Time - The combined compensation of 391 company leaders in the Wall Street Journal’s annual CEO pay ranking amounted to $9.9 billion in 2025, as the newspaper announced that “the $100-million-plus CEO is back with a bang.”
The report, which monitors pay of the heads of S&P 500 companies, found that more U.S. CEOs crossed that pay threshold than in any year since 2021.
The Journal found that companies are anticipating a shift in how their leaders are compensated, mirroring Elon Musk’s “moonshot” pay packages that reward company performance with huge stock or option awards.
The combined pay of those 391 CEOs was dwarfed by Musk’s total compensation as Tesla's CEO, which was $158 billion.
