Could someone explain Airbnb? Everyone has the same salary?

Brian Chesky, the CEO, gets an annual bonus of around the average of all employees salary. This is completely irrelevant as he is a co-founder and owns 10.6% of the company or around 67 million shares. So at the most recent share price that's $9.17 billion, at least on paper.

Such arrangements are common among tech companies.
