Apple is the most valuable company in the world, but when it comes to paying CEOs, Tim Cook is conspicuously absent from the latest list of the 200 highest-paid CEOs In the USA. In a study conducted by the 'New York Times', the average compensation among senior executives in 2015, actually decreased 15% in 2015 until reaching a $ 19,3 million average if you work in a company that has at least $ 1 billion in annual revenue. Cook has charged much more than that in the past, but this year he doesn't even cut this average.
The study found that for the first time since 2011, no CEO had ever collected more than $ 100 million, with the highest salary you have Dara Khosrowshahi from Expedia, which the $ 94,6 million last year. Leslie Moonves from CBS got second place despite charged almost $ 40 million less.
Despite not appearing strongly on the list this year, Cook has had years of being the top earner. In 2012 was the highest paid executive in the country, winning $ 94 million in its first year. You can't get paid like that every year, but it does manage to make the 'Time' top 100 list.
The study only focused on what CEOs earned, but if you add other executives, such as some of Apple's top brass, Angela Ahrendts had a salary of $ 73 million during his first year at Apple, while other executives like Eddy Cue, Jeff Williams and Phil Schiller have won more than $ 20 million some years.
