Since then the Alaskan crab fishing trade has looked up a little with the year 2001 bringing in 23.2-million pounds of fishing stock worth US$36-million. But crab fishing in Alaska still continues to command the highest pay packet in the world.

I think being the boss at Microsoft may beat fishing for crabs.

No it isn't Bill Gates. It isn't the diamond merchants of South Africa or the oil barons of Saudi Arabia either.

Bill Gates doesn't actually "earn" that much from Microsoft (in a relative sense), just like Steve Jobs doesn't from Apple. Their wealth comes from stock options and ownership from back in the pre .com boom.
