It depends how they're counting.

There was an example in Money Stuff this week where a CEO got a pay package "worth $110 million". It's actually made of stock options that vest if the share price went above $150, but the expected value was $110 million so that's what was reported.

…But the share price only reached $66. So in fact he was paid zero, and he quit. (Well, $1.5 million in cash.)
