Title: President and CEO
Company: Rite Aid
Age: 60
Compensation: $1.89 million
Rite Aid is in much better shape than it was in 1999, when Sammons joined as President in the middle of accounting scandal. Four years later when she took over as CEO, the company was still losing money, but it had survived bankruptcy. These days Sammons is busy assimilating the recent $3.4 billion Brooks and Eckerd purchase.
