The Wall Street Journal has an update for us. A month ago they reported that average pay for CEOs of large companies had increased to $14.2 million last year. But now we have final figures:

The median pay package for chief executives of the biggest U.S. companies reached $14.7 million in 2021, setting a sixth-straight annual record as strong profits and robust markets boosted performance measures.

That’s a mind-boggling increase of 110% over the past decade measured in nominal terms.

Adjusted for the ravages of inflation, CEO pay has gone up only 78% in real terms.
