Broadcom's Tan, CBS's Moonves Among Highest-Paid CEOs

by Associated Press

   Here are the highest-paid CEOs for 2017, as calculated by The
   Associated Press and Equilar, an executive data firm.

   The AP's compensation study covered 339 executives at S&P 500 companies
   who have served at least two full consecutive fiscal years at their
   respective companies, which filed proxy statements between January 1
   and April 30.

   Compensation often includes stock and option grants that the CEO may
   not receive for years unless certain performance measures are met. For
   some companies, big raises occur when CEOs get a stock grant in one
   year as part of a multi-year grant.
