Microsoft has lost an awful lot of goodwill in recent times. Over the last two years, it has laid off over 10,000 workers, closed iconic studios like Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks, and raised the prices of Xbox Game Pass and its consoles multiple times. It seems that Microsoft, in light of this, has had a good fiscal year, and that is making its way up to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.
As reported by CNBC, Nadella is being paid $96.5 million for 2025, which is a $17.4 million bump from last year. To put that $96.5 million figure into context, with the highest tier of Xbox Game Pass now costing $30 a month, this could pay for 3.216 million months of the game streaming service, or 268,055 years.
