IMPORTANT

This site presents correlations, not causations. CEO wealth is affected by many factors including overall stock market performance, company valuation changes, personal investments, and economic conditions.

Contract awards are one of many factors that may influence company performance and executive wealth. We present the timeline of events and let readers draw their own conclusions.

Wealth estimates are simplified calculations based on public stock holdings and do not include private assets, options, or other holdings.
