CEO compensation is up 1,000% from what it used to be. Worker pay? Not so much. Aarthi Swa

Hmmm, seems sustainable and healthy for our society right?

According to the report, CEOs now make 278 times more than their workers. Comparatively, in 1965 a CEO was only making 20 times more.

The peak was in 2000, at the height of the tech bubble, when a CEO was making 368 times as much as the typical worker.

That number fell because of the stock market declines, which “led to a substantial paring back of CEO compensation,” the report stated.

1. CEOs are not paid to run the company.

They're paid to manage the stock price and the expectations of institutional investors. The equity performance of the company is divorced from the performance of the every day operations of the company.

2. I can't understand having or even wanting that much money and property.

It's no dream of mine.
