[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Half a million is an insane salary for working for a non-profit.  She is independently wealthy and does not need this money. it is half a million that could be spent on finding a cure for cancer(tm) rather than paying for her extravagant lifestyle.

Anyone who raises money for this charity rather than one that actually prioritizes research is a fool.[/quote]

[b]This is a stupid comment[/b].  There are numerous CEOs of nonprofits that make as much as she does.  Large nonprofits pay their CEOs less than CEOs of comparable size for profit businesses, which is fine.  Look at local hospitals, colleges, universities, etc.  All are charitable.  The idea that SK does not prioritize research is silly.  SK does.  SK also provides grants to organizations that provide services to low income women (ie, PP).  So, should SK not continue to fund PP.  The PP funding was not for research.   SK, in fact, has raised substantial sums of money for research.  SK is a great organization, though SK clearly made a mistake here.[/quote]

Bit your tongue (or finger tips as the case may be).

It's perfectly valid to question the salary of executives at tax-exempt non-profits and to call out those that start acting like for-profit entities. Many hospitals and colleges and universities shouldn't be paying THEIR top people that much either. I don't give to those either because it suggests too much of my contribution is going to line their pockets and not the mission.[/quote]
