Companies that are currently paying top earners have seen their share of earnings rise over the past 12 months.

But which companies are earning more?

And how much of that is attributable to the paychecks of their CEOs?

Recode’s chief technology reporter John DeLong and Recode Capital’s chief economist Brian Wieser break it all down.

Recode’s top earnersIn July, Facebook’s Paul Mark wrote an open letter to his company’s board of directors.

Mark said Facebook’s stock price had dropped in recent months as he and other board members took a hard look at the company’s business.

He said that Facebook had been “a good business, but not a great one.”

“We saw too many signs of a decline in revenue and profits that were not really sustainable,” Mark wrote.

Mark’s comments were echoed by other board directors.

The CEOs of Apple, Google, Microsoft and Amazon have all taken steps to reduce the number of employees in their respective companies.

The leaders of Microsoft and Facebook have also cut the number, and some of those cuts have been for the purpose of reducing the value of their stock.
