As of late 2022, CEO Maria Renna Sharpe's financial holdings were significant for her role at LGI Homes. Her wealth was notably influenced by the company's performance metrics tied to her compensation structure. While there are no detailed reports of individual stock holdings related to Maria, she has maintained a compensation package predominantly focusing on cash bonuses and salary rather than stock options or shares, showing her alignment with the company's operational performance over speculative stock gains. This demonstrates her commitment to the company’s growth, as much of her wealth lies in the success of LGI Homes rather than fluctuating equity values. Such a compensation philosophy aligns closely with driving long-term shareholder value while incentivizing operational performance.

Compensation History

See how much did Maria Renna Sharpe make over time.

Maria Renna Sharpe's total compensation in 2022, amounting to $563,029, is structured to align her interests with the success of LGI Homes, Inc. Her compensation package includes a $975,000 salary paired with a bonus of $590,087, which is heavily based on the company’s performance metrics—revenue and home closings. These metrics aim to drive results that benefit not only the company but also its shareholders. Interestingly, while her compensation appears substantial, it reflects an executive pay philosophy where most of the pay is tied to the company's operational success rather than guaranteed stock options or grants that may not materialize if performance criteria are not met. This clear focus on performance encourages a culture of accountability and value creation in the housing sector.
