David S. Goone had significant stock holdings and stock options during his tenure at ICE. His wealth peaked during years of strong company performance, particularly noted in 2021 when his total compensation topped $4.7 million. However, he focused on performance-based stock units, showing his commitment to tying his financial success to the company’s growth. In 2021, for instance, he received a substantial number of stock options, proving he put a lot of his own interests on the line tied to company performance. He had many years where his stock value would fluctuate, depending on ICE’s success, especially when their stock prices were much higher. His alignment with ICE’s growth is clear, as he maintained a significant portion of his wealth in company stock, signifying the belief in the firm's future.
