Tesla's board chair, Robyn Denholm, has made $198 million in the past six months selling Tesla stock that she earned for serving on the board.
This brings her total profit on the sale of Tesla stock to more than $530 million since late 2018, significantly surpassing her peers at other top U.S. companies.
The share sales have raised questions about Ms. Denholm's confidence in Tesla's prospects, especially as Tesla's car sales plunged and quarterly profits fell to a four-year low.
Ms. Denholm earned the right to buy the shares through stock options granted by Tesla between 2014 and 2020, allowing her to purchase shares at a lower price than their current value.
