CEO compensation: Highest paid chief executive officers in the United States in 2022

Highest-paid CEOs: Being a chief executive (CEO) is no easy feat, especially when leading a corporation. The highest-paid CEOs are tasked with a great responsibility to steer their companies toward success, and it is a challenging role that requires a lot of skill and expertise.

As the CEO, one must oversee daily operations while planning for the company’s long-term future. It can be challenging and demanding, requiring much effort and dedication. The highest-paid chief executive in 2022 was Sundar Pichai of Alphabet (GOOG). Pichai was paid $225 million. Barry McCarthy, CEO of Peloton Interactive, Inc. (PTON), was way behind Pichai but still with an enormous paycheck of $168 million last year. In third place, George Kurtz, CEO of CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (CRWD), banked $147.7 million, while the highest-placed female CEO, Safra Catz of Oracle Corporation (ORCL), made $147.6 million.

Apple CEO Tim Cook, who heads the world’s most valuable and cash-rich company, pulled in $99 million in 2022, while Peter Zaffino, CEO of American International Group (AIG), earned $75 million.

“I understand that some may be concerned about the substantial compensation that chief executives receive yearly. However, it’s important to acknowledge the significant responsibility they bear and the valuable contributions they make to their organizations. In many cases, this compensation accurately reflects their dedication and hard work,” said Prof. Dr. Amarendra Bhushan Dhiraj, macro-economist, investment strategy analyst, and CEO at the CEOWORLD magazine.

36 of the 308 compensation packages we examined were paid less than $12 million, and 6 topped $100 million. Who are the highest-paid CEOs in America?
