Microsoft Is Paying CEO Satya Nadella $84 Million

Microsoft just revealed how much it is paying its new CEO, Satya Nadella. All told for the first year, it's a package worth $84 million, the company said in a regulatory filing.
It breaks down like this:

Base salary of $918,917,

A cash bonus of $3.6 million,
A one-time grant of stock valued at $59.2 million in connection with his promotion to CEO that he will not be able to cash out until 2019,

and another one-time stock grant worth $13.5 million given to him in August 2013, to keep him around during the CEO search process.

With these grants, his stock holdings jumped from 231,116 shares before he was CEO, to 4.9 million shares after he got the job.

Microsoft says that without the one-time stock grants, his compensation adds up to the much more modest sum of $11.6 million. The company also agreed to a $17.4 million golden parachute if the whole CEO gig doesn't work out.


It's hard to compare this pay to Steve Ballmer's. Ballmer's money mostly comes from the enormous stake he still holds, 4% of the company, 333 million shares. In 2014, Ballmer made $483,584 in salary. Which isn't a lot of money for a CEO but he also left the job in February.


Nadella's first-year compensation pay package does fairs well compared to other first-year tech CEOs:


Oracle is paying its new co-CEOs Safra Catz and Mark Hurd $37.7 million apiece for their first year since they were handed these new titles, including their one-time stock awards. And that was a pay cut from $44 million the year before. Their jobs haven't really changed. And their boss, Larry Ellison, is still higher paid. He's making $67 million in 2014.


Tim Cook's first-year pay was off the charts: a staggering $378 million, mostly from a huge one-time stock grant. His pay has since come down to a mere $4.3 million in 2013 (but about $70 million of his stock options vested that year, too).


Marissa Mayer was paid $36.6 million her first year as the CEO of Yahoo.


IBM CEO Ginni Rometty was paid $16.1 million for her first year.


Meg Whitman's pay package was valued at $15.3 million for her first year, but under her reign, the stock has tripled in value, so those one-time stock awards are worth a lot more now.


Nadella's pay is of particular interest since he's indicated that he's never asked for a raise in his life. He prefers to work hard and trust that the system will reward him appropriately.


We don't know if that means that he doesn't negotiate for a salary when taking on a new job. But whatever he's doing, his methods are working for him.

Minister of textiles Kavuri Sambasiva Rao

Businessman-turned-politician Kavuri Sambasiva Rao , who had almost resigned his Lok Sabha seat last October upset over being ignored in the previous Cabinet reshuffle, makes an entry into the Union Council of Ministers after almost three decades of Parliamentary run. 69-year-old Rao, a strong advocate of united Andhra, is opposed to separate Telangana over which the state has been seeing a lot of tensions. In October last, the five-time MP was almost sure that the Congress leadership will induct him in the Cabinet when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh went for a reshuffle of his council of ministers. Rao now represents Eluru seat. But the leadership's decision to exclude him from the ministry upset Rao who then made his displeasure public and announced his decision to quit from Lok Sabha. However, the leadership managed to calm him down. A loyal Congressman, Rao is presently a member of the crucial Congress Coordination Committee in Andhra Pradesh, set up in 2010 to ensu...
