Top-Paid Tech CEOs in the United States: Who’s the highest-paid tech CEO in America? If you said “Sundar Pichai,” you’d be right—but some of the other names (and companies) on the list of best-compensated chief executives might surprise you.
You’ll be shocked to learn how much these executives earn annually. In the U.S., the median worker’s salary for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $1,085 per week or $56,420 per year. By contrast, the country’s 53 highest-paid tech chief executive officers (CEOs) earn several times more in one minute than the average worker earns in a week.

And if there’s one sector where most companies are doing spectacularly right now, that’s the tech industry. Five of the 53 compensation packages we examined were worth less than $20 million, and 12 topped $100 million. Who are tech’s highest-paid CEOs in America?
