He gets about $150K per year in deferred compensation. He set up an insurance policy to ensure payment through 2005, regardless of how Halliburton does. He receives the check from an insurance company, not Halliburton.
He has donated ALL proceeds from stock options to three different charities. I believe the amount is in excess of $2 million.
Thanks for those specifics on Cheney. I can see him asking Edwards in their debate if Edwards dares raise the subject of Cheney's compensation from Halliburton how much Edwards has donated of HIS many millions. I want to see the smile wiped off Edwards smarmy face and hear him stutter.
