Notes on Executive Pay
All data reflects 2014 compensation.
Compensation includes salary, value of stock and option awards, and non-equity incentive compensation. When computing size of compensation, the company’s annual net income for 2014 is used.
CEOs who were on their first year on the job were not included. The first year often includes heavy stock and option compensation that will not continue for the CEO’s tenure.
Compensation figures come from the AFL-CIO database on Executive Pay. Company metrics come from Yahoo! Finance and YCharts. All data regarding company performance is on an annualized basis starting when the CEO took over.

execs!
• That’s interesting, because if there’s any industry ripe for
disruption, it’s media.
In fact, we believe that there are three companies that are
set to dominate the new age of television and movies.
Some of them have already been mentioned here. To find
out which ones, continue on to the next slide.
