Yahoo said in an amendment to its annual report that CEO Jerry Yang was paid $1 for 2007. The company added the amendment since it won't be able to file its proxy statement 120 days after its fiscal year.
Yang's $1 salary is in keeping with other technology executives that own a big chunk of their companies. For instance, Apple CEO Steve Jobs also has a salary of $1.
