WSJ: EpiPen Maker Mylan Has 2nd Highest Executive Pay in Industry
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, a new analysis by The Wall Street Journal shows the
pharmaceutical giant Mylan, which has come under fire for hiking the
cost of the life-saving allergy shot Epi Pen by 400 percent in less than
a decade, has the second highest executive pay in the entire U.S.
pharmaceutical industry. In the last five years, Mylan has paid its top
five executives nearly $300 million. That's second only to the
pharmaceutical company Regeneron, which over five years paid its top
five executives more than $500 million.
