The $1.00 CEO. Why did Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg ask for a $1.00 salary in 2013? He’s worth almost $28 billion, so he doesn’t need a big paycheck. But this might also have shown shareholders that he values his work for its own sake. Such intrinsic motivation can inspire you to reach your goals more than can extrinsic motivators (such as a big salary).
