In addition, during the COVID-19 epidemic, the local government will issue home orders, and Kosroshahi's residence will become his private place of work.

Uber said it would assess the security risks that may be caused by Kosroshashi and provide security services accordingly. In addition, since the beginning of the security plan, the company has found that Kosroshashi, as CEO of Uber, does face some real or very credible security threats.

Jeff Bezos ($1.6 million in 2021)

Bezos is the founder and executive chairman of Amazon. In fiscal 2021, Bezos received $1.68 million in total revenue from Amazon, of which $1.6 million was "other treatment."

According to Amazon's regulatory documents, Bezos's "other benefits" mainly include spending on security services, which covers the company's internal security as well as security on business trips.

Amazon said Bezos received a small annual salary and never received a stock award, so it was reasonable for the company to bear his security expenses.

In 2019, Amazon's board of directors reportedly approved management to install bulletproof glass in Bezos's office. The project, which costs a total of $180000, is equipped with bulletproof glass that can withstand military-grade submachine gun fire.

For people who have become accustomed to the security ostentation of important people, Bezos's ostentation is also very unusual.

Bezos had previously played a role in Star Wars Trek: beyond the Stars, and actor Chris Penn (Chris Pine) said he was at the scene and saw nine private bodyguards and three limousines.

Paine said he didn't know the identity of Bezos at the time, but felt it was supposed to be a big shot.

Sandal Pichai ($4.31 million in 2021)

Google CEO Pichai's salary totaled $6.32 million in fiscal 2021, according to regulatory filings.

It is reported that in April 2018, a shooting occurred at the headquarters of Google's video company Youtube, in which a woman shot and killed three people before committing suicide. The case prompted Google to step up personal security for Pichai.

Mark Zuckerberg ($26.82 million spent in 2021)

As CEO of the US social networking giant Meta, Zuckerberg received a total salary of $26.82 million in fiscal 2021. However, Zuckerberg's official annual salary is only $1, which means that almost all salary belongs to "other benefits".

It is reported that Zuckerberg spends as much as $15.2 million on security at his private home and during travel, and he also receives another $10 million in pre-tax subsidies from the company for the security of himself and his family. In addition, his private business jet costs as much as $1.63 million.

According to the survey, Zuckerberg enjoys 24-hour bodyguard service seven days a day, and he has a shelter inside a mansion in the Bay area of California.

There is also a rumor among Meta employees that Zuckerberg's office is equipped with an "emergency chute" so that Zuckerberg and his staff can evacuate the building by lightning in the event of an accident.
