CNN’s Fortune magazine has drawn up the list of top paid CEOs for 2007 and, most suprisingly, Apple guru Steve Jobs is not among the first batch. In fact, he's really down below.
The recent top has Jobs sitting pretty on the 120th position in the top. It's rather odd, given the fact that Jobs was the most highly paid CEO in 2006.
Apple's boss sits on the 11th position in the top 12 technology CEOs charts. Still, it's a long way down.
Oracle's Larry Ellison leads the charts with $192.9 million, followed by Nabeeb Gareel, MEMC Electronic Materials ($79.6 million) and Cisco's John Chambers ($54.8 million). The complete list is down below:
1. Larry Ellison, Oracle - $192.9 million 2. Nabeeb Gareel, MEMC Electronic Materials - $79.6 million 3. John Chambers, Cisco - $54.8 million 4. Mark Hurd, HP - $27.6 million 5. Jen-Hsun Huang, NVIDIA - $24.6 million 6. Samual Palmisano, IBM - $24.3 million 7. Wendell Weeks, Corning - $22.6 million 8. Joseph Tucci, EMC - $20 million 9. William Sullivan, Agilent - $17.4 million 10. Paul Otellini, Intel - $16.3 million 11. Steve Jobs, Apple - $14.6 million 12. Jonathan Schwartz, Sun - $13.5 million
And speaking of the top 12 technology CEOs charts, it's strange to see that nobody from Microsoft, AMD or nVidia made the list. Is business boing that bad nowadays?
