Tim Cook gets a 46 percent pay raise in 2017

The statement continues by saying that any time an Apple private jet is used by Cook for personal travel, costs are to be considered as extra compensation, on which the CEO would need to pay the appropriate taxes.

"As an additional security measure for Mr. Cook, the Board also requires that he use private aircraft for all business and personal travel", Apple wrote in the filing. The board of directors said in a statement that the decision, which took effect this year, was "in the interests of security and efficiency based on our global profile and the highly visible nature of Mr. Cook's role as CEO".

It's been a good year for Apple and its CEO Tim Cook. Cook also has about 2.9 million additional unvested that haven't vested, according to the filing, worth over $450 million, according to the SEC filing.
