Pay vs performance
what happened while he earned itNo score, no opinion. Compensation is filed; stock and S&P are market returns over the window shown; revenue and EPS are latest reported vs the prior year. You decide.
Why this pay?
- His reported pay looks tiny for a company Amazon’s size — a $365,000 salary and no new stock grants — because his compensation is dominated by a roughly $212 million restricted-stock award made back in 2021 that vests over many years. Headlines that quote tens of millions are citing the value of shares vesting, not what the proxy’s Summary Compensation Table reports.
Worth knowing
Andy Jassy’s Amazon pay is often headlined at tens of millions, but the proxy’s Summary Compensation Table reports about $2 million — a $365,000 salary and security. The gap is the vesting value of a one-time 2021 stock grant.
