From the New York Times an interactive graphic which allows you to look up the CEO pay in 2007 and compare it to the change in their company’s stock price (by Vu Nguyen, Kurl Russell, Tom Jackson). I took screenshots for 4 tech CEOs: Oracle, Microsoft, Google, and Apple. Size of the orange circle is the CEO’s compensation. Keep in mind this does not include the increase value of stock options they currently own.

The New York Times had a graph on executive income for the article More Than Ever, It Pays to Be the Top Executive that shows the growing income gap between chief executives and their top subordinates. The article goes on to mention this “winner take all” behavior can be found in other industries like sports and entertainment. You can see more examples of this in the following graphs:
