(Stories like this just create that warm fuzzy feeling in me that I am doing an MBA and could some day be working at the top of a big corporation. Kidding...

Not in Japan. Not in India. Only in USA can executive pay be so outrageously high :)

To lure Thomson Reuters executive Devin Wenig to move across the country and take a post as President of eBay Marketplaces, the giant internet firm offered some nice goodies: 

 

1. $750,000 / year ---> Salary
2. $2.4 million ---> Restricted stock
3. $10,000 / month (temporary housing allowance)
4. Business class air fares whole family from coast to coast.
5. $1 million ---> Home purchase payment
