The bonuses must be rewards for shipping all those great products on time. This week, Microsoft handed out almost $1 billion worth of
stock-based bonuses to more than 900 company executives. Eight top executives took home a total of $81.4 million, with the highest bonus-
-$22.5 million--going to Microsoft Business Division President Jeff Raikes. Other massive payouts include $8.4 million to Entertainment
and Devices Division President Robert Bach, $4.5 million to Human Resources Senior Vice President Lisa Brummel, $18 million to Platforms Group Co-President Kevin Johnson, $3.8 million to CFO Christopher Liddell, $7.1 million to General Counsel Brad Smith, and $16.2 million to COO Kevin Turner. Sadly, Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer don't receive bonuses under the company's compensation program. I hope they've saved
up enough for retirement.
