Two CEOs are look­ing at no­tice­ably dif­fer­ent com­pen­sa­tion pack­ages this year when com­pared to last year.

Ab­b­Vie CEO Rick Gon­za­lez, on the oth­er hand, who saw his com­pa­ny ex­it PhRMA and oth­er in­dus­try trade groups in 2022, capped his fi­nal year of the com­pa­ny’s mon­u­men­tal Hu­mi­ra mo­nop­oly, and earned a raise to $26.2 mil­lion in com­pen­sa­tion, up from $23.9 mil­lion in 2021 and $24 mil­lion in 2020.
