Evan Spiegel is already known for his penchant of riding a black SUV throughout Venice, and job listings show his security guards must come armed.
But while protecting Spiegel cost almost $900,000 in 2016, he's hardly alone among tech CEO who have big money paid to keep them safe. Business Insider combed through US Securities and Exchange Commission filings to find what it costs to protect some of the most powerful CEOs in tech.
