I take your point Tumbler.
Between GM and Satu )as a couple) they will continue to take circa £300,000 pa plus supposed milestone bonuses up to retirement l guess, so yea deals are very important albeit little in the way of direct shareholdings. Perhaps the lack of direct equity profitability is made up by this?
Additionally and just speculating, if a 401 or 201 or indeed 301 deal is cemented, perhaps they may be offered share options?
I think being scientists and less of being capitalists, it is the science fame that they want to show as a legacy.
Just my own thoughts of course as l know many academics that are not in it for the money.
