That's not a bad compensation package...

Not at all. Is he worth it?

That's because Ballmer couldn't sell much while he was CEO (that would look very bad).

If I recall rightly, I recall Ballmer mentioning he was actively buying shares...But my recollection may be fuzzy (it was a year or two ago when I recall hearing it).
