CEOs Paid Under $10M

The Under $10M compensation bucket holds 1 CEOs in the SEC proxy-statement dataset. CEO compensation buckets organize executives by total comp range — useful for understanding the distribution of public-company executive pay across the U.S. equity market. Reading compensation buckets carefully: SEC disclosure includes base salary, stock awards (grant-date fair value), option awards (Black-Scholes value), non-equity incentive comp, pension changes, and other compensation. The total-comp number reported here uses the SEC Summary Compensation Table convention, which can differ meaningfully from the actually-realized comp in any given year.

For shareholders evaluating pay packages, the bucket position is informative but not decisive — the absolute total tells you what was paid, not whether it was earned. Every figure here is the SEC-disclosed headline total from the company's DEF 14A proxy statement.
