ICE's CORPORATE
COLLABORATORS: EXPOSED
How Microsoft cashed in on Trump’s tax handouts—and helped ICE track, detain, and deport families.
$978 million
Based on SEC proxy statements, Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, received an estimated cumulative ordinary income of $978 million from 2018 through 2024.
$25.4 million
From this estimate his personal tax cut from the 2017 Trump-GOP tax law could be $25.4 million over that same period, just from the reduced top tax bracket.
Over that same period (2018 to 2024) the CEO’s total pay was
273 times more
than the median Microsoft worker’s salary.
The collective compensation (excluding vested stock and exercised options) of the top five Microsoft executives from 2018 to 2024 was
$835 million
In the four years before the 2017 Trump-GOP tax law was enacted Microsoft paid an average effective tax rate of 59% on an average annual domestic profit of
$4.1 billion
In the seven years following that tax law’s enactment, Microsoft paid an average effective tax rate of
20%
on average annual domestic profit of $42 billion.
That change is equivalent to an annual tax cut for Microsoft of
$16.5 billion
per year.
Over the last 12 years (2013 to 2024), Microsoft spent $184 billion on dividends and $221 billion on stock buybacks.
Microsoft has received at least $2.8 billion in federal contracts in recent years, including $45 million for homeland security.
Microsoft has spent over
$9 million
influencing federal elections through campaign donations over the last decade.
It also spent
$97 million
lobbying members of Congress on legislation during that same time period.
On top of that, Microsoft gave the Trump Inaugural Committee
$750,000
in 2024.
