ABSTRACT

Al Dunlap was certainly paid like a superstar. He came away with $100 million after 20 months of work at Scott Paper Company. Critics accused Dunlap of enriching himself at the expense of thousands of laid-off employees. But Dunlap proudly pointed out that he had increased Scott’s shareholder value from $2.5 billion to $9 billion. “My $100 million was less than 2 percent of the wealth I created for all Scott shareholders,” Dunlap wrote. “Did I earn that? Damn right I did.”2
