Median CEO pay at major corporations jumped 13% last year.

Much of the increase was due to stock performance.

Just so happens that in 2023 corporations spent ~$800 BILLION on stock buybacks, which artificially pump up share prices.

Translation: CEOs are goosing their own pay.

They're also raising prices as much as they think they can get away with.

@rbreich All option grants should be indexed to the peer group or the market. Up to 70% of option gains are due to overall market performance and we should not pay CEOs for being on the same stock exchange as Nvidia.
