The most outrageous CEO salaries and perks

Running a company comes with a significant amount of responsibility, but many CEOs enjoy salaries and perks that more than compensate them for the added stress. Along with the corner offices and high salaries, CEO jobs come with numerous rewards ranging from private jet access to handsome retirement packages.

While many organizations have curtailed outrageous CEO salaries in recent years, compensation standards remain off the charts for some U.S. execs.

Click ahead to take a look at some of the most extravagant perks and paychecks currently enjoyed by company leaders. 

Heather Bresch, Mylan N.V.

Annual Salary: $18.9 million
After Mylan purchased EpiPen from Merck KGaA in 2007, the company raised the price of a two-pack by 500 percent. The public is furious, but CEO Heather Bresch's bank account is happy and healthy.

In 2015, Bresch earned a base salary of $1.3 million, $5.2 million in stock awards, $1.3 million in option awards and $3.9 million in non-equity incentive plan compensation. Her pension plan saw a $768,216 increase, and she received $6.4 million in other compensation, including $19,200 for the use of a company-provided automobile, $310,312 in personal use of the company aircraft and $28,792 from a 401k and profit sharing plan matching and profit sharing contribution.
