$13 Million for 18 Days' Work

Alan Fishman started his job as CEO of Washington Mutual bank on September 8.

Last week, Washington Mutual was sold to another bank, JP Morgan Chase, and Fishman will be replaced as its CEO. There are reports that Fishman could receive $13 million for his 18 days on the job.

To critics of the banking industry, this is another example of the excessive pay that top executives receive.
