"100 highest paid CEOs" means this is a flawed study.
It's not the same CEOs year to year, it's just the highest paid, and since CEO pay is mostly equity, it's probably the CEOs of the top performing companies last year.
So if CEO #1 was on the list last year, and the company did worse this year, they likely aren't on the list, saw a compensation drop, but hey, that doesn't make headlines to say "Top paid CEOs from 2022 saw a compensation drop of 10% this year".
