I think he is doing a great job.
Where are his stock bonuses?
Must be a bit weird to be earning less than other execs when you are the boss...

so Tim Cook is poorer than Angela Ahrendts or Eddy Cue ???

The above figures is what the person awarded this year, not what they own. Remember Cook was awarded a 1 million share grant when he took over as CEO (this was in addition to the shares he owned before as COO).

the 1 million allocation of shares was counted towards his 2011 salary (which was $376 million).

Hmm, Kobe Bryant makes 23.5 million this year to dribble and shoot a basketball!:eek: What is the world coming to?

"Them that's gots is them that gets." Tell us, Brother Ray.

Anyway, FWIW, the stock compensation numbers are a tad deceiving. A large portion of the RSUs are performance-based and vest over time, meaning the executive has to remain with the company for a number of years to receive those grants.

Not surprised especially since he gave consumers less while charging more = more profit.

He got a crap-ton of stock in the previous year that has been on the up-swing of late, so let's not feel to bad for him.



"poor" is not a word I would ever use in comparison of any of those people.

That is surely correct, but still is this amount very moderate compared to 84 Million of Satya Nadella's salary ;), - and I am sure he's got a certain amount of MS shares as well.
