Top Paid Ceos in the World
So who’s the highest-paid CEO of all time? That crown probably goes to Elon Musk, but he’s said he’ll keep working until humans colonize Mars. At his current pay rate, he’ll have enough cash to buy the Red Planet by Tuesday. For the rest of us? We can comfort ourselves knowing that these billionaires still need to plug their phone chargers into the same wall outlets as we do—they just pay someone to do it for them. Next time you see a headline about a CEO’s bonus, remember: you helped build that spaceship, one cup of coffee at a time. And hey, if you can’t beat ’em, at least you can laugh at their tax returns.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go check my Tesla stock. I mean, I don’t own any—but I’m emotionally invested in Elon’s next tweet.
