Sergey Brin & Larry Page to Get One-dollar Salary in 2007

The three billionaire bosses of Google - Sergey Brin, Larry Page and Eric Schmidt - are to earn just $1 in salary this year, according to a filing with the Securities Exchange Commission.

The decision marks the third consecutive year that Schmidt, Google's chief executive, and co-founders Page and Brin have limited their salaries to $1 only.
