They mostly get their money through stocks though, not through their salary.

The highest pay people in the world are professional sports stars, like Tiger Woods, no question. They earn more than many/most CEOs and media moguls.

Interesting tidbit: Steve Jobs' official salary is $1.00 (his value and earnings come from stock dividends -- http://crenk.com/how-does-steve-jobs-survive-on-only-1-salary-from-apple-hint-48-million-in-dividend-income-helps/.)

Orthodontist, the guys that put braces on. They can make up to $200,000 a year. Their job is pretty easy too.

200,000 is nowhere near the highest paying salary in the world.

While many medical professions are high on the pay scale, those who perform surgery are the highest paid -- specifically, surgeons who specialize in the treatment of illness or injury. As such, most surgeons opt to specialize in a specific area, like the heart or the brain.
