Apple’s Leadership page bio on Sewell:

Last November, Sewell was awarded 150,000 bonus shares that won’t fully vest until March of 2016. Sewell joined Apple in 2009 from Intel, where he was in charge of the latter’s legal responsibilities. 

You may remember Sewell’s famous letter to Gizmodo back in April of 2010, demanding the tech site return a lost iPhone 4 prototype back to Apple.

Rich Bastard! Was given 150,000 shares and only used 5000 to make 3 mill. He could cash them all in and make 30 million. He might as well just quit in 2016 and be filthy rich. Why bother working for a yearly salary.

Just sad cause the kids at Foxconn have it horrible while these apple execs have more than they need…

Out of those 150,000 shares, half of them vest in 2013, the rest in 2016. So it’s impossible to cash out now. But yeah, it’s a tonne of money.

The real enemy of the ‘kids’ at Foxconn is not Apple or Sewell. It’s the Chinese gov’t. But also consider this: If those Chinese people should receive the same wage as the the Americans, why would Apple or the other million manufacturers go to China…they can stay home in the US and manufacture everything.

FYI: Sewell has very right to this money…infact percentage-wise he’s getting paid next to nothing compared to the wealth he’s amassing for the Apple corp.
