3. Ginni Rometty

International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM)’s CEO Ginni Rometty is one of the most highly paid female CEOs among S&P 500 companies. In April, IBM’s board narrowly passed a whopping 60% raise to Ginni’s salary, after which the 59-year-old CEO’s compensation stands at $33 million. Ginni’s hefty salary has been criticized by IBM shareholders, including billionaire investor Warren Buffett, who lost confidence in the company earlier this year and sold off a third of his stake in the company. Ginni Rometty became the CEO of IBM in 2012. Since then, the beleaguered company, which is in its sixth year of a business transformation, has had revenue decline by 26%.
