So much for the Grinch: Exxon CEO gets much-deserved raise
Tillerson demonstrates the size of the gold nugget he plans to buy.
Rex Tillerson, the CEO of ExxonMobil, got a raise. On Jan. 1, 2013, Tillerson will earn a base salary of $2.71 million, according to Reuters — a 5 percent raise. He will also get a bonus this year of $4.59 million. He also got 225,000 shares of stock, worth, as of writing, about $19.7 million (though there are restrictions on how he can sell it). Exxon’s stock is up 3.26 percent so far this year.
