Wondering how to make the big bucks at The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE: GS)? Besides hard work, talent, meeting your goals, and organizational savvy, it helps to be bald.
According to Bloomberg, GS paid its CEO Lloyd Blankfein $54 million for his work in 2006.

It also paid $53 million to both first year co-presidents Gary Cohn (on the right) and John Winkelreid (left).

I'm not the first to notice this trend. Fellow BloggingStocks blogger Rick Rickertsen wrote about the same trend back in October.
