Philip Morris International is one of the big tobacco companies. You’ve probably heard of them. Until
recently, they were owned by a parent company called Altria. The Chairman and CEO of Philip Morris
International, Mr. Louis Camilteri, had to take a cut in base salary as of January 30, 2008 when Altria
launched Philip Morris as a stand-alone company.
Poor baby — his salary dropped from $1,750,000 per year
to only $1.5 million.
Damn, that must have hurt!
But, you are helping out the impoverished Mr. Camilteri
more than you may realize. For the year 2007, this shining example of executive coolness was paid an
annual incentive award of $4.75 million (that was 271% of his base salary), and also a long-term
incentive payment of more than $5 million. Do you know why good old Mr. Camilteri was paid all this
money on top of his barely-adequate base salary? BECAUSE YOU SMOKE!
Do you want to stop yet? If so, Click This Link To Quit Smoking This Afternoon! Compared to how much you spend each
year on cigarettes, this is cheap. Really cheap. And, not a penny of the price goes into Mr. Camilteri’s
pockets.
Need more reasons to quit? There’s another big tobacco company called British American Tobacco, or BAT
for short. This company hides the exact amount of compensation it pays its executives in the many-paged
annual report it issues. However, inquiring minds can come up with a pretty good minimum estimate. In
2007, BAT paid compensation to the members of its board of directors and its management board
(a total of 21 hard-working executives) as a group, 25 million British pounds. That works out to about
$50 million divided among this group of cool dudes who love the fact that you can’t stop smoking.
Ready to quit wasting your money, shortening your life, and tell tobacco executives where to shove it?
