The issue of the size of executive compensation packages is explored in the text. The highest paid CEO in 2014 was David Zaslav, the CEO of Discovery Communications, whose total executive compensation package was $156.1 million, the vast majority of which was from stock awards. Critics claim that CEOs receive excessive executive compensation packages when compared with the average worker. Consider that NBA basketball star LeBron James took in $64.8 million in 2014, the majority of which was from endorsements, while radio and TV entertainer Howard Stern earned $95 million? Are the top paid corporate executives overpaid when compared to top entertainers? Why or why not?
