Oracle’s Larry Ellison is officially the world’s best paid technology company CEO according to Forbes magazine, paid a whopping US $192.9 million last year. Who else makes the cut?

The Apple blog at CNN’s Fortune magazine has a few figures not listed in the Forbes online article of Top 12 technology CEOs, ranked by their 2007 total income.

For example, it notes that Steve Jobs – who was the most highly paid CEO in 2006 despite his US $1 per year salary, thanks for US $646 million in stock grants that vested in 2006 – drops to the 120th best paid CEO on the list of CEOs in general.

But in the list of technology company CEOs, a much smaller list, Steve Jobs comes in at number 11, with US $14.6 million in total pay last year (2007), out of the top 10, but still a pretty penny.

Still, that’s nothing compared with Larry Ellison’s take home pay of US $192.9 million, or Nabeeb Gareel from MEMC Electronic Materials who took home a 2007 paycheque of US $79.6 million.

Forbes Magazine has a slideshow of the top 12 tech CEOs, but this list gives you them all at a quick glance, naturally in US dollars.
 
1. Larry Ellison, Oracle: $192.9 million
2. Nabeeb Gareel, MEMC Electronic Materials: $79.6 million
3. John Chambers, Cisco: $54.8 million
4. Mark Hurd, HP: $27.6 million
5. Jen-Hsun Huang, NVIDIA: $24.6 million
6. Samual Palmisano, IBM: $24.3 million
7. Wendell Weeks, Corning: $22.6 million
8. Joseph Tucci, EMC: $20 million
9. William Sullivan, Agilent: $17.4 million
10. Paul Otellini, Intel: $16.3 million
11. Steve Jobs, Apple: $14.6 million
12. Jonathan Schwartz, Sun: $13.5 million

So, where’s Steve Ballmer of Microsoft, or other top tech CEOs? Please read on.
