Nooyi 7th highest paid CEO, earns 650 times a Pepsico employee

The 100 highest paid CEOs of the biggest companies by revenue earned more than $1.6 billion (Rs 10,430 crore) as salary last year, with India-born Pepsico CEO Indra Nooyi becoming the second highest paid woman CEO and the seventh highest paid CEO globally, taking home more than $25.89 million (Rs 168.92 crore). While her pay increased just three per cent, over what she earned in 2016, her ranking jumped three places, from 10^th highest paid CEO in 2016.
Nooyi's pay was 650 times the average earnings of a Pepsico employee.

Another Indian-origin CEO in the top 20 highest paid CEOs in 2017 is Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft, who romped home with more than $20.01 million (Rs 130.56 crore), placing him at 17^th rank.
Nadella, who was ranked 26^th in 2016, earning $17.69 million (Rs 115.40 crore), received an increment of 13 per cent.

Co-founder of SanDisk and a BITS Pilani alumnus, Sanjay Mehrotra is the third CEO of Indian origin in the 100 highest paid CEOs, in his capacity as President & CEO of Micron Technology which earned him more than $15.73 million ( Rs 100.29 crore) last year, making him a new entry into the club of 100, at number 54.

Thanks to his hostile $121 billion (Rs 789,261 crore) bid on Qualcomm, Broadcom rewarded its CEO Hock E Tan with $98.3 million (Rs 641.10 crore) worth of stock options, taking his total compensation to more than $103.21 million (Rs 673.08 crore), making him the highest paid CEO last year.
Of course there's a catch - those stock options will vest only in 2020 and 2021, but that's just a minor technicality for the Malaysian origin, MIT and Harvard educated top dog.

The richest CEO in the top 100 club, Berkshire Hathaway founder and Chairman Warren Buffett took home just $100,000 last year (Rs 65.21 lakh) - a substantial drop from his salary of $487,881 (Rs 3.18 crore) in 2016. His ranking though, saw a slight improvement - from 101^st in 2016 to 100^th in 2017.
Buffett's salary was just twice what the average Berkshire Hathaway employee earned in 2017.
