Top 13 highest paid female CEOs and how they ranked overall in 2014

The highest-paid female chief executive in 2014 was Marissa Mayer, who made $42.1 million for leading Yahoo!. The next highest paid female CEO, United Therapeutics’ Dr. Martine Rothblatt, took home a staggering $1.6 million.

She was followed by TJX’s Carol Meyrowitz  with $3.3 million, Hewlett-Packard’s Margaret C. Whitman with $19.6 million and PepsiCo’s Indra K. Nooyi with 19.1 million.

It was never going to be 50-50 (not just yet, anyway), female CEOs still take home far less than their male counterparts.

In fact, of the 200 highest-paid chief executives on The New York Times’ list, only 13 were women. Additionally, the Times reports, “their average pay, $20 million, is 11.5% less than $22.6 million overall average.”

Yes, it is thrilling to see these women head up some of the country’s largest corporations. But, isn’t it troubling to see so few females represented?
