[Analysis: Tim Cook Earned Nearly $2.4 Billion in Compensation Over 15 Years as Apple CEO, with Stock Awards Accounting for Over 90%] BlockBeats News, September 7, according to a report by Prism, Tim Cook earned approximately $2.397 billion in total compensation during his tenure as Apple CEO from fiscal year 2011 to 2025, equivalent to about 16.1 billion RMB. Of this, the value of stock awards at the time of vesting was approximately $2.221 billion, accounting for about 93% of the total compensation; salary, cash bonuses, and other compensation totaled approximately $176 million. The report noted that Cook's high compensation sparked shareholder controversy during his tenure. In 2022, Apple's executive compensation plan for fiscal year 2021 received only 64% shareholder approval. Subsequently, Apple reduced Cook's target compensation and increased the proportion of performance-linked stock awards. With Cook stepping down as CEO and transitioning to the role of Executive Chairman of Apple's Board, his compensation has been further adjusted. The currently disclosed plan shows his annual salary will decrease from $3 million to $2 million, and stock awards will drop from $50 million to $45 million, totaling approximately $47 million. Meanwhile, the new CEO, John Ternus, will receive an annual stock award of $55 million, continuing the equity-incentive-focused compensation structure. [Original Link]
