WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Lee Raymond, the chairman and chief executive officer of Exxon Mobil Corp., earned $144,573 for each day of the 13 years he served at the top of the oil company, according to a report in Saturday's New York Times.
Raymond, who retired from Exxon in December, received more than $686 million from 1993 to 2005, according to an analysis done for the paper by an independent compensation consultant.
Raymond received more that $400 million in the final year of his contract.
Shareholder activists, consumer groups and corporate governance experts were taken aback by the details of the package.

WHAT THE F&%@ ???

I call bullshit on this... my Dad lost everything but his pride when the oil industry went bust and now the rest of the country is just bending over and taking it in the bum... There are salary caps in football to keep the game fair... why are there not salary caps to keep the general public's life fair. Believe me, gas prices affect a hell of a lot more people than football.

Of course, the government wants gas to cost more since the sales tax revenue on gas goes up. I agree with Malinda777. WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO STAND UP AND LET THE MAJORITY RULE !!!!!! The minority can kiss my a$$ because this is a land where the Majority is supposed to call the shots. And it does when it suits the needs of the politicians, such as elections... then a small minority starts to complain... i.e. prayer in schools, immigration, the right to eat a BLT without the "T"... and the minority gets the privelege.

MAJORITY RULES... MINORITY ADJUSTS !!!!

You drain the economy of my government for free health care and education... Go back home... are you too good for your home? If you want to come to America there are a number of ways to do it legally. That is what our country was based on... so get used to it !!!!! If you don't like it, GO HOME. I didn't ask you to come here and You march and hold signs that say that you are not a criminal...

IF YOU BREAK THE LAW... YOU
ARE A CRIMINAL !!!

You immigrate illegally and you take food out of my child's mouth, medicine out of his body... if you don't like it where you are, change it... but don't expect me to subsidize you. Be a man and provide for your family without breaking the law... otherwise, I have no problem paying the gas on an un-airconditioned bus to send you back home. Want it - work for it - Don't steal it.
