Talk About the Pot Calling the Kettle Black

From the Financial Times:

Activist investor Jeff Ubben urges ‘fix’ for Silicon Valley


Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Corporate compensation and inurement is out of whack. I agree.

But it is ironic, to say the least, that a guy who comes out of an industry in which the top 10 managers each earn more than $1b a year - doing nothing but taking levered bets on other peoples money - has the gall to criticize the $100m salary of the guy who managed to build a globally ubiquitious business increasing its shareholder wealth from $36b to $367b company in less than ten years.


I say pox on both their homes.
