In Cupertino they know the importance of Tim Cook so that Apple continues on the right path, and hence they do not put any limit on spending for the safety of their CEO, something on the other hand totally logical and normal. We cannot forget that Apple has more money than many countries, so the importance of its leader is capital worldwide.
It's not the only one
While it might be thought that the CEO of the most important company in the world at this time would be the one with the highest security expense, the truth is that it is not. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has a spending of more than one and a half million dollars, a figure that is also reached by his professional colleague Larry Elison, CEO of the Oracle company.
These expenses seem exorbitant, but it must be taken into account that in a simple trip to another country (something totally normal in high-level managers) they move a lot security personnel, so the expenses end up skyrocketing. And on the other hand, for a company that generates billions of dollars and that pays its managers in tens of millions of dollars annually, an expense of $ 699,133 (exact figure for the past fiscal year) represents a minimal effort compared to many other items.
We will be attentive next year to see what is the amount you spend Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, but it will probably increase as office and store openings around the world do not seem to stop growing.
