Blackstone Group COO Tony James
Title: President and COO
Company: Blackstone Group (
BX)
CEO: Stephen A. Schwarzman, $6.7 million
Pay difference: $19.4 million
A $350,000 salary isn't bad, but what really pushed James over the top was a massive bonus of $23.5 million.
Stephen Schwarzman, CEO of the private-equity giant, got the same salary, but no bonus -- his total pay seems almost meager by comparison at $6.7 million. Of course, considering Schwarzman made $180 million in 2007, he's probably not too broken up about it.
