Here are some of the staggering incomes:
- Wells Fargo CEO; 21.3 Million
- J.P. Morgan CEO; 15.5 Million
- Bank of NY Mellon CEO; 14 Million
- Bank of America CEO; 4.2 Million
- Capital One CEO; 6.1 Million
- American Express CEO; 17.4 Million
- CNA Financial CEO; 10.4 Million
- Mastercard CEO; 10.3 Million
- Visa CEO; 13.7 Million

The same holds true for Walmart, Yahoo, Johnson & Johnson, Phillip Morris, AT&T, CVS, HP, Exxon, Abbott Labs, Travelers, Lincare, Prudential, Brystol-Myers, Aetna, Hess, McDonalds, American Express, Coca-Cola, Heinz and Dow Chemical.
