PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Comcast’s chief executive officer was the highest paid CEO in Pennsylvania in 2016.

A survey conducted by The Associated Press and executive data firm Equilar found Brian Roberts earned $33 million.

The survey considered only publicly traded companies with more than $1 billion in revenue that filed their proxy statements with federal regulators between Jan. 1 and May 1. It included CEOs who have been in place for at least two years.



The typical CEO in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index made $11.5 million last year.
