While CEO of Microsoft in 2009, Ballmer earned a total compensation of $1,276,627
so that would be 5% of 300.000 = 15000 dollar + 9% of 776627 = 69896 making a total of 76779 in taxes, so he would more than recoup his 100.000 in less than 2 years....
and of course in relation to his fortune of roughly 14.5 billion the 100.000 is peanuts but so is the tax....
