What is the average salary of a CEO?

Answer by  patti (29325)

There is no average because of so many variables. The CEO of a Fortune 10 company will have a salary of several million dollars, plus benefits, stock options, bonus, etc. It isn't up to the public to decide if they "work hard enough. " The Board of Directors determines compensation based on the value the individual brings to the organization.

CEO's typically make in excess of $90K per year and they are the face of the company and are responsible for the life of the company.

I would guess that the average salary of a CEO would be approximately 250,000 dollars a year. I think some of them probably deserve it and some of them don't.

CEO's salaries range from 20 to 100 times the average worker paid at a company. Publicly traded CEO's make millions, with salary and stock. No they are not worth it.
