Some Meta Executives Could Make Billions Under New Pay Package Meta’s top executives, excluding CEO Mark Zuckerberg, may see substantial pay increases if the company achieves aggressive stock price targets over the next five years, according to recently filed SEC documents. The compensation package includes restricted stock units and stock options tied to significant growth in Meta’s market value. The plan outlines a two-part incentive structure for six executives, including CTO Andrew Bosworth, CFO Susan Li, chief operating officer Javier Olivan, and chief product officer Chris Cox. These executives would receive a higher number of restricted stock units that vest over time, along with stock options that grant them the right to purchase shares at predetermined prices. The stock options are set at conversion prices ranging from $1,116.08 to $3,727.12, with the highest target implying a market cap exceeding $8 trillion. Meta’s current stock price is around $600, having declined nearly 3% over the past year. If the stock reaches the upper end of the pricing range, Bosworth, Cox, Li, and Olivan could potentially earn up to $2.7 billion in payouts, depending on how much they choose to exercise their options and the stock’s performance. The package reflects Meta’s focus on AI development amid intense competition in the tech industry. The company is investing heavily in AI talent, with recent hires including researchers from the startup Thinking Machines Labs and the recruitment of its former CTO. Meta has also acquired several AI-focused startups, such as Manus and Moltbook, and expanded its AI research team under a “superintelligence” initiative led by Alexandr Wang, a former Scale AI CEO.#mark_zuckerberg #andrew_bosworth #susan_li #javier_olivan #chris_cox
