The media loves to count other people's money, and especially if it concerns the head of one of the largest
How many?
So, judging by Xiaomi's annual report forHong Kong stock exchange, the founder and executive director of the company Lei Jun received about $1.5 billion over the year and deservedly became the highest paid employee of Xiaomi. The company modestly confirmed that Zun earns more than a billion yuan (about $150 million), but refused to give exact figures.
But let us note that the director receives these amounts not in “real” money, but in shares.
Almost as much as I received in a yearhead, was divided among the five highest paid top managers of Xiaomi. As a result, this is 60% of the total wage bill. In just one year, management compensation increased by 50%.
But it does not offend Xiaomi and ordinary employees. Now there are more than 16.5 thousand of them, and they received $3 billion in remuneration in 2018. In addition, over 12 months, the wage fund has grown 51 times.
For comparison:Over the past year, Apple CEO Tim Cook earned $15.7 million, while Twitter founder and CEO Jack Dorsey earned just 140 cents, for the first time since 2015. But there are no complaints about Twitter: Jack himself refused his salary in favor of the bright and comfortable future of the social network.
