Berkshire's 40 Years Wisdom of Life 5: CEO Pay



"Getting fired can produce a particularly bountiful payday for a CEO. Indeed, he can “earn” more in that single day, while cleaning out his desk, than an American worker earns in a lifetime of cleaning toilets. Forget the old maxim about nothing succeeding like success: Today, in the executive suite, the all too-prevalent rule is that nothing succeeds like failure." -- Warren Buffett, Letter To Shareholders, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., 2005
