The median pay for S&P 500 CEOs in 2020 was $13.4 million, and the highest compensation package was valued at $211 million.

DoorDash’s stock price needs to average at least $501 for six months before late Nov. 2027 for Xu to receive 100% of the award worth $5.2 billion.
Karp’s award of Palantir options and restricted stock is worth $3.9 billion today under standard valuation techniques.
