Did the Broadcom CEO Get a Raise?
Yes. Hock Tan's total compensation rose 7692% to $205.3M in 2025, from $2.6M in 2024, per Broadcom's SEC DEF 14A filings.
This page answers a common executive-compensation question: Did the Broadcom CEO Get a Raise?. The answer draws on SEC DEF 14A proxy statements, the public disclosure mechanism for U.S. public-company executive pay. Every public company must file an annual proxy statement disclosing CEO and named-executive-officer compensation in detail. Why this matters for shareholders: executive compensation is the single most-disclosed governance metric at U.S. public companies, and the Dodd-Frank-mandated say-on-pay vote gives shareholders an explicit channel to express approval or dissent. Reading pay data well — including pay-versus-performance, peer-group selection, and time-vesting structures — is a basic part of stock-by-stock fundamental analysis.
The detailed answer below uses the actual proxy-statement filings, explains how to read them, and translates the executive-compensation accounting into the shareholder-relevant interpretation.

In its latest proxy statement, Broadcom reported Hock Tan's 2025 total compensation at $205,278,006 — up $202,643,464 (7692%) from $2,634,542 in 2024. The biggest single driver was stock awards, which fell $NaN.
Across the disclosed history, Hock Tan's total pay has run: 2021, $60.7M; 2022, $60.6M; 2023, $161.8M; 2024, $2.6M; 2025, $205.3M. CEO compensation is lumpy year to year because equity grants — the largest component — are often awarded in multi-year blocks rather than evenly, so a single year's jump or drop can reflect grant timing as much as a change in pay philosophy.
Whether a raise is warranted ties back to performance: Broadcom posted a 93.0% three-year total shareholder return on 60.8% revenue growth, and the package carries a CEOPay Pay-for-Performance grade of A (96/100).
