Everyone wants to know exactly how much money it took to lure one of Google's top executives to Yahoo. Trouble is that the numbers vary. Widely. Very widely. With base salary and compensation, the package is big, and the numbers being quoted range from $1 million to $100 million -- and just about everything in between.
