At the height of his holdings, James E. Rogers maintained significant stock options from both Duke Energy and Spectra Energy, following their spin-off in 2007. Post-2007, his balance shifted towards Duke Energy as he focused on maximizing shareholder value and company performance. By 2013, just before his retirement, Rogers had stock options valued at approximately $1.6 million. His major asset, the Duke Energy stock, showcased fluctuations in value dependent on the company's operational achievements. Throughout his career, his performance-driven philosophy not only earned him a considerable portfolio but also tied his wealth directly to the company's success, reflecting a unique model in executive compensation.
