Apple CEO Tim Cook earned $74.3 million in total compensation for 2025, according to the company's annual proxy filing. This figure represents a slight decrease from $74.6 million in 2024. His pay package consisted of a $3 million base salary, which has remained unchanged since 2016, $57.5 million in stock awards, $12 million in performance-based cash awards, and $1.76 million in other compensation.

This 'other compensation' includes 401(k) contributions, life insurance premiums, security expenses, and a unique requirement for Cook to use private aircraft for both business and personal travel for efficiency and security. While Apple set a target compensation of $59 million for Cook, incentive payouts related to the company's strong performance pushed his actual earnings above that level. Other top executives, including COO Sabih Khan and retail chief Deirdre O'Brien, received packages around $27 million, while the CFO transition saw Luca Maestri earn $15.5 million and new CFO Kevan Parekh earn $22.5 million.
