$36.6 million in pay, bonuses and
stock last year after just six months
at the helm of the Internet firm, with
some of that time spent on maternity
leave.
Mayer's base pay of $454,862 was
fattened with a $1.12 million
performance bonus and about $35
million in stock, according to a filing
Tuesday with the US Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Mayer's annual base pay this year will
be one million dollars and she is
eligible for many times that amount in
stock and bonuses if she hangs on to
the post.
Beginning this year, Mayer will also be
eligible to enjoy benefits generally
available to other top Yahoo
executives, such as 20 days of
vacation annually.
In addition to a $1 million annual
salary, Mayer will get $2 million yearly
in bonus cash if Yahoo hits financial
performance marks, according to
paperwork filed with the SEC.
Mayer - one of Google's first
employees - became one of the most
prominent women in Silicon Valley
when she was appointed Yahoo chief
executive in July.
She was the first female engineer at
Google and among its high-ranking
executives when she left for the
Yahoo post.
Mayer, who will turn 38 in May, gave
birth to her first child in October.
Yahoo has been re-inventing itself as
a premier online content venue since
the pioneering Internet search firm
found itself withering in Google's
shadow.
