Apple CEO Tim Cook No.2 on 2019 highest paid list at $133.7 million

Elon Musk, the space and electric-car titan, was the highest-paid executive in the U.S. for 2019 with $595.3 million, singnifcantly more than No.2 Apple CEO Tim Cook hauled in, according to the Bloomberg Pay Index.
The vast sum comes thanks to the pay deal he scored a couple of years ago: A promise of tens of billions of dollars if Tesla became one of the world’s most valuable firms.
Mission accomplished.
