In 2022, that value was estimated to be worth $75 million, but this year, that estimate drops to $40 million. His base salary of $3 million and his annual cash incentive of $6 million will remain the same. <em>Bloomberg<\/em> reported the pay cut <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2023-01-12\/apple-s-cook-to-take-pay-cut-in-2023-that-it-says-he-requested?utm_medium=email&#038;utm_source=newsletter&#038;utm_term=230112&#038;utm_campaign=author_19842959#xj4y7vzkg\">earlier on Thursday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To set Cook\u2019s new pay, the compensation committee on Apple\u2019s board \u201cbalanced shareholder feedback, Apple\u2019s exceptional performance, and a recommendation from Mr. Cook to adjust his compensation in light of the feedback received.\u201d In reality, his 2023 compensation could differ; Cook actually made $99.4 million in 2022, according to the filing.<\/p>\n<p>While Apple continues to be quite successful, its market cap has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/1\/3\/23538179\/apples-market-cap-is-down-1-trillion-from-its-peak-exactly-one-year-ago\">dropped $1 trillion from its peak a year ago<\/a>, and the company has been facing some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/11\/29\/23484470\/apple-iphone-14-pro-production-delay-foxconn-kuo\">production challenges with its cash cow, the iPhone<\/a>.
