Last year’s grueling housing market took a bite out of Lennar boss Stuart Miller’s compensation.The Lennar president and chief executive earned his perennial $1 million in salary for 2007, but he received no bonus (after a $4.7 million bonus in 2006 and a $21.8 million bonus in 2005) and he forfeited almost $10 million in restricted stock because the company failed to turn a profit last year.Miller didn’t get any restricted stock in 2006; The Miami Herald calculated his 2006 compensation as $9.16 million.Miller consistently ranks as one of South Florida’s highest paid executives. But that is in jeopardy after a year in which Lennar lost $1.9 billion and it shares sank about 70 percent.- PATRICK DANNER

… I created Lennar’s (1999/2000?) Annual Report, with Stuart Miller and his team (CFO, COO, CEO, etc.) over one (1!) weekend, back when I was at the Ad Team … Fun? nope. But I learned how design an annual report in 3 days. Viva Zev!

“Nor will I forget catching Marilyn Manson at The Fillmore with Kayce and Christian and Hash Ash. Christian, poor lad, had the dubious pleasure of swinging with me for Foo Fighters, Hash swung with me and a slew for one of those Lates with The Gaz. Kayce knew better. And during a banter-quick post-show pizza at Rosinella, and a post-pizza cocktail or three at The Deuce, she showed she still does — and always will. “
