Amazon’s business boomed during the coronavirus pandemic and has continued to thrive as much of the world has started to emerge from the pandemic. The company recently set a 20-for-1 stock split as well as a $10 billion buyback of shares. Shareholders will need to approve the split during the company’s annual meeting, which has been scheduled for May 25.in the media and tech ranks appears to have risen across the board in 2021, with nine-figure packages no longer unusual.
Adam Selipsky, who joined Amazon last year and succeeded Jassy as head of AWS, made $81.5 million in 2021. David Clark, CEO of the worldwide consumer division, saw his pay rise to $56 million from $46.3 million in 2020. CFO Brian Olsavsky’s pay went in the opposite direction as that of most top-level colleagues. In 2020, he got $17.2 million, but his total pay dropped to $163,200 in 2021.
