Highest paid CEOs in the nation

The biggest pay packages seem to keep getting bigger, according to a preliminary analysis of executive compensation at major US public companies. Pay for the top 100 highest paid chief executives at major companies rose 20 percent to more than $2 billion from 2010 to 2011, largely because of a few outsized packages, according to Equilar Inc., a research firm that compiled the data for The New York Times. The data is based on filings by about 300 companies with at least $5 billion in sales that publicly reported their annual compensation numbers by March 31.
