Not only is Jassy one of the highest-paid executives at the company, he is also a close confidant of his predecessor, Bezos.

According to the filing, a small portion of the total compensation figure comes from Jassy's salary, which amounts to $175,000. Much of the rest came from a stock award he received when he stepped into his new role, which totaled 211,933,520. Jassy was awarded 61,000 shares that would vest over 10 years.

In 2021, Bezos, who is now Amazon's executive chairman, was paid a base salary of $81,840 and received no stock awards, per the filing.

The filing was released on the same day that Amazon workers at a warehouse in Staten Island, New York, successfully voted to unionize. Amazon posted an unsigned statement on its blog, saying the company was "disappointed" with the outcome of the vote.
