Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards
at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s

Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more.

Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. is a hospitality company founded in 1919, headquartered in McLean, and led by President and Chief Executive Officer Christopher J. Nassetta. It operates hotel brands spanning luxury, lifestyle, full service, focused service, all-suites and timeshare categories.
Its main role is usually not to own the hotel building. Hilton manages hotels for third-party owners or licenses its brands, operating systems, booking channels and related programs to hotel owners that run their own properties. It also leases or operates a smaller ownership portfolio, where it sells rooms, food and beverages, and other hotel services directly to guests.
