The study only looked at executives at publicly-traded companies with more than $1 billion in revenue that had filed proxy statements before May 1.

Each exec's total compensation for 2016 includes salary, cash bonuses, the grant-date value of stock option awards, and other compensation, which includes perks like security expenses. (You can read Equilar and The New York Times full methodology here).
