CEO薪酬涨幅创三年来新高

企业高管数据公司Equilar的研究显示，去年美国部分最大企业的首席执行官平均薪资达到1660万美元，高于2015年的1550万美元。

此项研究覆盖了今年4月1日前提交代表权申明书的收入100强企业，结果显示CEO薪酬增长中值为6%，是2013年以来的最高水平。

年薪最高的是特许通讯公司CEO托马斯•拉特利奇，数额为9800万美元。排名第二的是耐克公司CEO马克•帕克，他的年薪为4760万美元。甲骨文公司联合CEO马克•赫德和萨弗拉•卡茨分列第三和第五名，两人的收入分别为4110万和4090万美元。排名第四的是年薪4010万美元（译者注：这个数字可能是4100万美元）的迪士尼CEO罗伯特•艾格。

今年，收入排在前列的CEO在总薪酬中的占比较高。2015年，年薪排名前10的CEO中有四人的薪酬总额超过3000万美元。2016年这个数字翻了一番，达到8人。

人们也许认为CEO的薪酬和公司业绩挂钩，实际上未必一定如此。这100家公司的平均股东回报率是11%，而10位年薪最高的CEO中，有6人低于这个水平。同时，薪酬最低的10位CEO中，反而有6人高于这个指标。迪士尼和甲骨文的股东回报率实际上分别为负8%和负6%；耐克的股东回报率为10%，略低于平均值，而且零售前景也不明朗。

伯克希尔-哈撒韦公司以2236亿美元的收入规模在这100家企业中位居榜首，股东回报率也高达23%，掌门人沃伦•巴菲特却拿着最低的年薪——48.8万美元。实际上，巴菲特是唯一一位薪酬低于300万美元的CEO。不过大家应该能想到，他当然有放弃高薪的底气。

收入仅次于伯克希尔•哈撒韦的是苹果公司。苹果CEO蒂姆•库克的年薪为870万美元，比2015年下降了15%，排在第89位。

下个月，只要所有上市公司都在最终期限前提交了代表权申明书，Equilar就会公布收入200强的完整CEO薪酬情况。（财富中文网）

Average compensation for CEOs at some of the largest companies in the U.S. clocked in at $16.6 million last year, up from $15.5 million in 2015, according to a study by executive data firm Equilar.

The study, which looked at figures from the 100 largest corporations by revenue that filed proxy statements covering 2016 before April 1, found the median pay increase for CEOs was 6%, the largest bump since 2013.

Topping the list was Thomas Rutledge, who heads Charter Communications. He received $98 million. In second-place was Nike’s Mark Parker, who brought in $47.6 million. Mark Hurd and Safra Catz, who are co-CEOs of Oracle, ranked third and fifth, pulling in $41.1 and $40.9 million, respectively. In fourth place was Disney head Robert Iger, who made $40.1 million.

Executives at the top took a bigger share of the pie this year. In 2015, four of the 10 highest-paid CEOs made more than $30 million in total compensation. Last year, that number doubled to eight.

While one might expect CEO compensation to be tied to performance, that wasn't always the case. The average total shareholder return for all 100 companies was 11%. Six of the top 10 best-paid CEOs fell below that benchmark, while six of the 10 least-paid CEOs in the study beat it. Disney and Oracle actually had negative shareholder returns of 8% and 6%, respectively, while Nike’s came in just below the average at 10% amid an uncertain retail outlook.

Warren Buffett, head of Berkshire Hathaway, was the lowest paid executive, receiving $488,000 despite the fact that his company brought in the most revenue at $223.6 billion, with a healthy shareholder return of 23%. In fact, Buffett was the only CEO to be paid less than $3 million, though it should be noted he can surely afford to forego a high salary.

Sitting just below Berkshire Hathaway in terms of revenue was Apple, whose CEO Tim Cook saw his pay fall 15% from last year to $8.7 million, placing him 89th on the list.

Next month, Equilar will publish a complete list of CEO compensation at the 200 largest businesses by revenue once all public companies have met the deadline for filing their proxy statements.
