18. AOL CEO's 2012 Compensation: $12,071,422

Thu Feb 6, 2014, 06:37 PM

Feb 2014

Tim Armstrong does not work so hard that he's worth over $12 million a year...that's nearly $12 million too much.

This CEO and ALL CEOs who are making this kind of money: No trade-offs. We take your millions away, and you be content with earning fair compensation...and STFU or "get another job if you're not happy."

American values regarding CEO pay are insane. We HAVE to realize that we're not being reasonable or rational on this pay thing and the way profits are divvied up.
