Four construction industry CEOs were among the 200 best-compensated chiefs of publicly-held companies valued at $1 billion or more on this year's list compiled by compensation consultant Equilar Inc. for The New York Times, based on 2014 proxy statements filed by April 30.
Of those CEOs, one is a newcomer both to the list and his industry firm position, while the other took advantage of improved stock value and a generous long-term compensation package. The data is based on required filings to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
