Welltower Co-President and CFO Timothy McHugh received a pay package of nearly $167 million in 2025, making him the highest-paid finance chief in the U.S. That figure tops the $139 million that Tesla's Vaibhav Taneja took home in 2024, previously the highest on record for a U.S. finance chief. Stock awards worth roughly $164 million accounted for nearly all of McHugh's 2025 package, a dramatic jump from his $7.2 million in total compensation the prior year, driven by Welltower's 10-year Executive Continuity and Alignment Program adopted in October 2025. None of those equity grants can be accessed for five years, with shares becoming redeemable in monthly installments from October 2030 through September 2035. Across all U.S. public companies, McHugh was among just three CFOs whose 2025 pay crossed the $100 million threshold, according to The Wall Street Journal.
