1. On The Day I Retired (This Year)

I was making just about 1/3 that of the CEO of my orginization.

But I was a Government employee. A maxed out 12 (or an anywhere 13) makes about 1/3 of what the President does.

2. My parent's jobs...

My mother's job's CEO got $12.2M in stock and hasn't excersised $100M in stock from previous years.

My father's job's CEO got $13.29 M in stock and other compensation, but "only" $533K in unexcersised stock.


Excuse me while I go vomit.

3. I did my wife's salary to her CEO's. She would have to work 239 years

to make what her CEO made in one damn year!

4. My mother should be so lucky;

She'd have to work 723 years to make what her CEO does in one!

7. Work 723 years....WOW!!!

[LeftNYC]

5. I would have to work 339 years

to make what the CEO of Haliburton makes. 2085 baby!

6. I used to work for L-3 Communications

If my job hadn't been shipped to India, CEO Frank Lanza would be making about 93 times as much as I would. Of course, my job is in India, so Mr. Lanza is making a thousand times whatever my replacement is making....

The big money for Lanza is in his unexercised stock options though...he has $116,863,683 that he hasn't exercised yet... Add that to the mix and my number would be over 5300...

8. H. Lee Scott President & CEO Wal-Mart Stores

In 2005, H. Lee Scott raked in $17,542,908 in total compensation including stock option grants from Wal-Mart Stores.

And H. Lee Scott has another $4,537,582 in unexercised stock options from previous years.

9. Hmm -- I AM my CEO...

(So nice to be self-employed)

[MrMonk]

10. 396 years

if I was still with my former employer in a similar job to what I have now. About 550 years if I was still in the same position there. On Edit: Darn! I forgot about exercized stock options. That would increase the numbers by about 133%.

My current employer is not on the list, but I believe that it would take less than 10 years. (0 stock options).

11. That's only 5 lifetimes..

12. wow - I checked Delta's CEO expecting to see a huge salary

particularly in light of their current financial woes and expectation of pilot salary reductions

I was very surprised to see a salary of less than $400K!

Now, my own CEO - Palmisano of IBM - last year in excess of $21M. Not sure that is justified.

What a great site!

14. 21 million a year is nothing to sneeze at..

13. More than 10 to 1.

Hard to figure out just how much the Big Kahuna makes, what with his base salary, cut from the Alumni Association, Sports department, Research Park, Greeks, etc...

But he didn't make it to the AP's list of top-five overpaid college presidents, a fact that I'm SURE will be brought up at the next meeting of the Trustees.... Don't wanna lose the guy to Yale, after all...
