Mansfield has been an active seller of Apple's stock. Last year he sold 99% of his Apple shares for $13.7 million. In the fall before that he sold $11 million worth of shares.

Earlier this year, Apple announced the retirement of Mansfield. He had been leading the hardware engineering group. Employees were distraught about his departure, and didn't think his replacement could handle the job.

Tim Cook convinced Mansfield to stay at the company by giving him a lot of money and a new set of responsibilities. Also, he fired Scott Forstall, who Mansfield did not like.
