Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg Cashes In $2.3 Billion in Options

The 28-year-old founder of the world's largest social media company also took $2 million in salary in 2012, plus $2 million in security and private air travel, according to a Friday regulatory filing.  

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg earned $2 million in 2012, up from $1.7 million a year earlier, the company said in a regulatory filing on Friday. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Zuckerberg also exercised $2.3 billion in options during the year.

Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's COO, earned $26.2 million, down from $31 million a year prior. But the vast majority of her compensation both years came via stock awards. Sandberg realized a gain of $822 million in vested stock awards on the year.
