A survey released this week revealed the highest paid chief executives among publicly traded companies in New Jersey.

The report by The Associated Press and Equilar, an executive data firm, looked at firms with more than $1 billion in revenue that filed documents with federal regulators between Jan. 1 and May 1.

Chief executives who were in their posts for at least two years were included. Equilar totaled salary, stock awards, stock option awards, deferred compensation and other perks and benefits to calculate executive pay.

NJ Advance Media compiled a list of the state’s highest paid executives from lowest to highest below.
