Steve Jobs loved Apple so much that he was paid only $1 dollar a year as the salary or so the myth goes. But if Jobs got only $1 for working at Apple from between 1997 and 2011 – that’s just over $10. But when you are one of the owners of the company and a billionaire, salaries aren’t all that necessary. Jobs owned 5.6 million shares in Apple and when Tim Cook took over in late 2011 he was awarded one million shares worth $376 million.
