in 2018, mozilla had 368 million USD in assets:

2018 financials: https://assets.mozilla.net/annualreport/2018/mozilla-fdn-201...

wow, 2.5 million for the executive chair of Mozilla in 2018. is that person really bringing 2.5 millions dollar worth of value to the company. this is in addition to the 2.x million from the year before. 10s of million exfiltrated out of a non-profit by one person over the last few years. nice job if you can get it.

edit: 1 million USD in 2016 and before.jumped to 2.3 million in 2017! pg8 of form 990 available at https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/about/public-records/

Change the number and this will apply to most CEOs.

According to these numbers, CEOs work 204 times as hard as regular employees.

That's an interesting (and ridiculous) way to spin the numbers.

One doesn't have to work x times harder to bring x times more value to a company.

They said that on purpose. They are (implied) criticizing, on their own terms, something they said themselves. Strawnman parrying.
