Should Making Money Be The Measure Of Self-Worth?
Did you know that, in the United States, the average CEO income is way higher than that of average workers. In 2021, the average CEO of a S&P 500 company made $18.3 million, while the median worker made just $58,260. This means that the average CEO was paid 324 times more than the median worker.
