Tim Cook, Apple Inc’s chief executive officer, will this week collect the 10th and final tranche of the pay deal he received a decade ago after he took over the top job from co-founder Steve Jobs.
The haul consists of about five million shares worth roughly US$750mil (RM3.14bil), according to calculations by Bloomberg News.
