I choose Lowes, as an example, since I worked there for 5 years, and still own a bit of stock in the company.

Lowes has 1,018,776,409 shares of stock available.

Lets round down to 1 billion.

Niblcok made 18.7 million last year, which means his compensation costs me less than 2 cents for every share of stock I own. I've owned the stock for about 3 years, and it has doubled, so most shareholders really don't have anything to be upset about.
