CEO compensation

CEO compensation refers to the total pay and benefits a company's chief executive receives for leading the organization. It typically includes a base salary, performance-based bonuses, stock options, and other incentives. These incentives align the CEO’s interests with those of shareholders, motivating long-term company growth. Compensation varies based on company size, performance, and industry standards. While it can be substantial, the goal is to reward effective leadership and strategic decision-making that enhances company value. Transparency and fairness in CEO pay are important considerations in corporate governance and public trust.
