The 10 Highest Paid CEOs

#8
Harvey Golub
Chairman and CEO (retired), American Express Co.

Direct deposit: $4,200,000
Perks: $23,839,398 option value + $2,630,000 long-term incentive plan payouts
Total Compensation: $32,624,896


Life after AmEx: After retiring from AmEx this year at age 61, Golub joined the boards of now bankrupt Warnaco and of the CueCat-like tech company AirClic, in January. He also took a senior adviser post at investment bank Lazard, according to American Banker.
Not one to hang around: Golub told Business Week: "The dynamic of having the old CEO hang around in order to be helpful to the new CEO is almost always nonsense.... The old CEO ought to go away, and if the new CEO has a question, he can call him or have lunch with him."
Demand exceeds supply: Golub told the Wall Street Journal that over the year 2000, he turned down job offers from Internet firms at a rate of two or three per week.
