The award is for 61000 shares, which would have been worth $212M as of the 12/31/2021 share price. It's worth far less now. Quite frankly, this is as sensible of a comp package for a CEO as one could propose. Compensated in p

"The main reason people live there is to feel remote and rural. It is a way of life." Marin County is one of the most segregated counties in the Bay Area, and by design from legacy housing policies. It's hard to ignore the fa

About ~10% of AirBnbs shares were offered in the IPO. So only the shares sold in the IPO "left anything on the table". The other 90% of shareholders still have the option of selling at the higher market price. Who's the say t

God I hate idiotic articles like this. I'm pretty sure the definition of "paycheck-to-paycheck" doesn't mean having "difficulty" (only $4500 of cushion!) affording discretionary and luxury expenses like "w
