How much do directors of Fortune 500 companies make?

Look at Director Watch from the Center for Economic and Policy Research and Pay Pals from the Huntington Post. Director Watch makes the argument against exorbitant pay, while Pay Pals has a data base of quite a few directors.

Director Watch highlights Erskine Bowles (of Bowles-Simpson fame) and Martin Feldstein, a prominent conservative economist. Bowles grossed over $3,000,000 in directors fees for the five years 2008-2012, Feldstein over $1,000,000 in that time period.

Pay Pals highlights William H. Gray, III. He made over $5,000,000 from 2008-2012 as a director of Pfizer, JPMorgan, Prudential and Dell.
