Greedy Greederson of Greedville

Well, isn’t this just a kick in the savings account! A survey of Canadian CEO’s salaries is out and it finds that by the time the highest paid among them have put in a bit more than one day’s worth of work, they’ve earned your entire year’s salary.

The average annual income for the top 100 CEO’s is more than 8.5 million dollars. Listen, I’m a capitalist pig at heart. I believe you make your own luck and your success is generally limited only by your own imagination and sweat equity. But I truly think that if someone offered me the kind of insane money being given to the country’s top CEO – $55 million – I would say, whoa there! That’s just insane! Who in their right mind would think they’re actually worth the gross national product of a small nation?

Almost everybody thinks they’re worth more than they’re being paid and in many cases, it’s probably true. But if you can buy a new Jag with a swipe of your debit card – every week – you may need to consider whether greed has taken over your life!
