He's had the job for 14 months and now Microsoft boss Satya Nadella has been named highest-paid CEO in the United States, which probably means the world.
The New York Times Equilar Pay Study says he earns $84,308,755 a year.
That's £56,412,685.
And it's way more than Apple CEO Tim Cook and even way more than his nearest CEO rival.
