Thanks, fnazeeri, this study actually is helpful and does provide some useful data, I think it will be very helpful to have a professionally done compensation study if necessary to show the tax man.

There are two extreme data points you're getting here: (1) The absolute lowest number people think you could get away with. (2) The ridiculous numbers awarded to vanity CEOs of VC-funded companies. You probably want to be somewhere in the middle. There's no rule about what a "CEO" makes; you're compensated based on the value you create in the company. If you do the same work as a lead developer, pay yourself like a bare-bones startup would pay a lead developer. Web companies pay CEOs 200k because they're suckers.
