Apple CEO Tim Cook, whose salary is $2 million, earned a total of $10,3 million in 2015. However, judging by the data published by the Apple corporation, this is not the highest income at Apple.

Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri, sales gurus Angela Arendts (ex-Burberry executive), general legal consultant Bruce Sewell and production director Dan Ricchio and Eddie Q received more than 25 million each.

The fact is that at a salary of 1 million dollars Tim Cook's deputies received 4 million bonuses, as well as shares worth 20 million as a reward for their work.

As for Cook himself, in addition to his salary, he received “only” 8 million in bonuses. This allowed him to earn 9,2 million more than in 2014.

Tim Cook was named Apple CEO in August 2011 after the resignation of corporate founder Steve Jobs, who died of pancreatic cancer 5 in October of the same year.

However, as explained by CNN Money, the true monetization for Cook lies in the actions of Apple, which annually sells millions of iPhones and iPads in different countries of the world.

When concluding a contract with Cook, who worked with Jobs for 13 years, his stake (the so-called welcome package) was estimated at 378 million dollars, but since then it has grown in price and is more than 500 million.

To date, Apple stock (AAPL, Tech30) costs about 100 dollars. This is almost 10% more than three months ago.

As Forum wrote last year, Apple for the third year in a row tops the ranking of the most expensive brands the world, compiled by the agency Interbrand. Apple estimated the cost of the brand at 170,3 billion dollars, which is 50 billion more than Google’s search engine, and two times more than the previous leader in the Coca-Cola rating.

Apple itself in financial report on its activities 2015 for the year called him the most successful in the history of the company. Apple's revenue, as reported, grew by 28% and reached almost 234 billion dollars. And Tim Cook stressed that the new iPhone models, as well as the Apple Watch and iPad Pro, constituted Apple’s “best product line”.

Unlike many other large companies, Apple is still associated with Steve Jobs, who made her the most expensive in the world. But how told "Forum"There were other colleagues and employees of the corporation who contributed to this.
