So how about this for a “sign-on bonus”, Steve Jobs apparently was given a Gulfstream Jet when he became the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for Apple. It was one of their smaller models, but a Gulfstream none the less. It’s not as if Jobs couldn’t afford to have one himself, but if your company is going to give you a private jet, you take it.
