Big Bucks, But Number Is Still Small: America’s 10 Highest Paid Women CEOs For 2016

The median pay for a woman CEO was $13.1 million in 2016, up 9% from the year prior, according to analysis from executive data firm Equilar and the Associated Press. By comparison, male CEOs took home median compensation of $11.4 million, also up 9 percent.

No doubt, women CEOs making big bucks, but number is still small: Of the 346 CEOs included in the analysis, only 21 — or 6% — were women. A slight increase from about 5% in 2015 and 2014.

IBM’s Virginia Rometty unseated Yahoo’s Marissa Mayer as the highest-paid woman CEO in 2016.

Ms. Rometty earned $32.3 million last year, whereas Ms. Mayer, the 2nd-highest earning woman CEO, earned $27.4 million in 2016.

With $25.2 million in 2016, Indra Nooyi came in 3rd on the list, followed by GM’s Mary Barra, who earned $22.4 million.
