Bonum Certa Men Certa

This Month Mozilla Firefox Reached Its Lowest Share (Just 3%), But CEO Baker Made a Fortune (Especially When Mozilla Sank)

Baker's salary (in USD); Firefox market; share (% of total)
This is even more obscene than the salary hikes at the Linux Foundation, which operated at a loss when it last had an IRS filing published (3 years ago)






The numbers as per the official IRS filings:

End of 2019: ~$3,070,000 End of 2018: ~$2,585,000 End of 2017: ~$2,350,000 End of 2016: ~$1,110,000 End of 2015: ~$1,020,000 End of 2014: ~$1,030,000 End of 2013: ~$800,000 End of 2012: ~$710,000 End of 2011: ~$580,000 End of 2010: ~$590,000 End of 2009: ~$590,000 End of 2008: ~$610,000

Newer numbers not yet available, but certainly that kept growing.... notice the salary trebling between 2016 and 2019 (when Firefox is collapsing)

The data sheets with the charts as OpenDocument Format (ODF).




Summary: So much for rewarding merit; as shown above, one can have one's salary grow sixfold in a decade, even when market share falls by about 90%
