It's worth remembering that El Jobs was compensated to the tune of $646 million in 2006, earning him the top spot on Forbes list that year. Grounded?

Editor's note: It can be argued that Apple's CEO is both over and under compensated. In the pantheon of excess that is CEO compensation in America, Steve's something of an also ran...
