I don't believe anyone on this forum is qualified to criticise Alan Sugar. He made the leap into his own business accepting the risks (only 1 in 20 new businesses survives the first year) and put his neck and finances on the line to do so. Being a CEO is not like any normal job. There are reasons why these people are well paid and it's usually tied to performance. In his own company, as was the case here, he created innovative products and literally thousands of jobs.

Congrats and thanks Alan would be more appropriate. I don't see him as greedy so much as appropriately rewarded for his contribution to industry and society as a whole.
