Top Corporate Executives Scored Big in 2013 Rally
"You are prepared to give your lives?"
The stock market is under pressure and investors are feeling pain.
But some executives scored such stunning windfalls last year, due to 2013's market gains, that the recent troubles likely will sting a little less.
"Yes."
Warren Buffett, Jeffrey Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and a handful of other top executives notched multibillion-dollar paper gains from their companies' shares in 2013, highlighting the outsize winnings some corporate insiders made during last year's rally.
"You are prepared to commit murder?"
Mr. Buffett's holdings of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. BRKB -2.34% appreciated by $12.7 billion last year. Amazon.com Inc. AMZN -3.50% shares held by Mr. Bezos jumped by $12 billion in 2013, while the value of Mr. Zuckerberg's stake in Facebook Inc. FB -1.74% surged by $12 billion.
