If Marissa Mayer ends up leaving Yahoo when Verizon’s deal to buy the ailing web giant closes, she could walk away having made $219 million during her four-year tenure as chief executive.
The woman tasked with saving Yahoo raked in $114.7 million in cash and vest shares between 2012, when she joined the company, and 2015, according to a report by Equilar, a firm that tracks data on compensation. Add to that another $4 million in vested stock this year, plus $43.4 million in options she could still purchase.
She also stands to make nearly $57 million in severance if Verizon fires her after the sale is completed.
The embattled boss said Monday she plans to stay at Yahoo now that Verizon bought the 22-year-old Silicon Valley pioneer for $4.8 billion, though it’s unclear in what capacity she would remain.
