The compensation package just approved? A cool trillion dollars. But here's the catch that makes this fascinating: to pocket the full amount, value creation needs to hit $8.5 trillion. That's an 8.5x multiplier on the payout.

Think about the incentive structure here. It's not free money—it's performance-locked. Every dollar of compensation is tied to delivering exponential shareholder returns. The alignment between leadership rewards and investor gains? Pretty much bulletproof.

For equity holders, this could be the ultimate win-win. If the targets get hit, everyone's portfolio grows significantly. If they don't, the massive payout never materializes. Risk-reward symmetry at scale.
