Big Food is big business — and for chief executives at some of the largest food companies in the U.S., it’s a lofty means of making money.
Brands such as PepsiCo., Tyson Foods Inc., and Nestle, are among the leading food and beverage food companies nationwide, according to data gathering platform Statista. We’ve compiled a list of the average salaries that chief executives at the 10 biggest food and beverage companies in North America make annually, as well as when they took over as CEOs.
It’s important to note that companies pay executives differently — bonuses and stock options play a big part in their leader’s net worth — and salaries can be impacted by years of experience, the size of the company, whether they are privately held, as well as that company’s particular pay strategy.
