The typical compensation package for chief executives who run companies in the S&P 500 jumped nearly 13 per cent last year, easily surpassing the gains for workers at a time when inflation was putting considerable pressure on Americans' budgets. The median pay package for CEOs rose to USD16.3 million, up 12.6%, according to data analyzed for The Associated Press by Equilar.
