According to The Wall Street Journal, the highest-paid CEO in America is Tan Hock Eng, a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard Business School, and a 65-year-old from Penang!
He’s the head of Broadcom, a company that supplies and makes computer chips worldwide, and has a base pay of US$1.1 million (RM4.35 million).
In 2017, he had a total salary of US$103.2 million (RM407.9 million). He earned US$24.7 million (RM97.6 milion) in 2016 and had a 318% increase in his total salary.
Now, if you’re wondering how he ended up earning so much moolah, it’s because his earnings include shares awarded to him (RM388.6 million), performance bonus (RM14.6 million), travel expenses, and car services.
Congratulations to him and we are certainly proud to see such impressive achievement from a Malaysian!
