The top 10 highest-paid female CEOs in 2014

 

Female CEOs are outpacing their male colleagues in pay, although they remain vastly outnumbered in the top echelons of American companies

Last year, the median pay for women CEOs rose to $15.9 million, a 21 per cent gain from a year earlier, according to a study by executive compensation data firm Equilar and The Associated Press. That compared with median pay for male CEOs of $10.4 million, which was down 0.8 per cent from 2013

Marissa Mayer, the head of Yahoo, was the highest-paid female chief executive in the Equilar/AP pay study. Her compensation was almost double that of the next-highest earner on the list — Carol Meyrowitz of discount retailer TJX Companies

Still, there is a big caveat: There are far fewer female CEOs than males among large US companies. The study of 340 CEOs included 17 women.

No. 1: Marissa Mayer, Yahoo, $42.1 million, up 69 %

No. 2: Carol Meyrowitz, TJX Companies, $23.3 million, up 13 %

No. 3: Margaret Whitman, Hewlett-Packard, $19.6 million, up 11 %

No. 4: Indra Nooyi, PepsiCo, $19.1 million, up 45 %
No. 5: Phebe Novakovic, General Dynamics, $19 million, up 1 %

No. 6: Virginia Rometty, IBM, $17.9 million, up 28 %

No. 7: Marillyn Hewson, Lockheed Martin, $17.9 million, up 13 %

No. 8: Patricia Woertz, Archer Daniels Midland, $16.3 million, up 138 %

No. 9: Irene Rosenfeld, Mondelez International, $15.9 million, up 14 %

No. 10: Ellen Kullman, DuPont, $13.1 million, down 1 %
