You have to look out for this one, because sometimes (eg. if the CEO is also the owner of the company) it can be very misleading. I worked at an ISP back in university where everyone, including the managing director, was paid roughly minimum wage. Any time anyone asked for a raise, the answer was "Bob the MD only gets paid $X per hour, are you asking for more than Bob?" ignoring the fact that every dollar on the company's value was a dollar in Bob's pocket.
