Tim Cook's Apple Compensation Package Tops $74 Million in 2025

Apple CEO Tim Cook's compensation package for 2025 was predominantly driven by stock awards. According to Bloomberg data, his total payout for the year stood at $74,294,811. This figure breaks down into four components: a fixed salary of $3 million, stock awards worth $57,535,293, non-equity incentives totaling $12 million, and other compensation amounting to $1,759,518.

The largest share of Cook's compensation came from stock awards linked to his package. This is a common practice among large technology companies, where executive compensation is aligned with the company's long-term performance. In Apple's case, this means that Cook's financial interests are tied to the company's overall success.

Cook also serves on Nike's Board of Directors and received a separate compensation for his role as a member and lead independent director, amounting to $377,800 in 2026. This figure is distinct from his Apple compensation package.
