There were more CEOs making over $100 million than any time since 2021.
Almost a dozen CEOs were over $200 million.
It isn't just Elon Musk, but he and Tesla may be setting the tone.
The last time we saw a surge in nine-figure pay packages, it seemed like it was a reaction to his first multi-billion dollar pay deal.
But we're also seeing the number of CEOs at the low end, under $10 million, continue to decline.
And pay packages under $100 million but over $50 million, those are getting more common, too.
The best-performing companies aren't always the ones paying their CEOs the most, and the highest-paid CEOs aren't necessarily the ones running the best-performing companies.
That said, I've been covering CEO pay for a long time, and so far, pay just keeps rising.
There's still an open question whether rising pay helps shareholders.
Research is beginning to suggest that these moonshot paydays, the $100 million ones and bigger, don't generally help shareholders or pay off for executives.
The people who had been exposed to more pollution over the years had weaker semantic memory.
So really, that long-term pollution looked like it was aging the brain's memory ahead of schedule.
When that's effective, we can think about how that's the kind of thing that might chip away at a person's independence or ability to have the quality of life that we would hope to have.
