D’Amelio is very well positioned among the highest earning TikTok stars of 2021 thanks to their millions of followers who are fans of her clothing line, products that she promotes on the social network of short videos and other ads.
An analysis of MyLogIQ data from the Wall Street Journal found that the median salary of US CEOs was $13.4 million dollars in 2020. Figures include stock and option awards, which typically make up the bulk of executive pay, as well as annual salary and bonuses, benefits, and some types of retirement benefits.
It is important to note that so far, only a few CEO compensation figures have been published for 2021, however the reference of 2020 is valid and recent for the comparison.
Including Charli D’Amelio won at 2021 more than she earned at 2019 Apple CEO Tim Cook when he received $14.8 million. Although the income of the leader of Apple went through the roof because in 2021 he obtained close to $100 millions, a figure that the influencer has not yet reached.
D’Amelio still earns more than several CEOs of large publicly traded companies:
Darren Woods of Exxon Mobil Corp., received $15.6 million dollars (2020)
Kevin Johnson of Starbucks Corp., earned $14.7 million
Ed Bastian of Delta Air Lines Inc. added $13.1 million
Chris Kempczinski of McDonald’s Corp., $10.8 million
For Dixie D’Amelio, Charli’s older sister, who barely has half the number of followers, things were not They were so bad, as she was the second biggest TikTok earner last year, according to Forbes, having raised $10 millions of dollars.
What Dixie earns is similar to the pay received by the CEO of Southwest Airlines Co., Gary Kelly
