This is how much Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp employees earn globally

Meta, the umbrella company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, stands as one of the biggest tech firms globally. It has a huge workforce ranging from semi-skilled to skilled workers.

According to the Times of India, an average worker at Meta made $379,000 last year. While, the founder Mark Zuckerberg bagged a massive $24.4 million as "compensation".

Out of Zuckerberg's $24.4 million pay-out, his official salary remained $1, a symbolic amount he has received for over a decade as his wealth has increased up to $151.2 billion.

According to the filings, out of the $24.4 million, around $9.4 million went towards his security and $1 million went into his air travel.

The tech giant employs around 67,000 people globally.

These pay numbers were revealed in a recent company filing ahead of Meta’s annual shareholder meeting.

The filing stated, "We believe that Zuckerberg's role puts him in a unique position, he is synonymous with Meta and, as a result, negative sentiment regarding our company is directly associated with and often transferred to, Zuckerberg.

"Zuckerberg is one of the most-recognised executives in the world, in large part as a result of the size of our user base and our continued exposure to global media, legislative, and regulatory attention.”
