Andrew Wilson, the CEO of Electronic Arts, has been compensated significantly compared to the median earnings of EA employees. In FY2025, he earned a remarkable 260 times the salary of the average employee, which has decreased to the lowest levels since 2022.

Compensation Overview

• Wilson’s base salary has stagnated at $1.3 million over the last three years. However, he has accrued over $29 million in total compensation for the fiscal year. This includes nearly $25.7 million in stock awards and $2.8 million in bonuses.

Employee Pay Decline

• Meanwhile, the earnings of EA’s median employee fell to $117,302 in FY2025, a drop from $148,704 in FY2024. This shift has raised concerns about widening wage disparity within the company as Wilson’s pay has soared while employees see reductions in their compensation.

It’s evident that the compensation structure at EA raises questions about equity and its impact on morale among employees, particularly in a challenging economic climate for the gaming industry.
