Parag Agrawal, 37 years old and an IIT-Bombay graduate replaced Jack Dorsey as the new Twitter chief executive officer. He was previously working as the CTO so one must remember that money was great. However, as per various reports, Parag  will receive an annual salary of around $1 million-plus bonuses, the company mentioned in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

As far as stock options are concerned, Parag Agrawal will also be entitled to receive restricted stock units valued at $12.5 million, along with performance-based restricted stock units in April 2022.
