Ever Wonder How Much Money Game Executives Make_
Having dug through the various filings submitted by companies last year, The Game Trade Journal have compiled a list revealing how much the top video game executives made last year.
How much? Let’s just say Activision boss Bobby “What, Me Worry?” [[link]] Kotick won’t be sleeping on the street any time soon. Or, for that matter, sleeping on a bed that isn’t made [[link]] of gold-edged goose feathers.
Last year he made an astonishing $14.9 million, of which $900,000 was his actual salary, with the rest made up of bonuses and stock options.
That’s a lot more than rival John Riccitiello, of Electronic Arts, made, as he “only” pocketed $5 million. $750,000 of that was his salary, $3.6 million in stock options and a bonus of $625,350. Imagine how much money he makes when the company has a good year!
Other high-flying executives include GameStop CEO Dan DeMatteo ($4.9 million) and THQ boss Brian Farrell (2.7 million), with a few more listed below.
