Google Masseuse makes millions - is this the ultimate 'happy ending'?

The NY Times ran a story about a newly retired house masseuse at Google who by virtue of her status as an early employee racked up multi millions in stock. God bless her. It's interesting however that the corporate world bifurcates into those companies that enrich employees and stockholders through capital appreciation and those that enrich shareholders through the payment of dividends.

Google remains a smallish player in the great scheme of corporate earnings and the time will come when it needs to reward a massively larger shareholder base with a small share of those earnings. It may be interesting to follow that transition.
