Sanjay Mehrotra, CEO of Micron Technology (MU), received $12.0M in total reported compensation. The package mix typical at this scale: a small base salary, a larger stock-award component, and performance-tied incentives that vest over multiple years based on relative TSR or earnings benchmarks.
The CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio runs 86x. Lower ratios typically reflect companies with higher-paid workforces (financial services, technology, professional services) where the median worker pay denominator is itself substantial. Performance over the same three-year window has been strong: Micron Technology delivered a 3-year total shareholder return of 85.7% on top of 56.6% revenue growth. Pay packages of this size are easier to defend when the underlying performance is delivering.
Shareholders supported the compensation package at 95% on the most recent say-on-pay vote. Solid support without overwhelming endorsement is the typical pattern for established public companies with conventional compensation programs. Micron Technology operates in Semiconductors with 48,000 employees and $25.1B in annual revenue, and currently carries a market capitalization of $110.0B. Pay comparisons across companies require controlling for these structural factors — a $20M package at a $10B-revenue tech company reads differently than the same package at a $1B-revenue industrial.
