Forbes releases their list of “The Highest Paid Women CEO’s”, check it out:
Irene Rosenfeld of Kraft Food stops our list of the highest-paid female chief executives. Our list, comprised of chief executives of the 500 biggest companies in the U.S. (as measured by a composite ranking of sales, profits, assets and market value), has 15 female chief executives from a handful of industries including food, insurance and energy.
During her fourth year as Kraft’s chief executive Rosenfeld, 56, had a total compensation package (salary, bonus, stock and options) of $16.7 million. She runs the largest U.S. food manufacturer ($52 billion market cap), and her compensation is on par with her male peers at other food companies such as Kellogg and General Mills

But other women on the list haven’t fared as favorably. PepsiCo’s Indra Nooyi, who runs one of the leading U.S. brand companies ($105 billion market cap) has an annual compensation package that is worth half of her male counterpart at McDonald’s $10.7 million for Nooyi compared to $20 million for McDonald’s boss James Skinner. And Sunoco’s Lynn Laverty Elsenhans’ package ($1.5 million) lags considerably behind the chief executive at rival refinery firm Tesoro ($18.6 million).
According to compensation experts, the disparity in pay can be attributed, in part, to the tendency of female executives to choose a straightforward salary and bonus package over a stock and options laden one. “Women are more being paid on their current business performance, in salary and bonus, and yielding on long-term wealth accumulation opportunities,” says Pearl Meyer, a senior managing director at executive compensation firm Steven Hall & Partners.

Oprah Winfrey, long the queen of daytime talk shows, is expected Thursday to announce she’s heading out after dark, the Wall Street Journal reports.
So, all the fans who’ve been holding their breath since November when it was announced “The Oprah Winfrey Show” would be shuttered Sept. 9, 2011 can relax. And then they can immediately start calling the cable company to find out if Oprah’s new cable channel, OWN, will be on the menu in time for the new show’s debut.
“Oprah’s Next Chapter” is expected to air two or three nights a week on OWN; instead of being stuck in a studio, the show reportedly will follow Winfrey around the globe, where she presumably will do whatever the heck she wants to do because, you know, she’s Oprah.
“I’m going to take viewers with me, going to take celebrities I want to interview with me,” Winfrey told the Journal.

A wise man once told me if you want to be successful you should model someone who is already successful. With that being said I thought it would be a good idea to post the most productive CEOs in America according to Inc; check it out!
In a country whose citizens work longer and get more done than those anywhere else, no one is more productive than entrepreneurs. They have unparalleled freedom to work the way they want, and many create truly personal productivity systems to lash their to-do (and do and do and do) lists into submission. Like the companies themselves, those systems reflect the CEOs’ values, goals, and leadership styles. To get a look inside the minds of the superefficient, Inc. interviewed successful entrepreneurs in various industries around the country.
