The acquisition was done in the very short reign of Leo Apotheker.

According to Wikpedia he got 7.2 M$ in severance pay, 3.56 M$
in shares and a performance bonus of 2.4 M$ when he was kicked out
after 10 months.

And he has done rather well as member/chairman of various
companies boards since then.

But he does not have 4 B$.
