$1 CEO's

Description:

In an era of skyrocketing CEO pay and growing shareholder angst about it, a handful of chief executives are opting to draw a $1 paycheck or none at all. The most recent entrant to the $1-or-less club is John Mackey of Whole Foods (WFMI). He announced in November that he's not doing it to tie pay to performance, but because he feels he's earned enough money. "I continue to work for Whole Foods not because of the money I can make but because of the pleasure I get from leading such a great company, and the ongoing passion I have to help make the world a better place," said Mackey in a statement.
