15 execs who make more than their CEOs

• Title: Executive VP and CFO
• Company: Goldman Sachs Group
• CEO: Lloyd C. Blankfein
• Pay difference: $1.4 million

After five years of leading the securities division at Goldman Sachs, Harvey Schwartz was elevated to chief financial officer at the beginning of 2013. That means he's in charge of the finances of arguably the most powerful banking firm in the world.

The new title came with more responsibility, a seat at Goldman's management committee and, of course, more money. Schwartz raked in $21.3 million in 2013, narrowly beating out CEO Lloyd Blankfein's compensation for that year, according to Equilar.--M.E.
