Technology firm CEOs moved up in rank as revenue size increased, ultimately leading in CEO median compensation for companies with >$100 million in revenue. Tech CEOs for the largest mid-market firms made nearly eight times as much as tech CEOs in the smallest firms.
Consumer goods manufacturers with <$10 million in revenue lagged behind their larger industrial goods manufacturing counterparts. But as company revenue increased, so did the compensation packages at consumer goods manufacturers. For all but companies of $10 million or less, CEOs from consumer goods manufacturers made more than those of industrial good manufacturers, with the gap between the two tapping out at 6.3%.
CEOs of private-equity-owned companies had the highest compensation packages, followed by employee-owned and partnership-modeled companies. Private-equity owned firms paid their CEOs double that of CEOs for companies that were sole proprietorships on average.
