Hock Tan
Broadcom’s CEO and one of the most acquisitive dealmakers in chips, whose pay swings into the hundreds of millions in the years he receives a mega stock grant.
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 compensation is famously lumpy: modest in ordinary years and enormous when the board grants a new multi-year performance stock award. In fiscal 2025 that award drove his Summary Compensation Table total above $205 million, almost entirely the grant-date value of stock that vests only if aggressive stock-price targets are met.
Worth knowing
Broadcom’s CEO Hock Tan can be paid over $200 million in a year he receives a multi-year stock grant — and a tenth of that in the off years. His pay is famously lumpy by design.
