12 HUGE Salaries of Tech Executives

I’m not really sure if that goes for everyone in the tech business, but it sure is true for the 12 people listed below, who are being paid enough money to buy them a small country. If not a country, at least an island. One with pirates for sure. Man I wish I owned some pirates…
