Techie bigwigs settled for a buck each

What do you think is the common denominator among Steve Jobs, Jerry Yang, Larry Page and Sergey Brin?

Aside from being founders and top executives of their respective IT companies, these techie moguls have each received the same amount of meager salary last year.

Steve Job is Apple Inc.'s founder and CEO. Ditto with Jerry Yang, who found Yahoo Inc. and served as its CEO until 2008. On the other hand, Larry Page and Sergey Brin are Google Inc.'s co- founders and leading executives.

All of them were paid just US$1 salary each in 2008 by their respective companies.
