CEO Pay vs. Workers in Richmond | Richmond News

CEOs at Richmond’s top public companies earned a jaw-dropping 176 times more than average employees—$8.6 million vs. $104,000—revealing stark pay gaps that get even wilder when global workers are factored in. Companies like Universal Corp. (999:1) and Brink’s (598:1 globally) skew numbers due to overseas staff earning far less, while U.S.-only ratios drop dramatically. CarMax, Accendra Health, and ARKO also posted massive disparities, with Altria’s former CEO topping local comparisons at 147:1. This snapshot of 19 firms employing over 260,000 people exposes the complex—and often surprising—drivers behind executive pay inequality.
