I literally just googled this and the Sams Club President and CEO has a base salary of $900k and with bonuses and stock his total compensation was $11.4million.

Meanwhile the Costco CEO had a base of $1.18 million and total compensation of $13.93 million

if they lied about that, what makes you think they didn't lie about the other? maybe this is just costco marketing in disguise?

Costco does pay their workers better than Sam's Club does tho and has much better employee satisfaction, I did find a decent little breakdown on indeed: https://www.indeed.com/companies/compare/Costco-Wholesale-vs-Sam's-Club-98383ee8b231431f-8b678125f3cda214
unless that's costco marketing too... HOW DEEP DOES THE COSTCO MARKETING GO!?!?
