Starting in 2017, public companies will be required to share the ratio of CEO to worker salaries. It will provide more transparency into pay between you and your CEO. Until then, here is what the CEOs earn in total compensation vs. median total compensation for employees. Across all S&P 500 companies, the average CEO pay was $13.8 million per year, the average median worker pay was about $77,800, and the average ratio of CEO pay to median worker pay was 204. In other words, on average CEO earn 204 times more than what his or her employees earn.

Could buy an awful lot of curry for that salary, if fact could have more children.
