Michael Dell's 2008 compensation consisted of a $950,000 salary and $1.04 million in other compensation (nearly all of which was company-paid expenses related to Dell's personal and residential security). No stock or option awards were made to Dell during the company's 2008 fiscal year, which ended Feb. 1, 2008. His compensation was virtually unchanged from fiscal year 2007. The company, meanwhile, grew its revenue and profits by 6% and 14%, respectively, in fiscal '08. Revenue came in at $61.1 billion, up from $57.4 billion in 2007. Net income hit $2.9 billion, up from $2.6 billion in 2007.
