Microsoft's AI-driven rally has led to its stock reaching new highs and boosted CEO Satya Nadella's total windfall from the company to over $1 billion.
Nadella's earnings include equity grants, salary, bonuses, and dividends from Microsoft, with the stock returning over 1,000% since he became CEO in 2014.
Despite this milestone, a Microsoft spokesperson denies that Nadella's net worth is over a billion dollars.
One of Nadella's significant achievements was the multibillion-dollar investment in OpenAI and its ChatGPT bot, which has propelled Microsoft to the forefront of AI capabilities.
