In a new regulatory filing today, Apple revealed that new CEO John Ternus is receiving a pay package with $58 million in salary and target stock awards. The company also shared details on Tim Cook’s lucrative new deal as Apple’s executive chairman.

Ternus’s $58 million pay package includes a $3 million annual base salary and a $55 million target equity award beginning fiscal 2027, split 75% performance-based RSUs and 25% time-based RSUs. For 2026, he receives prorated stock awards with a $2.5 million target value.

Tim Cook is receiving a pay package with a $47 million target value for fiscal 2027, including a $2 million annual base salary and a $45 million equity award. This unusually large package for an executive chairman signals Apple's value in Cook's role managing relationships with President Trump and the Chinese government.
