Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. CEO Marc Casper Salary & Net Worth

Who Is Marc Casper?

Marc Casper is both the President and the CEO of Thermo Fisher Scientific. This means he is responsible for overseeing the operations of one of the most important providers of scientific instruments, scientific consumables, and related products. Something that can be seen in the fact that Thermo Fisher Scientific earned more than $6 billion in net income in 2020. As such, Casper was well-compensated in said year. Something that can also be said for his previous years in those positions.

What Is Marc Casper's Salary?

In 2020, Casper received $26,390,073 in total compensation. Out of this, just $1,550,000 came from his salary. Instead, most came from a combination of his stock awards - $8,050,380 - and his option awards - $8,232,516. Besides them, Casper also received $7,750,000 in non-equity incentives as well as $807,177 in other forms of compensation.

It is interesting to note that Casper was much better-compensated in 2020 than in 2019 and 2018, which had comparable figures. For those who are curious, he is said to have received $19,023,145 in compensation in 2019 and $18,607,103 in compensation in 2018. His base pay was much the same in those years as it was in 2020. Similarly, his stock awards were much the same as well. Instead, most of the difference came from much lower numbers for both option awards and non-equity incentives.

What Is Marc Casper's Net Worth?

Most businesspeople don't attract a great deal of interest from the general public. Due to this, there tends to be little information about their financial status unless they have been involved in either a particularly notable transaction or some other event important enough to make it into general news. Still, a lack of information isn't quite the same as none whatsoever.

In Casper's case, there is an estimate that he has at least $220 million when it comes to his net worth. Unfortunately, this isn't a very good estimate. In short, the at least $220 million figure comes from three things. One, he owns Thermo Fisher Scientific stock that is worth more than $108 million. Two, he has sold Thermo Fisher Scientific stock worth more than $92 million. Three, he made more than $26 million in 2020. People should have no problem spotting some of the holes in this estimate. Still, it should be enough to provide them with a very rough sense of the kind of money that Casper has made over the course of his career.

What Do We Know about Marc Casper's Personal Life?

Generally speaking, the public doesn't know too much about the families of businesspeople. However, Casper is something of an exception in this regard because he is married to a public figure in her own right. In short, Casper got married to Denise Jefferson in 1994, which was when he was still studying for his MBA while she was set to become a law clerk. Nowadays, Casper runs Thermo Fisher Scientific. Meanwhile, Denise Jefferson Casper is a U.S. District Judge. Moreover, she has the distinction of being the first black woman to serve as a judge on the federal bench in the state of Massachusetts.
