The Chief Legal Officer, Daniel Gallagher, made $30M this year. It breaks down into $257k cash, $4.2M bonus and $25.5M in stocks and options. This is a far larger amount than any other executive.

In 2011-2015, Daniel Gallagher was 1 of 5 Commissioners of the SEC (Securities and Exchange _Commission_), the highest role of the SEC, appointed by the US President.

He was hired by Robinhood in May 2020, and his previous job was at WilmerHale, a firm specializing in defending other firms against the SEC.

This guy must be worth his weight in gold in avoiding regulatory fines for Robinhood.
