An analysis of CEO compensation at S&P 500 companies reveals a stark contrast in earnings between executives and median employees. The report highlights that some CEOs, especially in major firms like Starbucks and McDonald's, can amass an entire year's worth of employee wages in mere hours. The data, compiled from SEC filings for the upcoming fiscal year, underscores striking income disparities within these companies, illustrating how concentrated wealth is among top executives compared to their workforce.
For some chief executives, it would take about a day to make what a typical employee at their company makes in a year.
We looked at the compensation of dozens of CEOs working for some of the biggest S&P 500 companies to figure out how long it would take them.
The CEOs of Starbucks, McDonald's, and several other retail companies ranked high on the list.
Some CEOs can earn their employees' annual wages in just a few hours, reflecting significant income disparities.
