What's a CEO's pay package?
A CEO's pay package often includes a basic salary, bonuses, and share options. These options give them the right to buy company shares at a set price, which can become incredibly valuable if the company's share price rises significantly, as seen with Elon Musk's Tesla deal. It's designed to incentivise long term growth.
