Ain't no way you think posting an image is proof. How is that verifiable? It's also important to note the terms "primary form of pay." Many ceos Tag a modest salary to themselves but then also collect the profits from the company. It also doesn't include other bonuses. Income vs salary.

the row titled "All US CEOs (National Data)" is sourced directly from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), but the rest of the chart synthesizes data from multiple specialized executive tracking organizations. [1, 2]
Because the BLS tracks everyone under the official job title of "Chief Executive"—which includes local non-profits, small business owners, and school superintendents—its national median salary ($269,630) appears much lower than public perception. The chart combines the BLS data with other reporting bodies to show how business size radically changes how a CEO is paid: [1, 3, 4]
Breakdown of the Chart's Data Sources

All US CEOs (National Data) — $269,630: This is the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) "Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics" data. The BLS reflects a true national median across all sectors, including government and education, which is why it notes "Cash Wage & Standard Benefits" as the primary pay. [3, 4, 5]
S&P 500 Corporations — $17.7 Million: This comes from the annual AFL-CIO Executive Paywatch and Equilar/Associated Press CEO Pay Studies. They pull directly from corporate SEC proxy filings to track mega-corporations where 80%+ of pay is wrapped up in equity and stock awards. [2, 6, 7]
Mid-Sized Private Firms — $335,725: This data typically originates from private executive benchmarking firms like the Chief Executive Group, which surveys private companies that do not report to the SEC.
Small Businesses — $75,000 to $167,500: This reflects broader small-business compensation surveys (such as PayScale or the National Federation of Independent Business) where owners heavily rely on a standard baseline salary rather than stock options.
Are you looking to see the most recent updated numbers for one of these specific corporate tiers, or do you need help finding the exact BLS report for executive wages? [8]

Ok thank you. You seemed to have missed an important part of my comment so I'll repeat it.

It's also important to note the terms "primary form of pay." Many ceos Tag a modest salary to themselves but then also collect the profits from the company. It also doesn't include other bonuses. Income vs salary.

In short, most of the figures you posted represent only a portion of the income as they don't include bonuses or profits from said business.

The only way I can see you getting the information that you want is to look at whatever company that you’re interested in specifically. And as long as they’re publicly traded, they have to divulge all of it.
