The CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio runs 100x. Lower ratios typically reflect companies with higher-paid workforces (financial services, technology, professional services) where the median worker pay denominator is itself substantial. Performance over the same three-year window has been strong: CBOE Global Markets delivered a 3-year total shareholder return of 123.2% on top of 87.4% revenue growth. Pay packages of this size are easier to defend when the underlying performance is delivering.
Shareholders supported the compensation package at 86% on the most recent say-on-pay vote. Solid support without overwhelming endorsement is the typical pattern for established public companies with conventional compensation programs. CBOE Global Markets operates in Exchanges with 2,100 employees and $2.0B in annual revenue, and currently carries a market capitalization of $22.0B. Pay comparisons across companies require controlling for these structural factors — a $20M package at a $10B-revenue tech company reads differently than the same package at a $1B-revenue industrial.
