While we argue over a $15 minimum wage, what was the average compensation for CEOs of S&P 500 companies in 2020?

To put that in perspective, it works out to a CEO-to-worker pay ratio of 299-to-1. One surprising outlier is Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who earned the same startlingly modest salary throughout his tenure (1998-2020): $81,840. Granted, that's just his base pay. His additional compensation, such as stock options, nudge that figure up a touch (to $1,681,840 in 2020).
