New IPO information submitted by Facebook has revealed that founder Mark Zuckerberg will be paid half a million dollars this year, while is he eligible to receive two bonuses up to the value of 45 percent of this base salary, as The Sydney Morning Herald reports.
The dual performance-based bonus set-up is also operational for other C-level executives, including COO Sheryl Sandberg whose salary is revealed to be $300,000.
Of course, Sandberg, Zuckerberg and others have significant amounts of stock so, those of you thinking that their salaries are on the low side need not worry about them.
As the Contra Costa Times reveals, there is no golden parachute agreement for Zuckerberg and Sandberg, which would compensate the pair should they forced out of the company. The omission is surprising and an “investor friendly” detail.
