He must have deserved it, look at what he's accomplished over the years;
$1:
For years, the Motion Picture Association of America has been pushing legislation to ratchet up copyright enforcement. In 2008, the association helped push through the PRO-IP Act, which allowed the federal government to seize domain names used for copyright infringement and created a new federal copyright czar. This year, the MPAA is a leading force in the campaign for "rogue sites" legislation, which would give the federal government broad powers to target sites with minimal judicial oversight.
I'm sure the $85 million he gets will be a drop in the bucket compared to what his company will earn now that all those filthy pirates are going to get crushed by the US government!
