Even if Yahoo dissolves entirely its CEO will still make bank - CNET

Yahoo may still be painfully losing the war for web ads, mindshare and hot new products, but that won't be a problem for CEO Marissa Mayer. Yahoo's chief executive could get a $59 million payout even if the company is gobbled up by rivals and she ends up unceremoniously sacked, the Guardian reported Tuesday, based on Yahoo's most recent proxy statement.

The same report claims Mayer has already brought home $78 million since she became CEO in 2012, according to stock analyst firm MSCI. The potential addition of $59 million would bring Mayer's total eaings during her tenure at the troubled Inteet firm to $137 million.
