Amazon’s legal chief, David Zapolsky, has seen a significant change in his compensation, with a package worth $25.7 million last year, a stark increase from his 2023 earnings of $371,600. According to Amazon’s recent proxy statement, the substantial award includes 139,665 shares valued at $25.3 million, which are set to vest between now and 2030.
