The Rocky Mountain News devoted much of the business section Saturday to an analysis of Colorado's top earners. [2] Homebuilder chief execs Larry Mizel and David Mandarich of MDC Holdings are at the top of the heap. Each made $40 million this year. Here's the list [3] of the top 262 earners. Salaries, bonuses and stock options are included in the compensation totals. Check out the top 50 -- there is only one woman, Pamela H. Patsley, Senior Executive Vice President of First Data. Ms. Patsley earned $3,420,478 and is the only woman who earned more than $3 million last year. Out of about 97 persons earning more than $2 million, only four were women. Four men, but not one woman in Colorado had a salary in excess of $1 million. Twenty-two men but no women had bonuses exceeding $1 million. Eight men but no women received stock options with a potential value of more than $15 million. Five men but no women made more than $10 million from cashing out stock options. Why the disparity? However far we've come, it's not nearly far enough in the world of corporate movers and shakers.
