damn I didn't realize that it was that high

I would fight MUCH harder for my job if I was making $1m/yr vs $44m/yr. He's probably made about $75m after taxes as commish. That's "frick you" money. If he had made ~$3m after taxes, that's "Retire if I want to, but still be cautious about spending" type money.

He's not fighting for his job, he doesn't need to as long as the money is rolling in. The media will move on to the next big thing soon enough.
