10 Best-paid executives: They're all men

And they're making about 2 to 3 times what the 10 top-earning women executives do.

Corporate women made impressive strides in 2006, taking charge at a slew of giant companies, and bringing in big paychecks to boot.

The top-earning woman executive is Safra Catz, president and CFO of Oracle (Charts), who took home a cool $26.1 million in total compensation last year, according to Equilar, Inc., a San Mateo, Calif.-based compensation research firm, which calculated the results for Fortune magazine. Second-highest paid is Susan Decker, CFO of Yahoo! (Charts), who brought in $24.3 million.
