I can't tell if they posted his income to say he is paid too much or too little... It's a weird thing to include, it didn't seem to fit the article at all.

Poor guy getting shot at and doesn't even make a million a year. Absolute tragedy.

They mention a yearly bonus of around $200k in addition to his $550k/yr salary, but he may very well receive additional bonuses for meeting sales quotas or god knows what else. Not to mention stock options, which are given to every executive as a kind of tax-free additional salary.

All that to say, I wouldn’t feel too bad for him.

Plenty of CEOs taking $1 salary and hundreds of millions in stocks. Salary is usually not a big component of total compensation at that level.
