While CEOs earned an average of $207,690 per week last year, the typical American worker took home $725 per week at the end of 2010, a slight increase from a year earlier. Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman was the highest paid CEO making $84.5 million last year. CBS Corporation CEO Leslie Moonves received a 32 percent pay raise, resulting in $57 million in earnings.
