Equilar, an employee compensation company, released the
Equilar 100,
CEO compensation at the largest 100 companies by revenue. Leading the
list for 2016 was Thomas Rutledge, CEO of Charter Communications, who
made about $98 million. In a distant second place was Mark Parker, CEO
of Nike, who took home about $47.6 million. Warren Buffett, CEO of
Berkshire Hathaway, brought home only $487,881 during 2016, the only CEO
on the list to make less than $3 million. Of course you needn't worry
for him, Warren is still worth about $73 billion.
