On May 16, the Wall Street Journal cited the data of mylogiq, a financial reporting data platform, to statistically rank the salaries of CEOs of U.S. listed companies Data show that after excluding CEOs who have performed their duties for less than one year, 425 CEOs in the S & P 500 have an average annual salary of $14.67 million, setting a new record for six consecutive years
In 2021, the top 25 US stock CEOs with the highest salary threshold were all above US $35 million, of which the equity incentive accounted for about 78% of the total salary. The CEOs with the highest income basically come from the media and technology sectors. The * * number one is Peter Kern, CEO of online travel platform Expedia, with a personal salary of US $296 million (about 2 billion yuan)**
Ranked second is media tycoon David zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. exploration, with a total salary of $246 million last year; The third is Bill McDermott of servicenow, a cloud computing platform software company, with a salary of $165 million Apple CEO cook's salary was $98.73 million, ranking fourth only. Behind him is Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase, with an annual salary of $84.43 million
In addition, among the S & P 500 constituent stocks, the female CEO with the highest income is Dr. Su Zifeng of AMD, with an annual salary of US $29.5 million, including equity incentive of US $25.1 million. In addition to the above 500 listed companies, the salaries of some small and medium-sized enterprises are more crazy. Tradedesk offered the CEO $835 million, and the CEO of endeavor also received more than $300 million.
Interestingly, the salary of Elon Musk, the world's richest man, is at the bottom. The salary in 2021 is 0 yuan, and Lao Ma doesn't pay himself. In addition, Buffett's salary is only $370000, ranking slightly higher than musk** However, both of them hold a large number of shares, and no salary will not affect their 10 billion wealth at all.
It has to be said that the salary of CEOs of these technology / media giants is really too attractive. Many people can't earn their salary for a year in their whole life, and the gap is too far away. It is understood that Ma Huateng, CEO of Tencent, received more than 44 million salary last year, and Liu Chiping, President, received 323 million yuan. Although the salary of CEOs of domestic technology companies is also very high, it is still far inferior to these bosses.
