10. Jeffrey Immelt, General Electric
2014 Compensation: $37,250,774
Overpaid By: $24,064,362
Immelt worked hard to make GE is his own since taking over as chief executive in September 2001 from Jack Welch, and the company has performed well through some challenging times. GE stock rose 21 percent last year, for example. But Immelt is flagged by As You Sow because his pay is huge compared to his peers and the value of his pension is more than any individual could reasonably spend in retirement.
