FierceBiotech -- What do you get when you make it to the top of Big Biotech’s biggest companies? Millions in compensation, for one thing. But although the average pay for the CEOs listed is $14.42 million, most saw a decline from 2006 levels, underscoring the stock market challenges some biotechs faced in 2007. Take, for instance, Amgen CEO Kevin Sharer. Though he came out on top in this year’s CEO pay ranking, Sharer’s pay down 17 percent from 2006. His base salary was up slightly to $1.55 million but he took a hit on stock awards and incentive plan compensation.
