According to an analysis by Equilar, an agency specializing in compensation and governance, Tesla's board of directors has received more than 3 billion US dollars in revenue from stock rewards, a figure far exceeding the corresponding remuneration of board members of major US technology companies during the same period. According to the analysis, based on the value-added value of stock options held or realized, CEO Elon Musk's younger brother Kimbal Musk has made a profit of nearly 1 billion US dollars since 2004; director Ella Ellen Price has accumulated revenue of 869 million US dollars since 2007; and Chairman of the Board Robin Denholme has also earned 650 million US dollars since taking office in 2014. Despite the fact that the board hasn't awarded itself a new stock award since 2020, members have reaped this huge wealth. In 2021, in order to settle shareholders' lawsuits against “excessive directors' remuneration,” Tesla's board of directors agreed to suspend the payment of directors' remuneration. However, between 2018 and 2020, the average salary of Tesla board members in cash plus shares was about 12 million US dollars, which is about 8 times the average of Alphabet, which has the second highest salary among the “Big Seven” over the same period.
