New York: Facebook CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg’s salary was down last year, but don’t cry for him. He’ll be OK.
In fact, the megawealthy Facebook boss
was just following the CEO salary downsizing trend for some industry
heavyweights, such as Google.
The social networking site paid him a salary of $1 last year, stock market documents showed on Monday.
The same documents, released ahead of
the company annual meeting, showed Zuckerberg’s full compensation last
year hit $653,165, down from $1.99 million in 2012.
Most of that was from personal trips in
private jets paid for by the company because they are seen as justified
for safety reasons.
And Zuckerberg did not get a bonus or stock options last year.
But don’t fret about that lonely dollar. Zuckerberg reaped $3.3 billion just last year from exercising stock options.
He is still the leading shareholder in
the business he started in his college dorm room, with a fortune of
$26.7 billion, according to Forbes.
