During David O'Reilly's tenure at Chevron, his Inside trading activities were closely linked to the company's performance. Upon retiring, he had significant holdings but forfeited part of his stock options that were tied to his final year at the company. Making strategic insider contributions, he once had his wealth tied to Chevron stock valued in the millions. By the end of his leadership, his holdings had seen varied fluctuations as stock prices reflected the energy market's ups and downs. In 2009, O'Reilly's stock options and performance shares were typically worth much more during previous years, especially when Chevron's stock was riding high. It's noteworthy that he had been accumulating his wealth through these investments while also making sure his pay was rooted in his performance and commitment to Chevron's success.
