What Some CEOs are Earning Is Simply Mindblowing

allAfrica's Esther Rose takes a look at salaries for CEOs and wonders if a line will ever be drawn on what they earn. There are some who earn over U.S.$71 million a year, while others, including presidents, earn far less. Media, pharmaceuticals and cellphone giants are but some areas of business where CEOs are coining it, literally. You may be mildly to wildly surprised by figures that may have us all wishing we could be CEOs when we grow up!
