In 2018, for instance, Google CEO Sundar Pichai earned $1.88 million, which was only 0.0014% of Google’s $136.8 billion in revenue.<ref>[https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/File:Sec.gov_Archives_edgar_data_1652044_000130817918000222_lgoog2018-def14a.htm.pdf Alphabet Inc. 2018 Proxy Statement]</ref><ref>[https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/File:20180204_alphabet_10K.pdf Alphabet Inc. 2018 10-K Filing]</ref> By 2023, his compensation had increased to $8.8 million, yet it still amounted to just 0.0029% of Google’s staggering $307.4 billion in revenue.<ref>[https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/File:Google_def-14a_2023.pdf Alphabet Inc. 2023 Proxy Statement]</ref><ref>[https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/File:Goog-10-k-2023.pdf Alphabet Inc. 2023 10-K Filing]</ref> In stark contrast, Mozilla’s leadership has consistently taken home a much larger percentage of the organization's revenue, despite its financial struggles and crushing defeat in browser market share. In 2018, Mitchell Baker received $2.46 million, amounting to 0.55% of Mozilla’s total combined revenue of $450.9 million.<ref>[https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/File:Mozilla-2018-form-990.pdf Mozilla Foundation 2018 Form 990]</ref><ref>[https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/File:Mozilla-fdn-2018-short-form-final-0926.pdf Mozilla Foundation 2018 Financial Statement]</ref> By 2023, as Mozilla’s total combined revenue increased to $653 million, executive compensation stayed disproportionately high: Baker received $6.22 million (0.95% of total revenue).<ref>[https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/File:B200-mozilla-foundation-form-990-public-disclosure-ty23.pdf Mozilla Foundation 2023 Form 990]</ref><ref>[https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/File:Mozilla-fdn-2023-fs-final-1209.pdf Mozilla Foundation 2023 Financial Statement]</ref> Meanwhile, Mark Surman, who only works for the Mozilla Foundation (non-profit), earned $661,886, which accounted for 1.02% of the Foundation’s $64.7 million in revenue.<ref>[https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/File:B200-mozilla-foundation-form-990-public-disclosure-ty23.pdf Mozilla Foundation 2023 Form 990]</ref><ref>[https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/File:Mozilla-fdn-2023-fs-final-1209.pdf Mozilla Foundation 2023 Financial Statement]</ref> The disparity between Mozilla’s executive pay and its financial performance is shocking. Google, a company with far more market success, compensates its CEO at a fraction of its revenue, while Mozilla, a failing browser in terms of market share, provides a much higher percentage of its limited revenue to executive salaries of individuals that contribute no code.
