This. I am okay showing total comp, but the numbers also seem...weird? Like Zuck makes $1/year salary. $27m/year which is mostly security expenses if I remember correctly, but has by far the largest net worth (of those listed) which is what people care about. And his stock appreciation is vastly higher than that shown.

I think the problem with net worth is it's hard to reason about. Some people think billionaires could pay for everything if only we stole their money, when it turns out they don't have money, or not much in the grand scheme of public spending. It's just slightly too divorced from reality to make good instinctive decisions.

However it does make for good shock jock value.
