CEO Lifestyles - More Facts About the Exorbitant Lifestyles of Corporate CEOs

Employees, consumers and shareholders alike are consistently outraged about the luxurious lifestyles of CEOs. While the working class stagnates and declines further into poverty, these corporate elite continue to see significant increases in earnings, perks and incentives. Instead of extra corporate profits being directed towards increased employee wages; increased dividend payments and increased consumer satisfaction, they are directed straight into the pockets of the CEOs.

Here are some more facts about today's CEOs that continue to heat the blood of the working classes:

CEOS are paid about 300 times what the average worker is. On average, a given worker would have to work the equivalent of 10 careers (300 years) to equal the pay that a CEO makes in one year.

The median pay rate for American CEOs is just under $10 million per year. That does not factor in any number of additional bonuses, stock options and numerous other compensatory variables.
