|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PLTR | Palantir Technologies Inc. | Palantir disclosed exceptionally large aircraft/security costs tied to CEO Alex Karp. In 2025, the company “incurred expenses of approximately $17.2 million for the use of the executive’s aircraft,” including costs related to personal travel under the security program. In 2024, Karp’s reported all-other-compensation included approximately $1.057 million of personal security services and $1.852 million of aircraft costs tied to personal travel and/or travel with personal guests. | Very unusual structure: aircraft is beneficially owned by the CEO and used under reimbursement/charter arrangements reviewed by the audit committee; security benefits are justified by a “bona-fide business-related security concern.” This is among the largest aircraft/security cases in the set. | Apr 24, 2026 DEF 14A, Apr 25, 2025 DEF 14A | $375.28B |
| META | Meta Platforms Inc. | Meta states that costs related to Mark Zuckerberg’s overall security program, including personal security at residences and during personal travel, annual security allowance, and private aircraft for personal travel, are reported as compensation. | Governance question is explicit: Meta says it does not consider the program a perquisite for Zuckerberg’s benefit, but still reports it as compensation under SEC rules. The program also includes an annual security allowance and private aircraft for personal travel. | Apr 16, 2026 DEF 14A | $1.61T |
| NVDA | NVIDIA Corp. | NVIDIA disclosed a comprehensive CEO security program including “residential security, security during personal travel, consultation fees, and driver services,” “security monitoring,” “car expenses,” and “travel on private aircraft for all business and occasional personal travel.” | Governance question: protections extend to Mr. Huang and his family members. NVIDIA says it does not consider these arrangements personal benefits, but reports aggregate incremental costs in all other compensation for transparency. | May 12, 2026 DEF 14A | $5.11T |
| NOW | ServiceNow Inc. | ServiceNow reported very large home-security costs for CEO Bill McDermott: $1,891,036 in 2024 for home security, including implementing systems and upgrades recommended by an independent security firm, plus $39,817 for personal use of chartered air. | One of the largest disclosed residential security figures in the set. Also included company car/driver/security for non-business purposes below disclosure threshold. | Apr 4, 2025 DEF 14A | $128.26B |
