If we compare Apple's revenues worldwide, we can say that the Cupertino company is undoubtedly in the top positions and its CEO Tim Cook, should also be among the first. In this case Cook is in the Top 10 in this ranking of highest paid CEOs as we can read in Bloomberg
The truth is that it could be higher as well as lower, something that seems not to worry much to the head of Apple right now. Apple continues with the good sales figures worldwide and that is what seems to be most important for Cook and his team, so charging more or less on a personal level is good but not the most important thing.
Tim Cook is the eighth highest paid executive in the United States
It appears that despite earning more than last year, Cook slipped down to eighth last year on the list of highest paid CEOs and executives in the United States. A fact that surely does not hurt too much considering that In 2020 the CEO of Apple collected 265 million dollars.
In 2020, Cook was outscored by other executives on several points, and in this case the Chief Operating Officer of Oak Street Health, the Chief Executive Officer of Palantir Technologies, the Chief Executive Officer of Opendoor Technologies and the Co-Chief Executive Officer of GoodRX Holdings all beat him in terms of revenue. Elon Musk, the head of Tesla was again the first on the list with revenues last year that exceeded 6.500 billion.
Deirdre O'Brien, who is currently Apple's senior vice president of commerce and personnel, and Kate Adams, senior vice president and general counsel, appear on the list of highest-paid executives at 93 and 96 respectively with $ 45 million. This left them as the fourth and fifth highest paid executives in the United States.
