Breaking Down the Tim Cook Salary Package

When examining the components of Cook’s massive compensation, his $3 million base salary stands out, a figure that has remained unchanged since 2016. However, the largest portion of the package comes from $57.5 million in stock awards. In addition to this, Cook received a performance-based cash bonus of $12 million.

Furthermore, other benefits and compensations form a significant part of the package. Approximately $1.76 million was allocated for expenses such as 401(k) contributions, life insurance premiums, security costs, and personal air travel. For security and efficiency reasons, Apple requires Cook to use a private aircraft for both business and personal travel.
