Compensation History

See how much did Andrew Anagnost make over time.

In 2023, Andrew Anagnost received a total compensation of about $20.6 million. This primarily came from a salary of $1.046 million and a performance bonus of $1.5 million, accounting for almost all his earnings that year. Notably, he chose not to take any stock awards, which shows a clear focus on immediate results rather than long-term equity gains. His bonuses are based on performance metrics such as total revenue and non-GAAP income, illustrating his commitment to aligning executive pay with company success.
