Satya Nadella Tops Tech CEO Pay in 2025

In 2025, the highest-paid tech CEO was Satya Nadella from Microsoft, who made $96.5 million.

Most of his pay came from company shares, not his salary.

Other tech CEOs like Tim Cook from Apple, Sundar Pichai from Google, and Jensen Huang from Nvidia also earned a lot, but not as much as Nadella.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, is expected to make $90 million a year from Tesla alone, thanks to a huge pay package approved by shareholders.

This package is tied to goals like selling more Tesla cars and robots.

Even if he doesn't meet all the goals, he will still make a lot of money.
