You really know when you finally get lucky and work for a CEO like that where you aren't so worried what he makes because you see first hand what he has built up (fyi where CEO makes or breaks companies is in M&A stuff) and he has done a good job of getting buy in all around. It also helps when your company actually makes something instead of an unicorn just allowing people to post pics of their breakfast so the CEO is less likely just another sociopath just looking to get out while the getting is good. Sure this guy probably isn't all rosy but sounds more like it than say a Kirt McMaster.
