Top Twitter execs to take home $88 million, Parag Agrawal richer by $38.7 million

Twitter’s top executives stand to make a total of $88 million between them — Parag Agrawal alone will get $38.7 million — after being ousted by Elon Musk who has finally taken over the micro-blogging platform for $44 billion.

According to Insider, the former Indian-origin CEO is set to receive the largest payout of $38.7 million, largely due “to the entirety of his shares vesting upon his firing”.

Twitter’s chief financial officer Ned Segal, is set to receive $25.4 million and Vijaya Gadde, the chief legal officer, will be richer by $12.5 million after firing.

Sarah Personette, the chief customer officer, would get $11.2 million.

Musk is expected to reorganise Twitter and cut the workforce by a massive margin.

Musk, however, told Twitter employees during his visit to its headquarters that he is not going to lay off 75 per cent of the workforce when he takes over the micro-blogging platform.
