 / share * 5.5mil shares)

Anyway, I'm not sure what you were trying to point out with this article, but I don't think Job's is being short-changed. The $1 salary is mainly a PR stunt.

But Jobs received no stock this year. Cook received tons ($52.3 million to be exact).
