YankeeFan4Ever Posted December 4, 2012 #2 Share Posted December 4, 2012 From the article: While Arison pays himself a dividend of $90,000,000, he offered the families of the dead and traumatized Concordia passengers $15,000 each. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted December 4, 2012 #3 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Must be nice! http://www.cruiselawnews.com/tags/bonus/ Yes,,, it must be. Thinking back maybe I should have worked a little harder in school. Then again, I'm happy with my status in life. Could make more but could also be a lot worse off.

chipq Posted December 4, 2012 #4 Share Posted December 4, 2012 $90M is not what it used to be. He has to pay the salaries of the Miami Heat. The $90M probably deosn't even cover payroll. http://luv2cruise.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted December 4, 2012 #5 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Must be nice! http://www.cruiselawnews.com/tags/bonus/ Quoted by an ambulance chasing lawyer..... Not all that credible. Who cares what Mickey makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDawg Posted December 4, 2012 #11 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Actually The Board of Directors declared the Special Dividend of $.50 per share for all shareholders. Lots of companies are declaring these types of dividends as tax rates are going up next year. So, lots of tax savings to be had if the dividends are paid in 2012.:) Mikey just happens to own 180 million or so shares!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare richstowe Posted December 4, 2012 #17 Share Posted December 4, 2012 A sleazy article from a sleazy site. Arison is getting the same extra dividend that every Carnival shareholder gets on a per share basis. Yes it is an obscene amount of money but he is not enriching himself at the expense of the shareholders of the company. What is worse is CEO's getting multi million dollar bonuses as they bankrupt the company and then wait for the tax payers to bail them out. And even lower then that are ambulance chasing lawyers who feed off peoples misfortune and hold themselves up as beacons of virtue. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDoug Posted December 4, 2012 #18 Share Posted December 4, 2012 This is a special one-time $.50 per share dividend for all shareholders.

Hey, looks like I might go out to dinner tonight! :D Not quite in the realm of "Looks like I won't be going to work EVER!!" ;) Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted December 4, 2012 #20 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I have never understood why some people are so jealous of others when they are successful. His father risk everything and could have lost it all those years ago.... I am proud that the Arisons have made Carnival Corp such a success....

Met him and his kids on the Magic ceremony in Galveston. Asked one of his sons if he was a CCL employee or into cruising, he laughed, said no, and said he was into basketball.

The article also fails to mention that at least 110 companies have declared special dividends or that Micky lost about $500 million in net worth as a result of Concordia.
