Aren't they though? I mean sure the CEOs of large, well known companies are paid many millions, but they are the highest paid CEOs. Seeing CEOs getting paid 100 million a year gets headlines, but most aren't paid that much. I wouldn't be surprised if the median CEO total compensation is less than 500k a year.
If that's accurate, also crazy is 90th percentile and mean are almost the same at 2.216 million vs 2.214 million. So the top 10% is completely dominating the total compensation for CEOs.
If only CEOs were paid so little...
