Microsoft boss Nadella's compensation pack swells 10% to $55m Relying on the karmic forces of the universe is clearly working out for Microsoft chairman and CEO Satya Nadella, judging by his expanding compensation package. The exec, who landed the role in 2014 and has presided over some monumental growth figures, particularly during the pandemic, scooped up a total of $54.946 million, up …
One wonders how much of the growth was directly attributable to action by Nadella. But in any case, who actually needs even $2.5M per year? Here in the UK, that's more than a lifetime's earnings for a reasonably well paid business mananger.
TBH, he's probably struggling on that piddling amount. It's probably barely enough to pay for his housekeeper, let alone his chauffeur and gardeners. Then there's the weekly food shop... I expect he'll be panhandling around the local food bank until his shares vest.

Microsoft matches charitable donations. So he gave $100k on his own to charities, and MS contributed another $100k to the same organizations. The round number suggests that was probably a cap on the amount they would match for him, so he may have given more in donations which weren't matched.
He deserves every penny, and more. There is literally no-one else in the world who can do the things he does.
He is also kind and handsome and if you ask nicely, he'll come 'round to your place on Saturday and wash your car.
Whatsisname is quite possibly the cleverest businessman in the history of business doing, and should be paid more.
