I'm just plunking a few companies into Bloomberg to see what the CEO salaries are. CSCO from '02-'04, salary = $0 ORCL from '02-'05, salary = $0 Ford from '01 to '05 salary = $0 (I'm starting to think Bloomberg is broken.....), lets see TYC 03=$279mm, '04 & '05 = $1.5m GE, '01-'05, about $3m per year BHP, '01-'05, about $1m per year On average these salaries don't look to crazy to me. If you run a $50 billion market cap corporation (and hopefully run it well), a million per year or so seems a reasonable paycheck. And the above also supports my claim that options as a % of CEO's salary ranges from 0 to 90%. I'll bet lots of S&P 500 CEOs have years when they sell their option grants and the amounts dwarf their salaries that year. I don't have a link for you, but if you understand stock-based compensation you wouldn't disagree.
