You wouldn’t think that people with such influence would have such a low salary – but there is a reason behind it.

你一定想不到这些鼎鼎有名的大人物却拿着如此低廉的薪水，但这背后是有原因的。

Despite founding Facebook,Mark Zuckerberg takes home just $1 a year for his salary.

尽管如此，Facebook创始人马克扎克伯格每年还是仅带回家1美元的薪水。

He’s joined a small but influential group of ‘dollar-a-year men’. People who head up big businesses and organisations, but don’t want a massive salary.

他加入了一个虽小却颇有影响的“一年只赚一美元的男人帮组织，这个男人帮的成员都是大企业和机构的领头人，但不拿高薪。

Their ranks include CEOs, socialites and governors, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Michael Bloomberg.

组织中有首席执行官、社会名流、州长阿诺德·施瓦辛格和迈克尔•布隆伯格等。

The tradition began with business executives helping out the US government during periods of war. The law forbids the government from accepting the services of unpaid volunteers.

这一传统始于企业高管在战争时期支援帮助美国政府。法律禁止政府接受无偿志愿者的服务。
