Mark Zuckerberg’s Median Meta Employee Salary and Insights on His Unique Compensation Structure

The median salary of Meta employees last year was $379,000, as revealed in a recent company filing. This means that half of Meta’s employees made more than this amount while the other half made less.

While Zuckerberg’s official salary remained at $1 in 2023, his compensation included significant perks such as $9.4 million for personal security costs. Despite his pay being categorized as “other compensation” in Meta’s filing, a significant portion went towards protecting him at his residences and during private travel.

Zuckerberg’s wealth is primarily derived from his extensive ownership of Meta stock, with an estimated net worth of $176 billion. While his compensation may seem insignificant compared to the millions spent on his security and travel, it is just one part of his overall financial picture.
