While some tech CEOs, including Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg and Google cofounders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, have opted to receive a $1 annual salary, others are still bringing in the big bucks.
The New York Times recently put together a list of the 200 highest-paid CEOs in America. Many of them run tech companies.
Only chief executives leading companies with a market capitalization of at least $1 billion were considered.
