The yearly earnings of Apple's board members was revealed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday, including CEO Tim Cook who received compensation of over $9.22 million in 2014, more than doubling his pay from 2013.
According to the document, Cook's $9.22 million in earnings includes $1.75 million salary, $6.7 million in non-equity incentives and other company contributions. Apple notes Cook was paid out nearly $57,000 in vacation cash-out and accrued almost $700,000 in security expenses.
By comparison, Cook's salary in 2013 amounted to $1.4 million, while incentives bumped overall earnings to $4.3 million. Those numbers don't reflect $69.6 million in vested stock options contingent on company performance granted that year.
When he took over as CEO for late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs in 2011, Cook received a $378 million payout package, as well as a $372.6 million one-time stock award scheduled to vest through 2021. Currently, 3.36 million shares of the 2011 award are not vested and have a market price of $338.52 million.
As for other Apple executives, SVP of Retail Angela Ahrendts, who was hired on in October 2013, was allotted $73.35 million, a bulk of which came from $70 million stock award. The retail chief's salary stood at just under $412,000 for 2014, an amount surpassed by a $500,000 bonus. Apple also paid about $458,000 in relocation expenses and more than $324,000 in associated tax gross up for taxable relocation amounts.
Eddy Cue, Apple's head of software and services, earned $24.45 million in 2014, most of which came from a stock award amounting to $20 million, while SVP of Operations Jeff Williams earned $24.4 million with an identical stock award.
Finally, Apple CFO Luca Maestri, who officially took over for Peter Oppenheimer last May, brought in $14 million, most of which coming from a stock award of $11.34 million. His predecessor earned $4.52 million over 2014.

Much as they all deserve a just reward for their efforts these kind of sums are honestly obscene.

These are obscene figures. Consider what apple execs made until 2004. Bertrand etc. Nothing like this and more valuable than most mentioned here. I wonder what Cook thinks that Angela is going to bring to the table worth that amount of compensation.

I'm sure she'll have a regular salary next year, in line with Eddy and Jeff. What I found rather large is the $458,000 in relocation expenses. As for Tim getting 57k for holiday expenses, well, I guess I would be able to blow through that as well.
