High salaries, poor performance: These were the most overpaid CEOs last year

Most CEOs of S&P 500 companies got a raise of at least 9%, according to a new ‘Wall Street Journal’ report. And some CEOs made millions despite their bad performance.

When it comes to CEO salaries, no one topped Broadcom’s Hock Tan last year. A new study by the Wall Street Journal ranks Tan (and his $161.74 million pay package) as the highest among S&P 500 companies last year.
