Highest Paid CEOs

    CEOs still make a lot more than the other workers at the companies they run – but the gap has narrowed slightly.

    FOX News Radio’s Dave Anthony reports:

    For every dollar an average worker earns, a company’s chief executive makes $205. A gap that narrowed last year from 2013, when the ratio was $257 to one, because average wages actually grew more than CEO�pay. The Associated Press calculations have also ranked the Top Ten Best Paid CEOs.

    David Zaslav is No. 1. He heads up Discovery Communications:

    (Zaslav) “For us… our real focus is high quality content.”

    The $156 million he made last year is almost triple what Les Moonves earned at CBS, he is second. The CEOs�of Viacom, Disney and Yahoo are next. Six of the Top Ten are media executives.

    CEO�compensation includes salary, stock and option awards, perks and bonuses.
