In 2020, what was the average salary for CEOs of public companies in the S&P 500?
Answer $15.5 million
For those keeping track at home: that works out to a CEO-to-worker pay ratio was 299-to-1. One surprising outlier is Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who earned the same salary throughout his tenure (1998-2020): an startlingly modest $81,840. Granted, that's just his base pay. His additional compensation, such as stock options, nudge that figure up quite a bit ($1,681,840 in 2020).
