The Highest-Paid CEOs in the U.S. – Who Earns Over $1 Billion Annually

What does a new study from C-Suite Comp, a data analytics company that tracks the compensation of leaders in nearly 4,000 publicly traded companies in the U.S show

Newsroom June 26 03:01

The highest-paid CEOs in the U.S. are not necessarily leading the world’s largest companies. Some executives at smaller tech and stock market firms earn more than those at Apple, Blackstone, and other significant players on the Fortune 500 list. This information comes from a new study by C-Suite Comp, a data analysis company that tracks the compensation of leaders at nearly 4,000 publicly traded companies in the U.S.
