Title: Setting the record straight
Review: Dear Sirs:I am the author of Dirty Rotten CEOs, and I must point out a serious error in the review posted by the anonymous reader from Mount Kisco, N.Y. He states that the highest paid executive in 2001 was Michael Dell, not Larry Ellison, and takes me to task for that mistake. But it is the reader who is dead wrong. The top earner in 2001 was indeed Larry Ellison, whose total compensation for 2001 was $ 706.1 million. (Michael Dell was a distant second in 2001, at $201.3 million.) Those figures come from Forbes magazine, May 13, 2002, p 116, and were reprinted in my book on page 25.In view of that drastic error, I would like to request that his review be removed . Yes, there were some regrettable but minor errors in my book (corrected in the subsequent edition). But the reader committed a whopper, using figures from the wrong year! I would suggest you kill that review, or print my reply immediately after it.Sincerely,William G. Flanagan
