These CEOs Have the Biggest Pay Packages in the U.S., According to a New Report
CEO salaries are growing at the biggest companies in the U.S., while employee wages simultaneously grow but at a slower rate.
A Monday study created for the Associated Press by Equilar paints a broad picture of pay packages awarded to hundreds of CEOs last year.
The study focused on S&P 500 companies, narrowing the list to 341 CEOs in their positions for at least two consecutive years to avoid inflated numbers caused by sign-on bonuses.
