- Amazon paid CEO Andy Jassy nearly $2.1 million last year, according to a company filing.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy's total compensation was about $2.1 million last year — a roughly 30% increase from 2024.
Last year, Jassy earned a base salary of $365,000, and business travel and security expenses totaling $1.7 million largely boosted his pay year over year, according to the company's annual proxy statement, published Thursday.
His total pay has fallen since 2021, the last year he received a stock award from Amazon, and Jassy's first year as CEO. That year, his annual compensation totaled over $200 million.
In 2025, Jassy also had $43 million in stock awards that vested, and $242 million in restricted stock that had not vested as of December 31, according to the filing. It's common for CEOs to hold far more in company stock than they are paid in salary.
Amazon's stock price rose about 4% in 2025.
In 2024, Jassy's compensation totaled almost $1.6 million, including a base salary of $365,000 and more than $1.1 million in security and travel expenses. He had more than $274 million in restricted Amazon stock at the end of that year, according to an earlier company filing.
Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder, executive chair, and former CEO, was the company's second-highest-paid executive in 2025. His total compensation was nearly $1.7 million, including a salary of nearly $82,000. Bezos is worth $243 billion, making him the world's fourth-richest person, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index.
