What Happened
New CEO Compensation: Apple's newly appointed CEO John Ternus will receive a compensation package worth $58 million for the 2027 fiscal year. This package includes a $3 million base salary supplemented by significant equity-based incentives.
Tim Cook's Transition: Moving into his new role as chairman of the board, Tim Cook will receive $47 million in total compensation. This reflects a slight adjustment from his previous earnings while leading the company to massive growth over the past 15 years.
