DISCOVERY CEO David Zaslav was the top-paid chief executive of 2018 in a pay study by Equilar for the AP — with total compensation valued at $129.5 million.
Study shows a widening pay divide at big firms
With more of their income tied to stock prices, CEOs saw a 7% raise last year, versus 3% for their workers.
Did you get a 7% raise last year? Congratulations,yours was in line with what CEOs at the biggest companies got. But for chief executives,that 7% was roughly $800,000.
Pay for chief executives at S&P 500 companies rose to a median of $12 million last year, including salary, stock and other compensation, according to data analyzed by Equilar for the Associated Press.
The eight-figure packages continue to rise as companies tie more of their CEOs’ pay to their stock prices, which are still near record levels, and as profits hit an all-time high last year because of lower tax bills and a still-growing economy.
Pay for typical workers at these companies isn’t rising nearly as quickly. The median increase was 3% last year,less than half the growth for the top bosses. Median means half were larger, and half were smaller.
The survey showed that it would take 158 years for the typical worker at most big companies to make what their CEO did in 2018, seven years longer than if both were still at 2017 pay levels.And when top executives are already making so much more than their employees,the bigger percentage raises compound the widening financial gap.
Anger about widening income inequality is rising around the world, from Capitol Hill to protests in streets.But it’s only slowly seeping into the conference rooms where boards of directors set the pay for CEOs. Boards are often more concerned with what a competitor may pay to poach their CEO than how much more that person makes versus the rest of the workforce.
“It’s a natural thing for a CEO and a board to say,‘How are others who are doing similar work paid?’ And there’s a natural sense that if the board believes and supports their CEO, they don’t expect their CEO to be paid less than the others in the industry,” said Eric Hosken, a partner at Compensation Advisory Partners, a consulting firm that works with boards.
Investors — the ultimate corporate bosses who have the power to vote directors off the board — also continue to vote overwhelmingly in favor of executive pay packages at the biggest companies,though the margins have been decreasing.
“There’s a belief that if we underpay our CEO, they can go work in private equity.They can go work for a competitor.They will find places to go,” Hosken said.
The AP’s CEO compensation study included pay data for 340 executives at S&P 500 companies who have served at least two full consecutive fiscal years at their companies, which filed proxy statements between Jan. 1 and April 30.
Some companies with highly paid CEOs did not fit these criteria and were excluded,such as Safra Catz and Mark Hurd, co-CEOs of Oracle. Each had compensation valued at $108.3 million last fiscal year, but Oracle usually files its proxy statement in September because its fiscal year ends in May. Tesla’s Elon Musk had compensation valued at $2.28 billion, but his company is not in the S&P 500.（本文较长，请获取完整报纸继续阅读）
