Instagram head Adam Mosseri's compensation came under scrutiny during a social media addiction trial, revealing a salary of $900,000 per year and stock-based pay in the tens of millions of dollars, according to Fortune. The trial, held in Los Angeles on Wednesday, involved a 20-year-old plaintiff alleging mental health issues stemming from social media addiction. Meanwhile, the FBI announced it would increase the reward to $100,000 for information leading to the location of Nancy Guthrie or to the arrest of a suspect, as reported by Variety.
Mosseri, who has led Instagram since 2016, also receives annual performance-based bonuses that can reach up to half his salary, according to multiple outlets covering the trial, as reported by Fortune. His stock-based pay varies yearly, but has been over $20 million in some years, he said. The plaintiff's lawyer brought up Mosseri's compensation during the trial.
