Apple's newly promoted Senior Vice President of Hardware Technologies Johny Srouji was awarded 90,270 restricted stock units on October 5, 2015, according to a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The RSUs awarded vest 12.5% in semi-annual installments over a four year period ending October 2019.
Srouji now has a total of 217,305 RSUs and 101,881 common stock units, which together amount to just over $34 million at AAPL's current trading price of around $107 per share. The latest batch of 90,270 RSUs are currently valued at approximately $9.6 million.
Apple often rewards high-level executives with RSUs based on their performance. In August, for example, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Senior Vice President of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue received 560,000 and 350,000 RSUs respectively worth over $97 million combined. Apple retail chief Angela Ahrendts also received 113,334 RSUs as a signing bonus upon joining Apple in May 2014.
Srouji was promoted to Senior Vice President of Hardware Technologies on December 17, as part of a larger executive team makeover that saw Jeff Williams promoted to COO and marketing chief Phil Schiller take over App Store leadership across all Apple platforms. Tor Myhren, chief creative officer at ad agency Grey, will also join Apple in early 2016 as Vice President of Marketing Communications.
Srouji joined Apple in 2008 to lead development of the A4 chip for iPhone 4, and he now oversees silicon and hardware technologies, including batteries, application processors, storage controllers, sensors silicon, display silicon and other chipsets across Apple's entire product line. Prior to Apple, he held senior positions at Intel and IBM in the areas of processor development and design.

I think that kind of money is reserved for people passionate about their careers, who would work hard, achieve much, and leave a legacy.
Personally, I prefer family businesses instead, such as Wegmans. Wegmans treats their employees well, stays up to date on technology, and also treats their customers well.
When you shop for the shareholder's profits, they don't care about you, the customer--but just screwing you out of your money with nothing in return. When you shop for a family's business, you get great customer service and appreciation.
This is why people prefer to use a credit union over a bank-- a bank works for shareholders, and does everything possible to maximize profits. They'll rip you apart with ridiculous fees and the customer service will be mediocre at best (unless you're lucky). The credit union works for you, and not shareholders (who are actually the members of the credit union, so they work for the members).
I wish more companies would be non-for-profit or family owned.
