Ever Wonder How Much EA Honcho Made Last Year?

Here's a hint, much less than Activision boss Bobby Kotick, much less — like half of what the Activision exec made.

The horror!

EA's John Riccitiello received US$6,365,823 in compensation during 2008. To recap: Bobby Kotick made over $14 million, while Riccitiello only made $6 million. Only.

So if you happen to see Riccitiello out on the town, do the man a favor and buy him a round or get him a sandwich. We worry about how he manages. Oh, right. The stock options he liquidated last year for $7 million, that's how.
