These Are the 100 Highest-Paid CEOs in Business Today

The New York Times has published a list of the 100 highest-paid CEOS at U.S. public companies in 2012. Oracle ORCL chief executive Larry Ellison is far and away the highest paid CEO on the list, as his $96.2 million in 2012 compensation dwarfs every other member on the list. The top ten features several major increases in pay, but none larger in proportion or net amount than Nike NKE head Mark Parker, whose pay increased from $11 million to $35.2 million since 2011, a rise of 219 percent. Motorola MSI CEO Gregory Brown took the largest pay-cut, earning $19 million, or 65 percent, less than he did the year in 2011.
