The World's Highest Paid CEO's

we all know ceos make a lot of money they've climbed the company ladder to get the fancy office and dedicated parking spot or in some cases their parents have handed the position over to them that being said being the ceo of the world's biggest company doesn't necessarily mean you're the highest paid jeff bezos is known by many as the world's richest man and yes but his base salary as a ceo is only eighty one thousand eight hundred and forty dollars per year today we're going to take a look at the world's highest paid ceos some of which may surprise you and many of whom you may have never heard of we'll take a look at their climb to the role as ceo and see exactly how much money they earn number 10. chantinew narayan if you work in any creative field chances are you're paying this man's salary every time you open the software on your computer shantanu narayan is the current ceo of adobe in 2019 his total ceo compensation was 39.1 million dollars the annual company revenue is 11.2 billion with a median employee salary of 147 115 which means the total ceo compensation is 266 times higher than that of the average employees pay so how did he come to make so much money he grew up in india and went on to earn a bachelor's degree in electronics and communication engineering he moved to the united states of america to receive his mba from the university of california berkeley and quickly got started on his career and man did he hit it out of the park right away chantinews first big job was at apple he moved on to work for silicon graphics as the director of desktop and collaboration products after working for silicon graphics he climbed the ranks until he accepted a job at adobe in 1998 as senior vice president of worldwide product research his hard work paid off because he was promoted to ceo in late 2007. under his guidance adobe rose to become a fortune 400 company and has had an increase in revenue every year there's not much details about shantanu and his family he's very private about his personal life tries his best to keep out of the spotlight number nine bill mcdermott bill mcdermott is a ceo i honestly hadn't heard of before this list which is rather surprising considering the circles i tend to run into although i must admit i'm not huge in the tech scene and bill mcdermott certainly is as the ceo of software company servicenow bill's annual ceo compensation is 41.7 million dollars compared to the median employees salary of 223.000 which is actually the second highest amount on your list that being said service now makes 3.5 billion dollars annually so it seems like they can definitely afford it bill got his start in business at a young age at 16 he made his first investment when he bought a delicatessen in long island the deli cost him seven thousand dollars and it hugely influenced his life he studied business at dowling college and while he was there he continued to run the delhi using that money to pay off his schooling using your own business to pay for business school that's a pretty cool move if you ask me he went on to go to north weston for management and after that he dug his heels in and looked for bigger and better jobs he landed at xerox for 17 years working in a variety of jobs before he switched over to be the executive vice president of cybel systems in 2002 he was appointed as the ceo of sap america a software company based in germany by 2014 he moved on to become the ceo of sap as a whole becoming the very first american to do so he was extremely successful there increasing the market value from 39 billion to 159 billion dollars though he got his fill of sap after a few years he switched over to servicenow and became ceo and one might even wonder if it was the salary that brought him to the company number eight lachlan murdoch surprisingly all of the ceos on our list are self-made except for lachlan murdoch the current ceo of fox corporation lachlan's total ceo compensation in 2019 was 42.1 million and the annual company revenue of fox is 11.4 billion lachlan was born into ultra wealth his father rupert murdoch founded news corporation because of this lachlan grew up bouncing between living in new york city and attending school in aspen he earned a bachelor's degree from princeton in philosophy though he didn't have to use it at all when he was 18 he was flown to australia to meet with his dad and trained at the daily mirror at 22 he became the general manager of queensland newspapers he kept going in the media business just like his father and became the publisher of the australian australia's first national newspaper in 1995 he was appointed deputy ceo of news limited and his role climbed year after year in 1996 he became executive director in 2000 he became deputy chief operating officer then he went on to become executive vice president and then chairman in his role as vp he was influenced by a friend to invest in one tower unfortunately the investment was doomed to fail and was criticized highly by his workers the company ended up failing and murdoch had agreed to a 40 million dollar settlement in 2005 shortly after this he abruptly stepped down from his role he then founded a private investment company called illyria pty which invested in dozens of companies including nova entertainment in 2014 he returned to the family business becoming the co-chairman of news corporation his role there only lasted a year before he took on an even bigger role the executive chairman of 21st century fox and when fox was bought out by disney in 2019 he was named that ceo of fox corporation where he remains to this day number seven santia nadella microsoft is a company you've probably heard of but you may not have

dollars a year solio was born in india and went to monopole institute of technology where he received a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering he then made the leap to the united states where he went to the university of wisconsin-milwaukee and certainly froze his tail off he started his career at sun microsystems then joined microsoft in 1992. his role in microsoft was important immediately he led major projects mainly the big move to cloud computing the cloud revenue grew from 16.5 billion to 20.3 billion under him alone he served as the senior vice president of research and development for the online services division later he became the president of microsoft server and tools business division in 2014 he made the big leap to ceo the third in the company's history at the time his

well-known company craft heinz the total ceo compensation for him in 2016 was 43.3 million dollars while the median employee's salary was only 42 689 making his compensation 1014 times higher miguel
