Meta Promises Billion-Dollar Paydays If Stock Grows Eightfold By 2031
KEY POINTS
- •Six Meta executives, including CTO Andrew Bosworth and CFO Susan Li, have newly detailed stock incentive plans.
- •The plan requires Meta’s stock price to increase to between $1,116 and $3,727 by 2031 to unlock payouts.
- •Despite the generosity for others, CEO Mark Zuckerberg is notably excluded from this aggressive pay raise.
Meta's top brass—CTO Andrew Bosworth, CFO Susan Li, COO Javier Olivan, and CPO Chris Cox—are eyeing paychecks of up to $2.7 billion, all hinging on stock prices soaring from today’s $600 to over $3,700 by March 2031. That would mean an $8 trillion market cap, basically betting Meta becomes four times bigger than Apple's current $2 trillion juggernaut. The catch? Meta’s stock dropped 3% last year and CEO Mark Zuckerberg gets no VIP pay bump—because nothing says loyalty like excluding the boss from the billion-dollar party. Meanwhile, the company is tossing billions into AI, chopping jobs, and poaching talent like an AI tyrannosaurus with an unquenchable appetite.
