Of course, there are positions that pay more within Apple in the upper executive team, and of course principals like Jony Ive and Scott Forstall likely make a lot more money than these salaries. However, it’s worth noting that Tim Cook, like Steve Jobs before him, is probably the worst paid employee at Apple as far as mere salaries are concerned: he earns just $1 per year.
