1 | In the U.S. in 2018, the average CEO of the S&P 500 Index firms was paid 361 times the wages earned by the average worker [3]. Interestingly, CEOs are often rewarded economically, even when the are objectively ineffective, with pay, bonuses, and “golden parachutes” worth on average $48 million (e.g., the roughly 40% who were the top 25 highest paid in 20 years whose companies failed, went bankrupt, paid millions of dollars in fines for fraud, or received taxpayer bailouts [4]). It should be pointed out that there is no evidence that even the 60% of top paid executives, who were not objective failures, were able to provide material value to their companies or society from the work they performed (e.g., analysis and decision making from themselves, not their subordinates) equivalent to the value of their remuneration. |
