Quick answer
Public-company CEO pay is disclosed in the annual proxy statement. The pay table's Total column is the grant-date package — not just cash salary. Tim Cook of Apple received $74,294,811 ($74.3M) for FY2025, per Apple Inc.'s DEF 14A filed 8 Jan 2026 (accession 0001308179-26-000008). Jen-Hsun Huang's NVIDIA total was $36,343,830; Mark Zuckerberg's Meta total was $25,125,904. See the size benchmarks on CEO salary by company size or sector medians on CEO salary by industry.
Salary is the cash paycheck. Total is the grant-date package from the executive pay table. Open a company page for the accession and source filing.

Step 1
Use the company's rentseek.ing page or SEC EDGAR and open the latest definitive proxy statement. That filing is where the board reports CEO pay for the fiscal year.
Step 2
The table lists each named executive in rows and pay elements in columns. The last column, Total, is the grant-date package used on rentseek.ing.
Step 3
Salary is only the cash paycheck. Tim Cook's FY2025 salary was $3,000,000; the disclosed total was $74,294,811.
Step 4
Quote the accession number and filing date so the figure can be checked. Apple: 0001308179-26-000008. NVIDIA: 0001045810-26-000036. Meta: 0001628280-26-025532.
U.S. public companies disclose CEO pay in the annual proxy statement filed with the SEC. The executive compensation table lists salary, bonus, stock awards, option awards, cash incentive, pension change, other compensation, and a Total. Example: Apple reported $74,294,811 for Tim Cook in Apple Inc.'s DEF 14A filed 8 Jan 2026 (accession 0001308179-26-000008).
No. Salary is the cash paycheck. Total compensation is the full grant-date package. Tim Cook's FY2025 salary was $3,000,000 against a $74,294,811 total. Mark Zuckerberg's FY2025 salary was $1 against a $25,125,904 total.
Search the company on rentseek.ing or open the proxy statement on SEC EDGAR. Apple's cited filing is 0001308179-26-000008; NVIDIA's is 0001045810-26-000036; Meta's is 0001628280-26-025532.
The standard columns are salary, bonus, stock awards, option awards, non-equity incentive (cash bonus plans), change in pension value, other compensation, and total. Companies may leave a column blank when that element is zero.
No. Stock and option awards are grant-date accounting values. Jen-Hsun Huang's FY2026 NVIDIA package was $36,343,830, of which $24,800,511 were stock awards — that equity may vest later or be worth a different amount when sold.
