Is there the same outrage over the 8 most overpaid athletes? 8 most overpaid politicians? 8 most overpaid actors? 8 most overpaid media personalities? 8 most overpaid lawyers? I could go on...
If you want to make more money, rather than getting angry that someone else is making money and trying to figure out how to get some of it away from them, it makes more sense to attempt to learn from them so that you can make more yourself.
When a CEO makes more off of a worker than the worker does, something is wrong. the companies aren't even keeping their money, the boards are just handing the keys to the CEO's so the CEO can sell the car and profit!!
8. Kevin Sharer - Amgen Inc - $21.14M
7. William Weldon - Johnson & Johnson - $28.72M
6. Robert Stevens - Lockheed Martin - $21.90M
5. William Swanson - Raytheon Co. - $18.79M
4. Miles White - Abbott Laboratories - $25.56M
3. Laurence Fink - BlackRock Inc - $23.84M
2. Tom Ward - SandRidge Energy - $21.76M
1. John Chambers - Cisco Systems - $18.87M
Disagree on their assessment of Larry Fink. His firm outperformed themselves and continued growth. Market irrationality and fears shouldn't affect how he is measured directly.
CEOs of public companies are given part of their compensation in the form of stock and options. If the stock price goes down, he's already been penalized, since his stock and options are now worth less.

CEO =/= executive pay. CEO is only ONE executive, and a company can have dozens of executives. And that source also includes "highly paid employees".

You either have reading comprehension issues or you don't know what CEO means. You should seek to educate yourself before posting again.

CEO's rake in 1/3rd of ALL the pay in America. That type of theft of the working man's wealth has to stop pronto. http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2009/07/21/51995/executive-pay-wsj/
