LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner’s hiring package at Microsoft could be worth $88 million

We had already reported that LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman would pocket $2.9 billion from selling his stock when Microsoft buys his company. But it turns out that CEO Jeff Weiner is not exactly going to be a pauper after the $26 billion deal closes, either.
In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last week, LinkedIn confirmed that Weiner’s shares of his LinkedIn stock would be worth $138,267,471, thanks to Microsoft’s $196 per share, all-cash offer.
Not bad.
