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.

I don't think you quite get how little money it is for these types of operations, 25m is essentially missing 2-3 zeros before it becomes anywhere near usable and even worth it to bother.

State Farm’s revenue was $104.2 billion for 2023. His payment was 0.02% of the revenue. That’s basically a rounding error.

  • Wouldn't it make more sense to compare it to profit rather than revenue? They suffered a $6.3 billion dollar net loss in 2023.

    • I don’t know. Profit (mostly?) matters to investors and the company’s substantially.

      His pay was 0.39% of the loss. Still a drop in the ocean imho.

      Should he have been paid less ? Or more? I don’t know.

      But what I do know is when people get upset at stock buybacks or CEO pay, the act like if the company didn’t do these things the company would be drastically different.
