Pfizer Inc. Chairman and CEO Ian Read's total compensation in 2017 was 313 times as much as the company's median employee, according to a regulatory filing.
Read received about $27.9 million in annual compensation, compared to the median employee's $89,206.
Additionally, Pfizer said a 223:1 CEO pay ratio "reflects a more representative comparison," as it compares the CEO's regular annual pay to the pay of the median employee. The supplemental pay ratio excludes the $8 million incentive award Pfizer granted Read in 2017.
