Whitman, who has served as CEO of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) since September of 2011, is another executive whose annual salary is just $1. Most of her compensation comes from stock and option awards.

Total compensation is calculated as the sum of base salary, discretionary and performance-based cash bonuses, the grant-date fair value of stock and option awards during the fiscal year, and other compensation like benefits and perks. Equilar, an executive compensation research firm, prepared the data by looking at CEOs of technology companies that filed proxies by June 3, 2013.
