The lowest salary for technology tycoons: Yang Yuanqing’s annual salary exceeds 100 million yuan, Jack Ma Yunyou

We all know that Alibaba, founded by Jack Ma, has become the largest Internet company in China. Alibaba has hundreds of millions of active users. According to Alibaba’s 2017 tax data, it is estimated that it pays about 100 million in taxes every day. It is conceivable that such a powerful Alibaba company must have considerable profits. As the most profitable company in China, how much is the annual salary of founder Jack Ma?

According to statistics, we can’t see Jack Ma on the ranking list of CEO annual salaries. Jack Ma is a rare genius in the business world. The Alibaba company he founded has changed many aspects of people's lives, and so far, Alibaba's market value has exceeded US$400 billion.

Jack Ma once revealed the answer to the mystery in an interview. According to Jack Ma, he has not taken a penny from the company since he founded Alibaba in 1999. He said he has no interest in money, so his salary has been zero for the past 20 years. It is conceivable that when Jack Ma started his business, his fundamental goal was not to make a lot of money or to make himself rich. Just as Jack Ma once said that he founded Alibaba not for himself, but to help more small and medium-sized enterprises become rich together.

And Ma Yun’s competitor Liu Qiangdong, Liu Qiangdong announced when he got married to "Milk Tea Sister" that in the next ten years, he will only get a salary of 1 yuan per year in JD.com. Of course, Liu Qiangdong mainly relies on equity. Since JD.com went public in 2014, he has made a profit of 1 billion in two years.

After talking about the above two "abnormal" ones, let's talk about a normal one. She is known as the "Iron Lady" and is the boss of Gree Air Conditioning. She is Dong Mingzhu. Dong Mingzhu is worthy of being called the Iron Lady and has a straightforward personality. She revealed that her annual salary is 5 million, but only 2 million is received after tax. She once criticized those who earned one yuan a year. She believed that it was just a means of avoiding taxes.

According to domestically released data, the top-ranked CEO is Lenovo Group Yang Yuanqing, with an annual salary of 118.96 million yuan. The second-ranked CEO is Evergrande Real Estate CEO Xia Haijun, with an annual salary of 72.54 million yuan. The third-ranked CEO is China Want Want CEO Cai Yanming, with an annual salary of 41.35 million yuan. Ma Huateng can only rank ninth, with an annual salary of 27.55 million yuan.

Abroad, the other three CEOs in the top five in terms of annual income are McKesson CEO John Hamgren, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals CEO Leonard Schleifer, and Oracle co-CEO Safra Katz. Among them, Safra Katz, who earns US$86 million, is the highest-paid female CEO on the list. But looking around the world, none of the CEOs introduced above have as high an income as this person, who is Apple CEO Cook.

As of September 30, 2017, Cook received a total bonus of $9.33 million, and he also received a salary of $3.06 million and a previously disclosed equity award of $89.2 million, bringing his total income this year to about $102 million.

In addition to Cook, others who earned more than $100 million include Netflix CEO Reed Hastings. The 56-year-old earned $105 million last year. Like Cook, most of his income comes from stock options, which were first granted in 2006.

Of course, the main salary income of domestic technology tycoons is equity. Jack Ma, Ma Huateng, Liu Qiangdong, and Lei Jun are all absolutely super rich...
