The CEO of Amazon has a $212mm compensation package. That’s what I based my estimate off. And I’m sure we can all agree that $212mm is more than “hardly any salary.” I could retire on that amount, have my alma matter name a building after me and still have more money than I know what to do with.

Jeff Bezos isn't the CEO of Amazon anymore.
What is the board supposed to do then? Dilute Bezo’s and everyone else’s holdings?
I don't think the board is doing anything wrong, personally. I just don't think Jeff Bezos' income was ever anything close to what Andy Jassy is making, for the exact same reasons that Tim Cook's income is higher than Steve Jobs'.
Divide that by 10--that's Andy's 10 year RSU grant, not his annual comp.
