Mattel Inc. MAT, +0.23% Chief Executive Margo Georgiadis has a total compensation that is 4,987 times the median worker's pay of $6,271, according to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission late Thursday. Georgiadis's total compensation was $31.3 million for 2017. Since Georgiadis joined the company in 2017, she received about $25 million in stock compensation, some of which is tied to performance. When removed from the CEO's annual compensation figure, Georgiadis would receive $9.6 million, or 1,527 times the median worker's pay. In the filing, Mattel said about 78% of its workers, or 27,500 people, are employed outside of the U.S., the majority of whom work in manufacturing plants. "Market levels of pay and wage rates are dramatically lower for foreign countries in which Mattel has manufacturing facilities," the filing said, adding that the overall median worker pay was less than 25% of the median wage of its U.S.-based workers. Mattel said it has about 35,280 employees by the end of 2017, including temporary and seasonal workers. Firms are reporting their CEO pay in comparison to the median worker for the first time because of a 2015 rule mandated by the Dodd-Frank act. Mattel stock is down 14% this year, as the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.69% has fallen 1%.
