A new study released by the Hay Group and the Wall Street Journal has Tim Cook of Apple as the highest-paid CEO of 2011. Cook’s package was valued at $378 million, most of it in stock grants issued after he replaced Steve Jobs in August.
Second on the list was Oracle’s Larry Ellison, who took home $76 million, again mostly in the form of stocks. CBS’ Leslie Moonves took in $69.3 million, of which $30 million was actually part of a bonus. Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha took in $46.6 million, mainly in the form of stock options.
