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

Posted on 09/25/2014 9:13:56 PM PDT by mykroar

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.

The CEO is a pervert; a mentally disturbed man who paid an unethical, mercenary creep to chop his penis off.

It is NOT a woman.

Steve Wilson may be a brilliant engineer ...

He’s not a woman. He does not have a beautiful mind. He has a deeply disturbed, perverted mind. Calling him “she” is simply pandering to his mental illness and perversion.

BTW, this article is another example of Big Media’s continuous and consistent habit of lying.

He’s still a man. A psycho man who had himself mutilated.

Like most things in life this can be summed up with a limerick...

They can call him “her” all they want
but that doesn’t make him a chick.
With a swipe of the knife
he’s changed his whole life
but he’s still just a man with no dick.

Mr. broken record here, again: it is not a “she” or a “her”; it is a mutilated male.

Wow! A very business-savvy insane-person-who-crazily-cut-off-their-dick-because-they-had-no-clue-what-gender-they-really-were.

I guess I'd rather be poor.

Indeed - that was what I was going to say -

he’s not a “female that used to be a man”,
he’s still a male that has serious issues.

One has to wonder if genius and insanity go hand in hand soemtimes....

Also if in the days of old this is what the “court eunuchs” actually were in some fashion....
