According to the investment news group Bloomberg, the highest paid CEO in the U.S. is Marc Lore, head of Walmart e-commerce division. He brought home 237 million dollars last year. That’s as much as about 10,000 Walmart workers would make–if they worked full time!
A lot of his money came from Walmart buying the company jet.com that he owned. And where did Walmart get the money to buy that company? From the wealth created by its workers, of course!
