Although quantifying a school’s profile certainly does not tell you everything, it can sometimes be helpful in simplifying the many differences between the various MBA programs. Each week, we bring you a chart to help you decide which of the schools’ strengths speak to you.

Of the top ten CEOs on the list, only one holds an MBA: John Donahoe, the CEO of eBay and an alumnus of Stanford’s Graduate School of Business. We thought comparing Donahoe’s total compensation for the year—approximately $29.7 million—to some figures more relatable to the average MBA student would be interesting.
