Who cares, their all overpaid corporate a**holes!!!
Another I thought of, Andrew Carnegie. The man was an industrial genius in revolutionizing the steel industry and an incredible philanthropist. He gave away much of his fortune for good causes, even to a pension fund for his former employees. J.D. Rockefeller is another CEO like Carnegie that comes to mind as well.
Carnegie may have been a philanthropist after he died, but he was ruthless as a business man. The same can be said for Rockefeller, he would make agreements with competitors and then screw them out of business. That's why they broke up Standard Oil, he had a near monopoly on the oil wells, the distribution, refining etc.
I heard Henry Ford's method of discharging executives was to chop up their desks. I guess they got the hint.
The thread is about the best CEO's in American history. That's what the best do.
