You wouldn’t think that people with such influence would have such a low salary – but there is a reason behind it.
你一定想不到这些鼎鼎有名的大人物却拿着如此低廉的薪水,但这背后是有原因的。
Despite founding Facebook,Mark Zuckerberg takes home just $1 a year for his salary.
尽管如此,Facebook创始人马克扎克伯格每年还是仅带回家1美元的薪水。
He’s joined a small but influential group of ‘dollar-a-year men’. People who head up big businesses and organisations, but don’t want a massive salary.
他加入了一个虽小却颇有影响的“一年只赚一美元的男人帮组织,这个男人帮的成员都是大企业和机构的领头人,但不拿高薪。
Their ranks include CEOs, socialites and governors, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Michael Bloomberg.
组织中有首席执行官、社会名流、州长阿诺德·施瓦辛格和迈克尔•布隆伯格等。
The tradition began with business executives helping out the US government during periods of war. The law forbids the government from accepting the services of unpaid volunteers.
这一传统始于企业高管在战争时期支援帮助美国政府。法律禁止政府接受无偿志愿者的服务。
Zuckerberg doesn’t take a salary – but he DEFINITELY makes money from Facebook
扎克伯格不拿薪水——但他肯定从Facebook赚钱
In fact he doubled his money from 2013-2014. How did he manage that? Shares.
其实从2013-2014年他的钱翻了一倍。他是怎么做到的?投资股票。
His holding worth in Facebook is $27bn. When he needs cash, he sells off a chunk of them. The company also pays all of his travel and security costs.
他的Facebook价值270亿美元。当他需要现金时,他就卖一支股票,该股票公司还支付他的一切旅行和保安费用。
He's not even the most famous $1 a year man
在一年只拿1美元薪水的人中,他还不是最有名的
Famously, Apple founder Steve Jobs returned to the then-struggling company in 1997, and refused to take a salary. In fact, he went further and didn't even cash in his Apple shares.
众所周知,苹果创始人史蒂夫·乔布斯于1997年公司发展困难期回到公司,并拒绝拿公司薪水,更没有拿苹果公司股票。
He ended up doing a decent job, making Apple the most profitable company in the world for several years.
他最终做了一份体面的工作,短短几年的时间就把苹果公司发展成为世界上最赚钱的公司。

So don't always judge people by their salaries. Though you'd normally need a whole load of lucrative stock options to make a $1 paypacket stretch for a year.
正常虽需要用1美元买入一支股票来赚取这一年的丰厚利润,但不要总用工资标准来衡量一个人。
