Fancy $45 000 an hour!

This is not a scam. This is what Oracle chief executive officer Lawrence Ellison was paid last year. He actually earned an average of $45 790 an hour and netted just over $96 million for the year.

Oracle is a technology company which engineers hardware and software.

A new study shows that the daily pay of CEO in the United States now exceeds the annual salary of a worker.

(Larry’s hourly wage is more than the annual salary of middle managers in our part of the continent)

Nearly 50 years ago the average salary of a CEO in the United States was 20 times higher than that of the average worker. Today it is 273 times higher.
