During his time at MGP Ingredients, Gus Griffin's stock holdings fluctuated significantly. Although specific numbers for stock holdings are not detailed in the data, his performance-driven approach allowed him to accumulate substantial value from stock awards during peak business years. For instance, in 2018, his total compensation was the highest at over $1.5 million, largely due to vested stock units and bonuses tied to MGP's performance metrics. Entering his tenure, Gus strategically invested in the growth of the company, diversifying its whiskey offerings and increasing market share. As he retired in May 2020, his remaining stock value and the accumulated wealth reflected a successful performance period, showcasing a strong alignment with shareholder interests, typical of an executive with deep industry experience.
