What a damn lie. The median CEO pay in the USA is $189,520, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics [1].
$20 million is median pay for CEOs of S&P 500 companies, the biggest companies in the country…I wonder why people let themselves get suckered by clickbait.

- johnnyanmac 3y agoPoint taken, but I think your link takes the "top executive" too much in the other direction. Mentioning that the median top executive in the government sector (which would be what, the president? Senate?) being $120k in 2022 makes me think that that title isn't quite what people think of, similar to being a "vice president" of a bank. to come at a comprimise instead of calling everyone liars over statistics with differing definitions: Salary.com lists a median of $830k. Not quite "retire in 2 years" money, but well past middle class and more than enough to establish your own safety net. My main point doesn't change here. https://www.salary.com/research/salary/benchmark/chief-executive-officer-salary https://www.salary.com/research/salary/benchmark/chief-execu...
