20. Nonprofit millionaire CEO's
Mon Oct 27, 2025, 02:20 PM
Oct 2025

Example:
In 2023, Matthew E. Bershadker, the President and CEO of the ASPCA, had a total compensation of $1,203,267, which included a $750,000 base salary, $276,000 in bonuses, and $47,859 in benefits.
Those ads, and others like them, drive me nuts when they exploit pitiful animals to trick you into supporting this CEO's lavish lifestyle. The US tax code ought to be rewritten to put a cap on executive compensation to remain qualified as a tax exempt charitable organization. But it probably won't be because too many politicians launder their slush funds through similar nonprofit companies and organizations.
BTW, why does a nonprofit CEO receive a "bonus?" Corporate CEO's usually earn a bonus for having increased PROFITS and share value.
