CEO Salaries Defined

July 30th, 2007 by Paul

For all of you who have been curious about CEO compensation. You can find a lot of how they are specifically paid here at this website.

As for a brief quote, I thought the following was most interesting:

2006 CEO Compensation (millions)

The Top 10 CEO compensation packages of 2006 follow:

1. Steven P. Jobs, Apple - 646.60
2. Ray R Irani, Occidental Petroleum - 321.64
3. Barry Diller, IAC/InterActiveCorp - 295.14
4. William P Foley II, Fidelity National Finl - 179.56
5. Terry S Semel, Yahoo - 174.20
7. Angelo R Mozilo, Countrywide Financial - 141.98
8. Michael S Jeffries, Abercrombie & Fitch - 114.64
9. Kenneth D Lewis, Bank of America - 99.80
10. Henry C Duques, First Data - 98.21

I don’t know if it is fair or not, but that is just how the world seems to work. If you want to make that hundreds or tens of millions you need to read about how they got there- instead of just drooling about the dollar signs.
