Catherine — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 01:56:36 +0000

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.

In honor of the the Super Bowl, I am posting Sports Illustrated’s Fortunate 50 top-earning American athletes (earnings include salary, winnings, bonuses, and endorsements). However, only one of the players in today’s game made the list, Tom Brady of the New England Patriots, Rank: 47.

I found a nice table of this data on SportsColumn.com. Salaries are based on current or most recently completed seasons (exception: 2007 for NFL). For winnings-based sports (auto racing, golf, tennis), 2006 calendar year amounts used.

Highest Paid Hip-Hop Artists 2006

Catherine — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 00:52:43 +0000

Forbes has introduced a new ranking this year for Hip-Hop Cash Kings. I assume this means their Highest Paid Celebrities list is very popular since they are branching out into other subgenera. So what make someone a Hip-Hop Cash King? Sources of income include: running their own record labels; producing tracks and beats for other artists; endorsement deals; selling apparel, ringtones, video games and a line of fiction.

I added the graph to my Income and Wealth Swivel group.

Highest Paid Female Executives in 2005

Catherine — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 23:45:19 +0000

Fortune’s ranking of America’s leading businesswomen includes the top 10 ranked by pay. Unlike the men where 8 out of 10 of the highest-paid executives are CEOs, only 5 of the top 10 women are chief executives. Also the number 1 ranked woman (at 26.1 million) makes less than the 10th ranked man (48 million).

I added the graph to my Income and Wealth Swivel group.

Highest Paid Dead Celebrities

Catherine — Sun, 20 May 2007 23:41:29 +0000

I added 2 new graphs to my Swivel group Income and Wealth comparing the top 13 highest paid Dead Celebrities in 2006 vs the top 13 highest paid Dead Celebrities in 2001. Eight of the names on the list in 2001 will still be there in 2006, in part, due to their estates making money from their work and the rights to use their name and likenesses on merchandise and marketing campaigns.
