Companies may not be hiring much, but they’re doing well enough to amply reward their CEOs.
Four chief execs ofGeorgia-based companieswere on a top pay list compiled by the New York Times.
The Times, with the help of the Equilar research firm, posted the total compensation for 200 CEOs whose 2010 salaries were released in proxies by April 1. The companies had to have at least $7 billion in annual revenue.
The list was led by Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman, who enjoyed total compensation of $84.5 million — up 149 percent from 2009.
