Thomas Dooley, CFO of Viacom, received a total compensation package of more than $26 million in 2009. John Killian of Verizon Communications made a lot less--a mere $9.6 million. And Ian G.H. Ashken of Jarden Corp. got $9. 5 million.

Those fellas are the three highest paid executives included among the 25 most richly compensated CFOs in the Big Apple, according to a list just published by Crain's New York Business, drawing on data from compensation research firm Equilar.
