Amazon.com Inc. Chief Executive Officer Andy Jassy received compensation valued at about $212 million in 2021, the company said, a sum that reflects the big stock award he received after taking over the company.
Jassy, who took the reins from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in July, was paid a base salary of $175,000, unchanged from the prior year, the online retailer said in a securities filing Friday. The vast majority of his compensation came in the form of a stock award of 61,000 shares, first disclosed last year, which vests between 2023 and 2031. That award “is expected to represent most of Mr. Jassy’s compensation for the coming years,” the Seattle company said.
