Big CEO's

To day I came across the list of 2007's top 10 highest paid CEO's as calculated by Associated Press for Standard & Poor's 500 companies. They are:


1. Larry Ellison, Oracle Corp., $84.6

2. John Thain, Merrill Lynch & Co., $83.1

3. Leslie Moonves, CBS Corp., $67.6

4. Richard Adkerson, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., $65.3

5. Bob Simpson, XTO Energy Inc., $56.6

6. Lloyd Blankfein, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., $54.0

7. Kenneth Chenault, American Express Co., $51.7

8. Eugene Isenberg, Nabors Industries Ltd., $44.6

9. John Mack, Morgan Stanley, $41.7

10. Glenn Murphy, Gap Inc., $39.1


What you've got to be kidding me there is only one CEO on the list from a "Big Oil" related company and he is only #5! So if all that money Big Oil is making is not going to there CEO's then just where is it going?
