SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Yahoo! (NASDAQ:YHOO) today announced that it has appointed Marissa Mayer as President and Chief Executive Officer and Member of the Board of Directors effective July 17, 2012.
That's probably the lamest, well-paid job she could take.

No doubt she'll have earnt her pay many many times over if she does turn Yahoo around.
Why the "lamest"? I cannot think of a more challenging job in Silicon Valley right now ...
Mission impossible. Ist nur die Eintrittskarte in den CEO-Club. Und eine Menge Geld.
Hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

She is pregnant, first time CEO AND first time mother, not bad, I think. http://mashable.com/2012/07/16/marissa-mayer-pregnant/
Google star turns aid worker.
Finally there's a company open for pregnant job seekers.
