Each company links to its ticker page and to the SEC filing when a source URL is available. The table is the top 100 of 401 qualifying packages.
Methodology
We rank one principal executive per company by reported total compensation for fiscal 2025 — the board's grant-date package in the company's SEC filing, not what the CEO later realized after the stock moved. Large one-time stock or option awards are kept.
This is the rentseek.ing warehouse ranking of fiscal-2025 SCT totals. It is not an Equilar S&P 500 study, and this page does not invent or reprint an Equilar median.
Total pay includes salary, bonus, stock awards, option awards, cash incentive plans, pension-value changes, and other compensation. Equity is valued at grant-date fair value under GAAP. The table column is that grant-date total, not realized pay.
Fiscal 2025means the company's fiscal year ended in calendar 2025. Microsoft may end in June; others end in December, March, or January. The 2026 proxy season is when most of those packages were disclosed.
One CEO per company. When more than one principal executive appears in the same year, we keep the highest-paid qualifying row. Garbage names and non-positive totals are dropped. A plausibility warning on a mega-grant does not remove the row.
Limitations
This is not every U.S. public company. Coverage is the rentseek.ing warehouse cut of fiscal-2025 principal-executive rows with a positive grant-date total. Companies that have not filed fiscal-2025 pay yet are omitted.
Grant-date totals measure board decisions, not cash received. A large option or stock award can rank a CEO first even if the award later expires worthless. Mega-grants and new-CEO packages can dominate a single year.
Tesla's fiscal-2025 pay table is in a 10-K amendment (Part III), accession 0001104659-26-053166, filed April 30, 2026 — not a proxy. This ranking uses warehouse grant-date totals only and omits Tesla because the ingested principal-executive total is $0. It does not invent a mega-grant row.
