Plenty of Perks

I recently read a story on executive compensation with highlights on "perk" packages such as utilization of corporate jets for personal use, club dues, security, and other goodies. According to the article, in 2011 for the 100 highest paid CEO's with companies with revenues above $5 billion the "typical" perks package was worth, on average, $325,000, mostly for personal use of private jets. I was stunned that in today's environment boards condone CEOs utilizing corporate jets for private use. According to the article, perks are increasingly used to provide alternatives to reported compensation because of the scrutiny over excessive CEO compensation. I suppose they figure that bennies listed on another page will not create such a ruckus. Wrong. Shareholders are not pleased to see the high life at the top, but for some reason, perks persists on top of pay packages for the top-paid execs ranging from $28 million to $96 million for Larry Ellison at Oracle. Go figure.
