7. There are obviously many, many CEOs who make more than $1.00/year...

...so what exactly is the logic for how these 100 CEOs were chosen, then ranked by pay, with Google's Lawrence Page at the bottom with a dollar per year, still somehow making it into the supposed top 100? Even Warren Buffet's nominal salary of $485,606 has got to be well below the top 100 of all CEOs if ranked by nominal salary alone.

Of course, most of these guys make way, WAY more money via bonuses and stock options, but it's not clear if and how such things figure into the 100 names they decided to list and rank.
