Have you been to large corporations where you see CEOs enjoying the luxury of being one? I was at a company a few years ago and I realized that the CEO of the company had a special car park, a private elevator, and a wonderful office with a nice view. It is no doubt that CEOs are executive members of the board which attends to the affairs of the company. In so many cases, while some CEO get real good salaries, some do not get much or are even the least paid. An example is such is Larry Page who receives a salary of $1 yearly (although, this is just salary and not shares held in the company). In this post, I will be talking about a few CEOs who get good pay or are the highest paid in the world.

Shantanu Narayen

He made a total income of $39.1 million in salary and compensation. This is a very good income for a CEO. The company is a fortune 400 company. Shantanu Narayen has a net worth of $229 million.

Conclusion

Being a CEO is not something for everyone, it is also not a guarantee for a financially stable life. Most CEOs are often employed and can be fired. Also, if a particular aspect of the company isn’t working well, the CEO is often responsible for every down.
