Executives at Twitter make a lot of money. But\u00a0it\u2019s not just like they make a lot of money relative to you or me, or compared to lower level employees\u00a0within the organization.\u00a0A couple of executives at Twitter make a lot of money compared to their peers at public companies in general, tech or otherwise.<\/p>\n
At the same time, they haven\u2019t done a great job of getting a return for their shareholders. Twitter stock\u00a0has fallen by 65 percent since it listed in late 2013, and that long-term trend doesn\u2019t seem like it\u2019s going to end anytime soon.<\/p>\n
But about that executive comp: Former Twitter COO Adam Bain made almost $30 million last year \u2014 which is an astonishing amount during\u00a0a period of time in which the stock declined 30 percent.<\/p>\n
Bain is gone now<\/a> and assuming\u00a0his role\u00a0is Anthony Noto, who will hold down both the COO and CFO jobs for the foreseeable future. While Noto made\u00a0less than Bain, he still managed to pull in $23.7 million in total compensation for 2016, as shown in the chart below:<\/p>\n I was curious how Twitter exec compensation\u00a0matched up against other public companies out there. So I went down the list of the top 50 public companies by market cap and looked up how much they paid their top execs in 2016.<\/p>\n With that in mind, here\u2019s a\u00a0not-very-comprehensive list of public company executives who made less money than Anthony Noto last year, according to Morningstar<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n
