Good article with too much to copy and paste. Three of the seven CEOs listed head pharmaceutical companies.
The typical CEO at an S&P 500 company makes 180 times more than an average employee does. Here are 7 who earn 1,200 to 2,500 times more.

What is a CEO worth?
After a brief lull in the slow economy, skyrocketing CEO pay is back, widening the wealth gap between the rich and everyone else. That has many economists worried -- and a lot of "occupiers" hitting the streets.
But which CEOs benefit from the biggest pay gaps, earning the most compared with their own workers?
To answer that, I've rounded up companies with the largest pay gaps based on the latest research revealing the biggest CEO pay packages and worker pay levels. You'll see the top seven in the following slides (published Jan. 10, 2012).
The CEOs who made my final cut pull down vast amounts of money -- from $60 million to $145 million in a single year -- so you may find the size of the pay gaps astonishing.

(1 post)This article made me sick; but not for the reasons you may think. Every one of these ceo's is jewish. Then MSN won't let you comment unless you sign into your facebook account, which is run by another greedy jew. I am not a Neo-nazi or a right wing nut. As a matter of fact, my best friend is a good jew. I've been to jewish weddings and jewish funerals but there is a brand of jew that is rapidly taking over our country. Have you noticed how most of the major media internet sites do not let you comment unless you have a social media account. That is just another way to own and manipulate your thoughts. These jews are so greedy and power hungry. I don't hate these people; just the mindless sheep that call themselves Americans. Our country is rapidly entering it's Dark Ages and nothing is going to stop it. Sooner or later, everything comes full circle and their power will diminish when the vast majority of Americans are no longer able to provide the financial food that these ravenous monsters crave.
Factoid: The recent runup in fuel prices has everything to do with the Federal Reserve and absolutely nothing to do with the phony story about Iran shutting down the "Strait of Hormuz". The Federal Reserve is run by the descendants of the Rothchilds. Mayer Amschel Rothschild quote: "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws." They control your money and are debasing it heavily as we speak. Get rid of it by any means necessary. They have their wealth in hard assets and so should you!
