list of the most highly-paid CEOs of publicly-traded corporations

The New York Times/Equilar list of the most highly-paid CEOs of publicly-traded corporations was out this weekend. In case you missed it, number one on the list was a Malaysian: Hock Tan, who heads global chip maker Broadcom, best known recently because its effort to take over Qualcomm was blocked by the Trump administration for national security reasons. Tan had total compensation of $103 million last year–mostly in stock awards. Other CEOs in the top ten:

2. First Data’s Frank Bisignano at $102 million

3. Live Nation’s Michael Rapino at $71 million

4. CBS’ Leslie Moonves at $68 million

5. Liberty Media’s Gregory Maffei at $67 million

6. TransDigm’s Nicholas Howley at $61 million

7. Altice USA’s Dexter Goel at $54 million

8. Time Warner’s Jeffrey Bewkes at $49 million

9. FleetCor Technologies’ Ronald Clarke at $45 million

10. TripAdvisor’s Stephen Kaufer at $43 million

 

Thanks. I don't own equities of any of these companies, and certainly will avoid long positions in any of these companies.
