Hello r2-ga,

Turns out, a million dollars is still a lot of money!

Most company presidents and chief executives don't begin earning
million dollar salaries until company sales are well over a billion a
year.

It would take a great deal of work to tease out some actual numbers
along the lines of:

"X% of CEO's at companies with sales of $50 million or more are
earning a million dollars or more."


However, it is possible to provide a lot of perspective on salaries
with information that -- hopefully -- would answer your question to
your satisfaction.


For instance, for companies with sales in the $50-100 million range,
million dollar salaries are rare.  Take, for instance, these
randomly-selected examples:


NOBH NOBILITY HOMES INC 
Sales -- $50.02M 
Chairman, Pres salary, $ 232.00K



NFT INFORTE CORP 
$50.05M 
Chairman $ 266.00K 


ALDA ALDILA INC 
$50.12M 
Chairman, Pres, Chief Exec. Officer $ 262.00K 


FPFC FIRST PLACE FINL 
$100.50M 
Pres, Chief Exec. Officer, Director $ 358.00K 




Even in billion dollar companies, salaries of CEOs/presidents are
often -- but not always -- over a million:


BIO BIO RAD LABS CL A 
$1.05B 
Chairman $ 696.00K 


SNPS SYNOPSYS INC 
$1.05B 
Chairman, Chief Exec. Officer $ 915.00K 



SXT SENSIENT TECH CORP 
$1.05B 
Chairman, Pres, Chief Exec. Officer $ 2.08M 



AF ASTORIA FINL CORP 
$1.05B 
Chairman, Pres and Chief Exec. Officer $ 1.01M



If this type of information is useful to you, I can present some
randomly chosen  salaries from several different sales ranges ($50-100
million, around $250 million, and so on), as well as point to
resources on the internet where you can find additional information on
company sales and executive salaries.


Would this sort of information meet your needs?


Let me know.

sure.  the more, the merrier

r2-ga,

Thanks for giving me the go-ahead on this.

Here's some additional information that I trust will provide a lot of
perspective on how much CEO's and their peers earn at companies of
different sizes.


CEO salaries and annual sales:




At the $100 million level, the picture doesn't change all that much
from the $50 million level that I presented earlier:


FPFC FIRST PLACE FINL $100.50M 
Pres, Chief Exec. Officer, Director $ 358.00K 

ELRC ELECTRO RENT CP $100.37M 
Chairman, Chief Exec. Officer $ 524.00K 

RCOM REGISTER.COM INC $100.22M 
Pres, Chief Exec. Officer, Director $ 391.00K 

DFC DELTA FINL CORP $100.14M 
Pres, Chief Exec. Officer, Director $ 1.75M 

FFIN FIRST FINL BKSHS I $99.97M 
Pres, Chief Exec. Officer, Director $ 368.00K 


At $250 million, though, it's more of a mixed bag, with salaries
tending to straddle the million dollar mark:


SKE SPINNAKER EXP CO $251.92M 
Chairman, Pres and Chief Exec. Officer $ 748.00K 

HCN HEALTH CARE REIT $251.84M 
Chairman, Chief Exec. Officer $ 2.10M 

TARR TARRAGON CORPORATION $251.26M 
Pres, Chief Operating Officer, Director $ 537.00K 

SF STIFEL FINANCIAL CP $251.19M 
Chairman, Pres, Chief Exec. Officer $ 1.54M 

SMTC SEMTECH CORP $250.57M 
Pres, Chief Exec. Officer, Director $ 627.00K 

PBH PRESTIGE BRAND HLGS $250.50M 
Pres, Chief Exec. Officer, Director $ 2.93M 

INSP INFOSPACE INC $249.35M 
Chairman, Chief Exec. Officer $ 402.00K 



Even at the $500 million sales level, million dollar salaries are
still not a sure thing:




PCTY PARTY CITY CP $503.57M 
Chief Exec. Officer, Director $ 850.00K 

RSTO RESTORATION HARDWR $502.92M 
Interim Chairman, Pres, Chief Exec. Officer $ 576.00K 

TSFG SOUTH FINL GRP INC $499.36M 
Pres, Chief Exec. Officer $ 2.67M 

GY GENCORP INC $499.00M 
Chairman, Pres, Chief Exec. Officer $ 1.52M 

MVL MARVEL ENTERPRISES $498.72M 
Pres and Chief Exec. Officer of Toy Biz and Publishing Division $ 1.29M 

CALM CAL-MAINE FOODS IN $500.75M 
Pres, Chief Operating Officer $ 905.00K 

RMIX US CONCRETE INC $499.75M 
Pres, Chief Exec. Officer $ 536.00K 



And at billion dollar companies, a million dollar salary is common,
but not assured:



BIO BIO RAD LABS CL A $1.05B 
Chairman $ 696.00K 

SNPS SYNOPSYS INC $1.05B 
Chairman, Chief Exec. Officer $ 915.00K 

SXT SENSIENT TECH CORP $1.05B 
Chairman, Pres, Chief Exec. Officer $ 2.08M 

AF ASTORIA FINL CORP $1.05B 
Chairman, Pres and Chief Exec. Officer $ 1.01M 

JNS JANUS CAP GP CMN STK $1.05B 
Chief Operations Officer, Exec. VP $ 1.57M 

WNC WABASH NATL CP $1.04B 
Pres, Chief Exec. Officer, Director $ 1.32M 

AGY ARGOSY GAMING CO $1.04B 
Pres, Chief Exec. Officer, Director $ 1.20M 



Above 10 billion, though, it's pretty much guaranteed:



EIX EDISION INTL $10.35B 
Chairman, Pres, Chief Exec. Officer $ 6.61M 

UNM UNUMPROVIDENT CP $10.30B 
Pres, Chief Exec. Officer, Director $ 2.53M 

CNA C N A FINANCIAL CP $10.29B 
Chief Exec. Officer, Director, Chairman and Chief Exec. Officer of CNA
Insurance Companies $ 3.08M

THC TENET HLTHCRE CP $10.20B 
Pres, Chief Exec. Officer, Director $ 6.12M 

TXT TEXTRON INC $10.17B 
Chairman, Pres, Chief Exec. Officer $ 6.78M 





By the way, you can generate more of this type of information yourself
at the Yahoo Finance stock screener site.

Head to:


http://screen.finance.yahoo.com/newscreener.html


and click on:  Launch HTML Screener  


which takes you to:



http://screen.yahoo.com/stocks.html



Use the pull-down menus for "Sales Revenue -- Min, Max" to set the
level of company sales you're interested in (e.g. $50-100 million),
and then click on the "Find Stocks" button way at the bottom of the
page.


This will return a (probably) long list of companies that meet your
criteria.  They are listed in alphabetical order, but you can re-sort
them by sales volume by clicking on "Sales" at the top of the
appropriate column.

For each company listed, if you click on "Profile", you'll be taken to
a page of detailed financial and business information for the company.
 In most cases, this will include the salaries for the senior
executives.


Hope that does the trick.
