How Does Total Compensation For Tyler Glover Compare With Other Companies In The Industry?

According to our data, Texas Pacific Land Corporation has a market capitalization of US$27b, and paid its CEO total annual compensation worth US$6.1m over the year to December 2023. That is, the compensation was roughly the same as last year. While this analysis focuses on total compensation, it's worth acknowledging that the salary portion is lower, valued at US$850k.

In comparison with other companies in the American Oil and Gas industry with market capitalizations over US$8.0b, the reported median total CEO compensation was US$14m. Accordingly, Texas Pacific Land pays its CEO under the industry median. What's more, Tyler Glover holds US$5.7m worth of shares in the company in their own name, indicating that they have a lot of skin in the game.
