Compensation History

See how much did Adam L. Michaels make over time.

In the fiscal year of 2023, Adam L. Michaels earned a total compensation of $135,417, comprising only his salary with no bonuses, stock awards, or other forms of compensation reported. This minimalist package reflects Mama's Creations' philosophy of tying pay firmly to actual company performance. In contrast, his previous year’s compensation structure included a base salary of $325,000 and a potential bonus of $135,000. The absence of bonuses and equity compensation suggests a strong alignment of incentives where he and the company share in the risks and rewards directly.
