Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, has kept his salary at $81,400 since 1998, which is less than the average construction worker's pay. His salary has not adjusted for inflation and was significantly higher relative to the median salary in 1998. Bezos has opted not to receive additional compensation or stock options, stating he felt he did not need more incentive due to his substantial ownership in the company. He currently owns about 8% of Amazon, making him its largest shareholder.
