Amy Hood, executive vice president and CFO at Microsoft, was the second highest-paid executive listed in the proxy statement with a total pay package of $20.2 million for fiscal 2019. That was up 36 percent from $14.9 million during the previous fiscal year. Along with a comparatively modest base salary bump of $83,000, Hood saw an increase of $3.2 million in stock awards during the year.

Hood "supported record year financial performance and management with revenue growth of 14% and operating income growth of 23% and returned over $30 billion in cash to shareholders through stock buybacks and dividends," Microsoft said in the proxy filing.
