Mark Zuckerberg's base salary is nearly nothing—but try protecting him. The Facebook CEO's security bill reached $20 million as he went on "an apology tour" during the company's "year from hell," reports Business Insider. An SEC filing on Friday shows Facebook paid him only $1 in 2018 but spent almost $10 million on the billionaire's personal protection and another $10 million on "additional costs" keeping him and his family safe. That's up significantly from Zuckerberg's 2017 security bill of $7.3 million. The filing also reveals that COO Sheryl Sandberg banked $23.7 million in 2018, per the Guardian.
