Mark Zuckerberg has a net worth of $107 billion, but one of the lowest salaries at Facebook.
Not including security and plane costs, the company he founded only pays him $1 a year in base salary.
Meanwhile, many of Facebook's other employees — from software engineers to product managers, copywriters, and lawyers — can expect to make a comfortable six figures.
But how much exactly?
Business Insider reviewed salary data published by the US government to understand exactly how many employees at Facebook get paid in the US. The data is drawn from visa applications submitted by companies each year, who are required to say exactly how much they intend to pay each worker if their application is approved.
The data has limitations: It shows workers' would-be base salaries, not including stock grants. And it only gives visibility into a company's salaries where the company is trying to hire foreign workers for that role; if Facebook has never tried to hire a tax analyst on a visa, for example, it won't offer any insight into how much they get paid.
But companies are legally required to pay foreign workers the same wages they are for domestic hires — meaning the data offers a window into what Facebook is paying a huge range of roles across its organization, from engineering to design.
