EA's top execs earned $60m in last fiscal year, despite company layoffs
Almost half earned by CEO alone.
Breaking it down, Wilson earned $1.3m from his basic salary, plus over $20m in stock awards, just under $3.5m from a non-equity incentive plan, and $500k in "other" compensation. This, in total, was around $5m more than in 2023 and 2022.
Elsewhere Laura Miele, president of EA Entertainment, technology and central development, earned a total of $12m, acknowledging her assumed leadership of EA Entertainment and overseeing the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor launch, among other achievements.
Meanwhile CFO Stuart Canfield earned a total of $6.5m, among others.
At the very least, it's a stark indication of the amount of money earned at the top of the games industry.
By contrast, the median employee earned $148,704 in compensation, meaning Wilson earned 172 times more than the average EA employee.
