America’s highest paid CEO: It’s not who you think

By Around the Web

(FINANCE.YAHOO) — Go ahead and guess: Who was the highest-paid executive at an American company last year?

Tim Cook? Larry Ellison? Microsoft’s Satya Nadella?

No, according to an analysis by Bloomberg News, it was 39-year-old Nick Woodman, the CEO of camera-maker GoPro (GPRO).

Shortly before the company went public last June, Woodman received a restricted stock grant valued at $284.5 million as of the end of the year.
