ELI5: How do CEOs like Elon Musk, pay their bills on only a $1 a year salary?

I've heard a lot of CEOs are starting to only take $1 annually, how do they pay for things then?

Because that's not how much they get paid.

The get $1 a year in **salary**.  He also gets a few **million** a year in bonuses, stock incentives, dividends and other such payments.

Trust me, he's got plenty of money.  The $1 is basically so he can still be the CEO since its illegal to pay someone $0 (since that's slavery).
