Speaking of salaries, back in the 1970's a fellow by the name of Robert Townsend took Avis out of their financial doldrums and put them second to Hertz in the car rental business.
When he became President of Avis, he set his own salary at $30,000 per year, a modest, yet substantial, sum at the time. The Board of Directors told him it wasn't enough, he should pay himself at least $50,000.
