The long-time Oracle finance chief and CEO, known for taking a $950,000 salary and no annual equity — then voluntarily zeroing her own bonus.

Pay rank#48 of 50 tracked

Why this pay?

  • Her pay is unusual: a flat $950,000 salary and no new annual equity grants, so her Summary Compensation Table total is tiny for a mega-cap CEO. In fiscal 2025 it fell to about $1.1 million after she voluntarily declined her cash bonus. In September 2025 she stepped down as CEO to become Oracle’s Executive Vice Chair.

Worth knowing

Oracle’s Safra Catz voluntarily zeroed out her own multi-million-dollar cash bonus one year, cutting her reported pay to about $1.1 million — tiny for a mega-cap CEO.
