There’s no sign here in the Top 12 of Steve Ballmer, Microsoft’s CEO, or the CEOs of Google, Yahoo, Adobe, Symantec, AMD or others – but you can be certain they didn’t go home empty handed. As the Fortune Apple blog notes, Forbes has a specific methodology to figure out who got paid what, something that’s important given Steve Jobs only takes home an ‘official’ US $1 per year.
