14: Yum Brands ( YUM ) CEO: David W. Gibbs 2022 Compensation: $16,671,654 Median employee salary: $10,398:1 Pay ratio: 1,603 Prices at Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut spiked last year, and the company hasn't ruled out additional increases this year (though it says they would only be implemented as a "last resort"). While some competitors have struggled, Yum has added thousands of stores worldwide over the past two years, which helps explain Gibbs' $16 million compensation package, which is vastly larger than what the average employee (including both global and part-time workers ) takes home. 15: TJX Companies ( TJX ) CEO: Ernie Herrman 2022 Compensation: $20,525,368 Median employee salary: $13,884 Pay ratio: 1,478:1
