Which CIOs are earning the most? What does a top CIO’s total compensation look like? The below chart details 2008 earnings for the top money-makers at public companies.

Methodology note: This list is based on publicly-filed SEC documents. It represents only CIOs from public companies among the Fortune 1000, where the CIO is one of the company’s 5 highest-paid officers.
