Highest-paid female CEO used to be a man
Yahoo Finance ^ | 9/24/14 | Nicole Goodkind

Martine Rothblatt, a 59 year old entrepreneur and space lawyer, is the highest paid female executive in America. She made $38 million last year as the CEO of United Therapeutics (UTHR); a $6 billion biotech firm she founded to find a treatment for pulmonary hypertension after her daughter was diagnosed with the disease.

Rothblatt's compensation is based largely on stock performance. Last year, her company received FDA approval for a medicine they had been working on for 10 years. The stock more than doubled and Rothblatt's compensation rose by a multiple of four. “I think this [pay structure] is in the best interest of the shareholders,” she says. “There’s a mantra about corporate governance about pay-for-performance so I said ‘okay I’ll take the risk that 100% of my bonus compensation will be based upon stock market performance.’”

Last year, just $992,678 of Rothblatt's total compensation was from her base salary. She earned another $36,097,326 in option awards and $1,102,907 in non-equity incentive plan compensation. In 2012, Rothblatt made $8 million in total compensation.

Martine Rothblatt was also a man until 1994 when she underwent sex reassignment surgery at the age of 40, so she has a unique perspective on gender in the workplace.

There's more....if you really feel like punishing yourself.

I think she/he needs to shell out some more coin. That’s not convincing in the least.

I take it that I’m supposed to now realize how ‘normal’ these types of sick perversions are becuase s/he pulls in the big bucks.

Nice try Nicole, but no sale.

“Martine Rothblatt was also a man until 1994”

He still is; he just got himself gelded and became a eunuch.

That is a dude. A little screwed up in the head though. Maybe this is an understatement.

Maybe he is brilliant. Why not take advantage of society to get himself ahead in society and impossible to fire.

Most of the computers in the world are powered by the ARM processor.(most smart phones and most embedded systems)

The creator of the ARM is Sophie Wilson... formerly Steve Wilson.

Sophie is not a striking physical beauty but she certainly has a beautiful mind!

I disagree completely. I think she makes a very convincing woman. In the clip where's she's talking to that old guy in the ponytail, she looks and sounds quite feminine.

Well, with the photos I have seen of Martine and Sophie I bet men are all lined up to marry the rich "women".

If twisted, demented, disgusting, and sick is what you like. Then yes. I guess you could call that beautiful.

I find your comment very sickening, and disgusting. Just FYI.

Rothblatt is quite the character, and founder of the Terasem Movement.

He is NOT female. He can be properly defined as effeminate or perhaps ieven feminine but he is not FEMALE. That has to do with DNA. He did not change his DNA, just his geography.
