"Torvalds earns about 10 million per year"

I'm curious how he earns so much? That seems like a lot for someone who is associated with FOSS, even if they are so influential/skilled.

Red Hat gave him a bunch of stock way back when. I'd guess whatever he makes at the Linux Foundation is a rounding error compared to that.

Ah, that makes more sense.

Yeah, shocked the heck out of me, if accurate.
