Jeff Bezos, founder and former CEO of Amazon, is currently the world’s third richest person, but his official salary remains surprisingly low. Despite having a net worth of about $254 billion, Bezos has kept the same base salary for decades. According to company filings, he earns just $81,400 a year — an amount that is lower than what many professionals earn today. Bezos has been drawing this salary since 1998, when it was slightly increased from around $79,000. Since then, it has remained unchanged. Company documents state that Bezos chose not to take additional compensation and has never accepted higher cash pay.
