    Japan Airlines CEO took a salary of $1 during the downturn…but it’s more of a Japan thing

      To be fair, many US CEOs take a $1 salary, they just get a ton of stocks instead.

          Yes they do. Here are a few:

          • Mark Zuckerberg
          • Jack Dorsey
          • Larry Page

          Even those with a “typical” CEO salary usually get far more compensation through stocks (e.g. Costco’s CEO). Salary isn’t the interesting figure here.
