"Over the next decade, Elon Musk could become the world’s first trillionaire.
The Tesla board recently proposed a US$1 trillion (A$1.5 trillion) compensation
plan, if Musk can meet a series of ambitious growth targets.
Australia’s corporate pay packets aren’t quite on that scale. Yet even here, on
Friday it was reported departing Virgin chief executive Jayne Hrdlicka will
collect nearly $50 million in shares and other cash benefits on her way out the
door.
Research from the United States suggests people think the average CEO earns ten
times more than the average worker – and would prefer it was closer to only
five times more.
In fact, the real gap in the US over the past decade has been estimated to mean
CEOs earn a staggering 265 to 300 times more than average US workers.
Australians think CEOs earn seven times more than the average worker and would
prefer if it was only three times more.
But the real gap here is also much higher. A long-running study found CEOs of
the top 100 Australian companies earned 55 times more last financial year than
average workers."
