> Japanese CEO salaries are famously very low. The Toyota CEO makes about USD 3.5m

I'm genuinely curious: Do you not see how insane it is that you believe this is low? Earning even a tenth of that would be stratospherically high.

Toyota is a huge company though. It's nothing like Mozilla. I would imagine there's a lot of responsibility riding on it. And I'd imagine that in Japanese culture badly performing CEOs actually face consequences.

It’s all relative. Compared to their western counterparts, these numbers are low.
