"LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman could net roughly $855 million, and CEO Jeffrey Weiner could be worth as much as $103.5 million, when the company goes public Thursday, according to documents filed with the SEC.\nHoffman owns a total of 19,066,032 shares in the company. With the share price estimated to be as high as $45, he will easily net more than half a billion dollars.  Weiner, a former Yahoo executive who joined LinkedIn in 2009, holds 2,322,726 shares, or 2.5% of the shares, compared to Hoffman\u2019s 21.2%. \nOthers benefiting the most from tomorrow's IPO include \u201Centities affiliated with Sequoia Capital,\" who will net $588 million at a $35 share price and their counterparts at Greylock Partners and Bessemer Venture Partners, who will get about $490 million and $158 million, respectively.\nThe documents also show that Weiner was paid $541,436 in salary and bonuses in 2010. That figure, which includes a $290,194 bonus, will likely increase in 2011; his base salary is already set to jump to $450,000. \nHalf of Weiner\u2019s bonus is based on the company\u2019s revenues, unique visitors, members, page views and earnings before taxes, depreciation and amortization (ebitda). The other half is based on the board of directors' judgement of his ability to lead. However, it's worth noting that Weiner is also a member of LinkedIn\u2019s board, and there are only seven people on it."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
