Satya Nadella
$79M/year. Took MSFT from $300B to $3T. $13B OpenAI bet. Best CEO hire ever?
Satya Nadella is the CEO who delivered a 10x return on Microsoft's market cap, growing it from $300 billion to over $3 trillion since 2014. In 2024, his total compensation was $79 million, placing him among the top earners in tech, though still 65% less than Sundar Pichai's 2022 package. His early bet on Azure cloud and the $13 billion OpenAI investment positioned Microsoft at the center of the AI revolution. Nadella's net worth exceeds $1 billion, accumulated from stock and options over 30+ years at the company.
