    According to a SEC filing dated Tuesday, Apple withheld 2,653,560 shares for tax purposes, and Cook quickly sold the rest, meaning that he actually received around $355 million

    Cook received the compensation package in August 2011, when he took the helm of Apple.

And perform it did: Apple’s stock price went from roughly $13.50 in August 2011 to its current price of $147.54, with Apple becoming the world’s largest company, with a current market cap of $2.44 trillion.

    Cook was already a billionaire prior to this last payout, with a current net worth of about $1.5 billion, according to Bloomberg. Cook said in 2015 he plans to give away most of his wealth to charity.
