Why this pay?
- His fiscal 2025 pay leapt to $79.9 million, up from about $30 million, almost entirely because of a one-time performance-based retention stock award granted in May 2025 with a grant-date value near $57.7 million. The disclosed CEO-to-median-employee pay ratio for the year was roughly 1,120 to 1.
