Looks like Sony is overpaying for their CEO....

Is he really overpaid if Sony earned $80B in revenue over the past year versus Nintendo with $5.6B?

Nintendo earned in 2009 aproximately 5.6 billion US$. It has less than 5000 employees, so each one produces more than 1 million US$. I think Iwata and Miyamoto more than deserve their paychecks.

I very much agree.

not at all

 

IWATA and many companies head take small checks to show they are earning very less

 

but they take in much more throught shares


Yea those share deals are always shaddy to me.  Companies issue them shares for free then they can sell them later.

You are totaling all of Sony revenue when he just oversees the Americas.  How much revenue has Sony made in Americas only?  Iwata is overseeing the entire Nintendo company.

I was about to come in and say that puts Howard Stringers $9m into persepctive...

no need now.

 


doesn't matter much as IWATA would be earning much more after the profit on his shares

Pah, even with shares added to the mix, it's PEANUTS compared to what Yamuchi's made off Nintendo during his career. XD

Is he not the CEO, responsible for overseeing the entire business of Sony?
