BusinessWeek has the following table for ratio of CEO pay to the average workers' pay. The average ratio for the top "lucky" CEOs is 495 and the average ratio for SP 500 companies is 204. The #1 CEO is Ronald Johnson from PC Penney with a staggering ratio of 1795. You will love to read the following information for Mr. Johnson.
