As of the end of 2023, Stephen J. Easterbrook held 5,086 shares in McDonald's, valued at over $800,000. His stock holdings saw significant fluctuations over his tenure at the company. In 2019, during a high point in his career, his vested stocks accounted for a large part of his income, contributing $12.9 million to his total earnings. This reflects how much of a CEO's wealth can be tied directly to the company's stock performance. While he had substantial holdings during his time, his separation from McDonald's in late 2019 means that his current investment in the company is now considerably less.
