Bob Mansfield, the Apple VP in charge of the iPod and iPhone divisions has just sold off 99% of his company fortunes which netted him nearly $14 million. Who needs a salary?

Mansfield sold 38,863 shares of Apple stock priced at a weighted average of $351.89 for a total of almost $13.7 million. Mansfield held onto 501 shares of Apple, or roughly one percent of his Apple portfolio.

James first bit into Apple when his mom and dad bought an Apple IIe in 1986. He switched to Wintel in the mid 90s when Apple was in a tailspin and back again to an iBook in 2005 when things were looking brighter. Hopefully there is no turning back to the dark side now.
