How Much Did Medtronic CEO Make in 2014?
Total compensation for Medtronic CEO Omar Ishrak skyrocketed to a whopping $39.5 million for the company’s fiscal year ended April 24, according to Medtronic’s recently filed proxy statement with the SEC.
The $39.5 million amount would make him one of the highest paid CEOs in the medical device industry. About $25.6 million of the compensation, though, was mostly to help Ishrak pay for the special U.S. excise taxes he and other top Medtronic executives personally owed after the January closing of Medtronic’s $48 billion acquisition of Covidien. (Here’s a timeline of the deal.)
