Tim Cook to Receive $750 Million Worth of Apple's Stock This Week

The installment will consist of 5 million shares of Apple's stock, equating to be around worth $750 million, according to Bloomberg. Last year, Cook received restricted stock units worth up to $114 million, ensuring he'll remain CEO until at least 2025.

Cook, aged 60, has a net worth of roughly $1.5 billion according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index. Though a billionaire, Cook's compensation for 2020 was among the most modest compared to other high-paid tech CEOs. In 2020, Cook received $14.7 million, according to SEC filings.

The CEO has said in the past he donates a portion of his salary and compensation to charitable organizations and plans to give most of his wealth away.

That is such a good image choice, @samifathi 🤣

The way his shirt blends in with the background makes him look like he's supposed be chroma keyed, though.

That’s a grotesque amount of money for one person to have.

Well deserved.
I support Cook as CEO but I have to disagree. I don't think paying one man such an insane sum of money is ever deserved. I'm glad he plans to give most away though. He's certainly doing much better than other wealthy CEOs in that regard.

Wow! Well deserved! Good job Tim. But can we please get a new CEO now.
Make up your mind! If it’s well deserved…he’s doing a great job. If he should be replaced…then, he’s not doing a good job.
