In 2024, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) CEO Tim Cook saw a significant increase in his annual compensation despite the company&#8217;s controversies over its AI and Siri privacy policies.
What Happened: Cook&#8217;s total compensation for 2024 rose by 18% from the previous year, reaching $74.6 million,&nbsp;the company said in a proxy filing on Friday. 
This increase was primarily due to a rise in stock awards, which amounted to $58.1 million, and non-equity incentive plan compensation, which was $12 million.

Cook&#8217;s base salary remained $3 million for the third consecutive year. The company&#8217;s compensation committee also decided to raise the target value of Cook&#8217;s equity award to $50 million from $40 million, citing benchmark data for peer CEOs&#8217; pay.
Meanwhile, three senior executives — former Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri, General Counsel Kate Adams, and Deirdre O&#8217;Brien, who leads retail and HR — each earned a total compensation of $27,179,257. Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams received a slightly lower package, with his compensation totaling $27,177,812.
Why It Matters: Apple has been under scrutiny for its AI and Siri privacy policies. The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42836957/apple-acknowledges-ai-flaws-after-bbc-complaint-vows-fix-for-misleading-news-summaries">acknowledged flaws in its AI features</a> after a complaint from the BBC.
Apple also settled a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42890955/apple-clarifies-siri-privacy-policies-after-95-million-settlement"> $95 million lawsuit </a>over allegations of unauthorized recordings through Siri. Apple reaffirmed its privacy stance, stating it has never used or sold Siri data for marketing or advertising purposes. A recent settlement could benefit millions of U.S. Apple device users from September 2014 to December 2024.
Last week, UBS&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42760822/ubs-cuts-iphone-sales-forecast-for-december-as-apple-faces-stiff-competition-from-other-players">forecasted weaker iPhone sales for December</a>, citing declining demand and falling market share in China. However, the company&#8217;s stock has remained resilient, indicating investor confidence in Apple&#8217;s long-term prospects.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Cook&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42801809/apple-ceo-tim-cook-reportedly-donates-1-million-to-trump-inauguration-joins-ranks-of-mark-zuckerberg-jeff-bezos-and-sam-altman">donated $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s inaugural committee</a>, joining the ranks of other major tech leaders. This move was seen as a significant one, given the political climate at the time.

Kevin O'Leary, better known as &#8220;Mr. Wonderful&#8221; on Shark Tank, has built an empire by doing one thing well: listening. Whether it's his investments, business ventures or career advice, O'Leary says tuning into the market – and people – has been his secret weapon.
So what would he do if he weren't in finance? He answered that himself on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2517803078410533">&#8220;What would I be doing? </a>What I&#8217;m always doing: I&#8217;m listening to the market. I&#8217;m a salesperson. I sell stuff.&#8221;
Here's how his strategy could be a game-changer for your wallet.

<li>It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a></li>
<li>The global games market is projected to generate $272B by the end of the year —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gameflip"> for $0.55/share, this VC-backed startup with a 7M+ userbase gives investors easy access to this asset market.</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Solving Problems, Selling Solutions</h2>
O'Leary doesn't just invest; he identifies pain points. Problems people are dealing with every day. Then, he finds solutions and sells them. That's the game, he says. It's not rocket science – it's about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42293874/corporate-america-got-lost-with-idiot-management-and-inability-to-read-the-room-says-kevin-oleary-citing-target-and-anheuser-busch">staying in tune</a> with people&#8217;s needs and delivering it.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Listening Matters</h2>
In the fast-moving world of business and finance, O'Leary believes listening isn't just important – it's critical. "The lesson is: Listen to your gut because that is your experience [talking]," he told CNBC, as reported by Sportskeeda.
But it's not just about intuition. He relies on hard data, too. And the results speak for themselves. "This is real data: 75% of my returns have come from companies run by women," he said.
O'Leary trusts both his instincts and the numbers. It's a balance that could help any investor.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Cost Of Risk</h2>
Even with all his success, O'Leary isn't shy about discussing the risks. &#8220;No matter how you feel and how optimistic you are, in the moment of making an investment, you have no idea of the outcome,&#8221; he explained.
The takeaway? Even the best in the business can't predict every move. That's why O'Leary stresses the importance of being realistic and prepared.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Truth Hurts, But It Works</h2>
O'Leary is known for his bluntness and he doesn't apologize for it. "Maybe people think I&#8217;m bullying them. That's not true. I'm the only guy there who tells the truth all the time," he told Business Insider.

And while the truth may sting, it's often the wake-up call entrepreneurs and investors need to succeed.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Takeaway For Your Finances</h2>
Listening – whether to the market, the data or your instincts – might just be your most valuable <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/01/42768256/to-survive-no-matter-what-kevin-oleary-says-you-need-5m-in-the-bank-you-can-take-care-of-a-lot-of-people">financial skill.</a> Like O'Leary, focus on solving problems, trust the numbers and be brutally honest about risks.
It's not about being perfect. It's about staying sharp, curious and in the game. As O'Leary puts it, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1529010681077975">&#8220;That's how you win.</a> Always.&#8221;

Expert Systems, a hybrid AI enabled drug discovery and development accelerator, announced a significant milestone in a development of Traws Pharma, Inc. 's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRAW#NASDAQ">TRAW</a>) H5N1 antiviral program. The investigational drug, Tivoxavir Marboxil, has shown encouraging results as a single-dose treatment for H5N1 avian influenza, representing a potentially pivotal advance in addressing this serious health challenge.
Tivoxavir Marboxil, an oral cap-dependent endonuclease inhibitor, targets a highly conserved influenza protein, demonstrating broad-spectrum efficacy against various flu strains, including avian influenza. Preclinical studies have highlighted its potent activity against drug-resistant and highly pathogenic bird flu viruses, both in vitro and in vivo.
In a recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1 clinical trial, the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single ascending doses of Tivoxavir Marboxil were evaluated in healthy, influenza-negative adult volunteers. The trial reported no treatment-related adverse events. Notably, a single dose maintained plasma drug levels above the effective concentration (EC90) for over 23 days, indicating the potential for sustained efficacy with a one-time administration.
