I definitely know people making over $2M/yr, most of it in RSUs. $10M seems like director/VP kind of money for these companies, but it doesn't seem unreasonable.
It's worth so much more in investor capital for companies to pay big bucks for the *apperance* of a technical acumen in AI that they're willing to have a very small number of high profile experts making the big dollars just to keep the money flowing in. Even if said experts are doing jack shit, are just talkers, or working their own agenda. Ultimately even $10M is chump change for these companies, they can afford it and it's not their money anyway. Investors are dumb enough to keep throwing money into the fire, so everyone is happy. Until they're not.
