EA's CEO pulled in $5 million more this year than last, while his employees took home the least money they've made since 2022

Andrew Wilson, chief executive officer of Electronic Arts Inc. (EA), speaks during the company's EA Play event ahead of the E3 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, California, U.S., on Saturday, June 9, 2018. EA announced that it is introducing a higher-end version of its subscription game-playing service that will include new titles such as Battlefield V and the Madden NFL 19 football game.

Tragic news: despite steering Electronic Arts as CEO since 2013, Andrew Wilson hasn't had a pay rise in the last three years. He's scraping by on the same $1.3 million annual salary he's had since fiscal year (FY) 2023 (when it was bumped up from the $1.29 million he earned as salary in FY2022).

Times are tough. Still, hopefully Wilson can console himself with the other $29,200,000 he's netted in his position over the last fiscal year. Stagnant salary aside, Wilson has—per EA's 2025 Proxy Statement (via Game Developer)—earned $25.7 million in stock awards, $2.8 million in executive bonuses, and a $678,000 garnish from "All other compensation," namely $1.2k in insurance premiums paid on his behalf, $10.3k in 401(K) matching contributions, and $667k in "other," which is almost entirely derived from EA's $664k contribution to Wilson's "personal security benefits," based on an independent threat assessment.
