Despite Battlefield 6 layoffs, EA paid its CEO 305x more than its average employee last year thanks to an $8 million bonus increase — and he could net another $125 million in severance as buyout looms
Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson earned 305 times the average employee's salary in fiscal year 2026, with his total compensation reaching $38.6 million, an increase of over $8 million from the previous year. This comes despite recent layoffs at Battlefield 6 studios. Wilson could also be eligible for an additional $125 million in severance if EA is acquired, a deal reportedly being considered by a consortium including the Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners.
