Mozilla's CEO is paid $7m for running the "charity".
She's CEO of Mozilla foundation (charity) but also Mozilla corporation (normal business).
So? If that’s what she’s worth then you either hire her, or put up with second best. You may think CEOs are paid too much overall - I’m not disagreeing, but let’s not pretend people who work for charities should all take charity salaries. If you want to build a world class product, hire world class people - they’re not cheap.
