Each director, including Schmidt, also received a “commemorative gift” in fiscal 2008 valued at $7,580, as well as a cash payment to offset the tax liability of the gift.
Macrumours has a piece on the fact that Eric Schmidt has never received his payments for being a director at Apple. Although I find it interesting, I was amused by the cash payment to compensate the taxes of a gift.
I bet this could make wonders in Portuguese political and sport landscapes.
