Fund. Kudo$.
The Cheater: Once again, everyone, once you’re a CEO, the strategy is to perform just poorly enough to get a really bitchin’ severance package. See also, Eisner (Disney, $220 million), Nardelli (Home Depot, $210M), Raines (Fannie Mae, $148M), McKinnell (Pfizer, $213M), Satan (Heaven, $666M).
