Nike President & CEO MARK PARKER's compensation "totaled $35.2 million for the year ending May 31 and was more than 200 percent higher than his $11 million compensation" in FY '11, according to a regulatory filing cited by Allan Brettman of the Portland OREGONIAN. Parker's compensation "includes salary, stock awards and other payments."
