Apple might be the most profitable technology company on the planet, but its chief executive’s hefty paycheck still wasn’t as high as his top rival’s last year. A new report from Reuters on Monday points out that Samsung’s mobile head JK Shin earned $5.8 million in compensation last year, 36% more than Apple CEO Tim Cook, who made $4.25 million in 2013. Cook’s pay was up slightly from the $4.17 million he earned in 2012. Samsung’s co-CEOs Kwon Oh-hyun and Yoon Boo-keun also saw huge paychecks in 2013, taking home $6.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively. Samsung, as Reuters points out, was the world’s biggest technology company by revenue in 2013.
