That's not how it works. All the top wigs have stocks in the company, so yes it is a reward to put that kinda price up for the company.

So Microsoft's intention was to give out a reward and not acquire a company?

Not the intention. Probably hoped there would have been more backlash to pay a lower price for the company. But as it happened, it is a reward for all Kotick's hard work. His net worth is $600 million. I doubt he's worried about what Phil is going to do....

This says his net worth is 8 billion lol

He still has 4.6 million shares in the company

And all those shares are now secure with that mega deal.
