Figma CEO Dylan Field’s $1.9 Billion Pay Package Hinges on Post-IPO Performance

Figma CEO Dylan Field stands to unlock a staggering $1.9 billion payday if the design software company's stock reaches $130 within a decade of its IPO. The recently public company's shares surged to $108 in early trading—well above its $33 IPO price—putting Field's performance-based compensation within striking distance.

The executive's pay package includes 14.5 million restricted stock units tied to seven price hurdles. A $60 share price WOULD yield $130 million, while hitting the $130 target triggers the full nine-figure payout. Field also holds 22.5 million shares from earlier 2021 awards, including $670 million in vested Class B stock.

Figma's blockbuster debut underscores the outsized rewards for tech founders who navigate volatile public markets. The compensation structure mirrors Silicon Valley's high-risk, high-reward ethos—with Field's potential windfall eclipsing many crypto market caps.
