They do get other financial rewards though (not only shares which in itself are worth a fortune).
Read an article about it a couple of weeks ago.

I'm sure they do, but it's a nice wink to the corporate world with all the major executive salaries.

Here's more. Online is ~ 3-4% of the ad market. I'm guessing that Google can take some share from others in the online space, as well as take share from traditional media.

quote: Google gains bode ill for radio and TV Search engine reports $369.2 mil quarterly profit By BLOOMBERG The eye-popping revenue and profit growth reported last Thursday by the most-used Internet search engine -- profit up more than five-fold to $369.2 million for the quarter and sales nearly doubling to $1.26 billion -- came from surging Internet advertising. "The numbers from Google are, by any definition, spectacular," said Bob Parker, deputy chairman of Credit Suisse Asset Management in London, which oversees $335 billion. "There's going to be a clear shift from radio and TV advertising to Internet advertising. That clearly benefits companies like Google." The stock, sold to the public at $85, rose $11.59 to close Friday at $215.81 in Nasdaq composite trading after earlier surging to $224. That surpassed the previous record of $216.80 after last quarter's earnings report. Yahoo, which this week also reported a surge in profit and record sales, fell 71¢ to $35.16. The increase in Google's stock price pushed the company's market value to $60 billion, more than media congloms such as Viacom and Disney, not to mention industrial icons such asGeneral Motors, Ford and Hewlett-Packard. Google shares are worth $275 to $290 each, Goldman, Sachs analyst Anthony Noto in New York said Friday. Noto, the top-ranked Internet analyst by Institutional Investor magazine, called Google's earnings report "outstanding." Record revenue from Google and Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Yahoo illustrates the growing shift of advertising spending from traditional media such as newspapers and broadcast television. Internet advertising "is probably about 3 or 4 percent of worldwide spending but growing very rapidly," WPP Group chief executive officer Martin Sorrell said. WPP is the world's second-biggest advertising company. "We are seeing it overtake radio, for example, in the U.K. and online purchasing is growing at a prodigious rate in the U.S.," Sorrell said. Google's quarterly sales eclipse the combined revenue of the New York Times, the third-largest U.S. newspaper company and Dow Jones, publisher of the Wall Street Journal.

Google Market Cap > Disney is a bubble. Internet advertising is growing, but still nowhere near the size of TV. Google Market Cap > Biggest Radio Conglomerate is justifiable.

I don't know, dude. I can't help but agree with you, but following a simple NPV calculator that I put together before Google's IPO, you can get to the current valuations pretty easily. Just plunk in a 10% discount rate and 30% net margins.

At a minimum, I think that could be a wrong view.
