Microsoft Corporation's Steve Ballmer took a jab at Oracle CEO Larry Ellison's compensation in an article in The Times. Despite being a billionaire, Larry Ellison took home a pay package valued at $61.2 million and stock option gains of nearly $182 million for the year ending May 31. Meanwhile, Mr. Ballmer was not awarded any stock options and his pay and bonus totalled a mere $980,000. "I'm sort of like a parent to this little child and I'm a large stakeholder in Microsoft," Ballmer told The Times. "And I certainly feel like if I do a good job I'll be well rewarded in the appreciations of our shares."
