Business Week. "The Corporate Elite: The Chief Executives of the Business
Week 1000, the Most Valuable Publicly Held U.S. Companies."
25 November 1991, pp. 174-216.
This compilation includes the top 1000 companies among those that
sell shares on the open market and are therefore required to file
information with the SEC. The CEO of each company is named, along with his
birth date, state or country of birth, undergraduate and graduate
education, number of years at the company, and his annual salary. Sales,
profits, and market value are also given for the company. BW's compilation
is sorted by company name only, whereas NameBase shows only the CEO names
and the page number where each appears.
Business Week offers a summary of this information: All 1000 CEOs are
men, and Princeton, Yale, Harvard and Stanford are the top schools. The
average salary is $868,000, average age is 56, and the average tenure is
22 years with the company, eight of them as the CEO. For those who have
been CEO for a year or less, the average salary drops to $608,000.
Collectively these men control $3.8 trillion in revenues.
