Biggest Year-over-Year Increases
2008 → 2009

MATTHEW TEITELBAUM at Art Gallery of Ontario had the largest increase in disclosed pay on the 2009 Sunshine List: $308,547 to $945,498, up 206.4%.

A year-over-year increase or decrease in disclosed pay can include overtime, a retroactive payment, a vacation payout or severance, not only a change in base pay, rate, or role — the Sunshine List discloses total salary paid that year, not a pay rate. This list is ranked by the dollar increase, not by the percentage shown.
