Miss C., It is worse than that. Blankenship has his own enemies who want him out of Massey Energy. "Massey paid Blankenship $33.7 million last year, approximately four times the average for chief executives at other coal companies. And Blankenship has averaged $15.6 million a year from 2003 through 2005, or about three times the average pay of top coal companies.
Moreover, Third Point wants to get rid of perks such as a jet Blankenship is allowed to use for business and pleasure, and a $305,000 house he is expected to receive as a retirement gift." Third Point is a hedge fund notorius for buying into a company and replacing its management. http://www.wkyt.com/Global/story.asp?S=4905913&nav=4CAL

I think his CEO compensation is in the 5M range...no wonder Massey's stock has been so volatile recently! This is "Leona Helmsley"-type behavior...
