HP proxy: Ray Lane’s $10 million comp and other fun facts

While 2011 was a bad year for Hewlett-Packard, it was a good year for chairman Ray Lane.

Lane, who became executive chairman of HP on September 22, 2011 (he had been non-executive chairman since November 1, 2010)  logged more than $ 10 million in total compensation — the bulk of it in stock and options — for the fiscal year, according to the HP proxy.

But check out the numbers for yourself.

Other highlights from the proxy:

Meg Whitman who famously took the HP CEO position in September for $ 1 in salary, gets $ 16 million in stock and options. Former CEO Leo Apotheker walked away with $ 30.4 million when he was fired by HP last September.
