According to a report, Mark Zuckerberg was the highest paid public CEO in the United States last year. His total compensation for 2012 was nearly $2.3 billion, more than twice that of the next-highest paid CEO according to GMI Ratings, which analyzed compensation for more than 2,000 CEOs of publicly traded companies.
He received a base salary of $500,000 for the
year but almost all of the Facebook CEO’s compensation for the year comes from
income related to Facebook's IPO. On the day Facebook went public, Zuckerberg
exercised 60 million stock options worth nearly $2.3 billion (though much of it
was used to cover his taxes). Starting this year his salary changed to the
symbolic $1 a year.
