A CEO's pay is often a function of the organization's budget.

Mozilla has a huge budget, so it's not terribly surprising that some well-paid person is in charge of it.

(Somehow Mozilla's CEO's pay has managed to increase while the organization's budget has been decreasing. This is inexplicable and unjustified.)

Regardless of how well- or over-paid Mozilla's CEO is, though, she is not adding comensurate value to the organization, and I invite her to earn $3MM elsewhere starting tomorrow.

OTOH, if tomorrow she announces The Mozilla Fund, and reveals that they've been accumulating excess budget (tens, hundreds of $MM/yr) into a permanent trust that will support perpetual development of Firefox and related technologies at a secure withdrawal rate -- and that all has been done legally from an accounting and tax perspective, and that we've all just overlooked it in the annual reports ... then I nominate her for Chairperson Emeritus who can keep her stupid salary, and hire a clueful product person as CEO.
