Editor's Note:

Dan Marcec is Director of Content at Equilar, Inc. This post is based on an Equilar publication by Mr. Marcec which was originally published in the Equilar Knowledge Center. Related research from the Program on Corporate Governance includes The Growth of Executive Pay by Lucian Bebchuk and Yaniv Grinstein, and Executive Compensation in Controlled Companies by Kobi Kastiel (discussed on the Forum here).

The New York Times recently published its coverage of the annual Equilar 200 study, which analyzes the largest pay packages awarded to CEOs at U.S. public companies. The 2017 Equilar 200 marks the 11th consecutive year of a partnership with The New York Times to analyze data on pay awards for these high-profile executives.

The introductory page of this feature shows the Top 10 CEOs who were awarded the largest pay packages in 2016, as reported in the summary compensation table of the proxy statement filed to the SEC. (Read more about the study’s methodology.)
