Lets pretend the CEO made $0 over 2 years and that $50m goes to what?

- $350 annual bonus to the 67,000 employees?

- Lower the cost of the 91 million policies by $0.27 per year each?

- Cover an additional 50 homes in California?

Where should it go?

They bank it as any insurance company should do. Invest it cautiously. Hire sound decent people to run it with solid levels of accountability (including from a board of directors that is mostly made up of a rotating number of clients). Do it from the beginning of the company. Grow your staff slowly. Build enough of a cushion that can last the company years. Right? Right?

I'd run that company well for $250k/annually + benefits (an enormous amount of money).

    I hope they aren't investing that capital. AFAIK, insurance capital needs to be liquid, for it to be ready for a payout.

    You still didn't address my point is that $25m/yr is a drop in the ocean. "investing $25m properly" will have zero impact on the business.

    • It will have atleast be > than zero, and doing it every year instead of giving it away to some overpriced CEO will it will accumulate.
