Critics have charged that compensation to top management in the United States is too high and should be cut back. For example, focusing on large corporations, Frank Bisignano, CEO of First Data, was one of the best-compensated CEOs in the United States in 2018, earning about $102 million. Are such amounts excessive? In answering, it might be helpful to recognize that superstar athletes such as LeBron James, top people in entertainment such as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Kylie Jenner, and many others at the peak of their respective fields can earn at least as much, if not a great deal more.
