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 pay scale in the graph is in US$ millions therefore the top hedge fund manager, John Paulson, had an income in 2007 of $3.7 billion ($3,700,000,000).
Data from Institutional Investor’s Alpha Magazine via Telegraph.co.uk.

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.

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.

Forbes’ ranking of CEO pay includes the 12 women running a Forbes 500 company. Unlike the highest paid female executives graph I posted earlier this one is not necessarily the highest paid female CEOs just women who are CEOs of companies in the Forbes 500.
