According to an Equilar ranking for the American agency Associated Press, Lisa Su is now the highest paid CEO of the S&P 500. She therefore becomes the first woman to top this ranking after having seen her remuneration multiplied by four in one year. A leap forward achieved thanks to the good performance of AMD, the company it manages. In total, Lisa Su earned no less than $ 58.5 million in 2019.
Lisa Su joined AMD, a company specializing in semiconductors, microprocessors and graphics cards, in 2014. Since then, she has succeeded in making the company even more competitive, which has enabled her to increase his remuneration. She thus receives $ 1 million in base salary, plus a performance bonus of $ 1.2 million, not to mention $ 3 million in stock options. It also received $ 53 million in share grants.
Women run only 5% of S&P 500 companies
Behind her, David Zaslav, the CEO of Discovery Inc, comes in second place with a salary of $ 45.8 million, much less than Lisa Su. Finally, Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger completes the podium with $ 45.5 million. Other women in the rankings include, after Lisa Su, Marillyn Hewson of Lockheed Martin. His salary is estimated at $ 24.4 million. Next is Mary Barra of General Motors Co., with a salary of $ 21.3 million.
Our colleagues from BFMTV recall that women manage only 5% of the companies in the S&P 500. A figure that is not progressing significantly. And wage increases are half that for women in the same job.
