It depends, but if he is an officer of the company (not all VPs are), total compensation can be in the $750,000 to million range, or more, depending on company performance. A big chunk of his compensation is probably based on the performance of the company and his division and probably includes stock options.

Really depends. In some companies VPs are a dime a dozen. If he's a real Exec VP it might be meaningful. Some of the top salaries are public- in the annual report.

Ballpark $750.

Assume this is Exxon.

This. The VP title has grown virtually meaningless with the endless reconfiguring from consultants and HR finagling. Salary could range anywhere from just above the manager immediately below the "VP" to second from the COO. At my company, you become "VP" after managing a small team for a few years. Most VPs at my company are 5-8 years into their careers (low six-figures). I'm in government contracting btw.

OP here. I think hes a "real" VP - been with the company from the start so more like 20 - 25 years +. This is a big oil company.

I worked for a such a oil company in the past. I have never seen so many VPs in a company. I'm use to 4 or 5 or less in my field.
