The top 15 list contains all of the traditional Big Pharma players: J&J, Novartis, Roche, Pfizer, Sanofi, Merck, GSK, AstraZeneca, Bayer, AbbVie, Lilly and Bristol-Myers Squibb, as well as some relative new comers: Gilead Sciences, Teva, and Amgen.  These 15 companies amassed 2014 sales of just under $527 billion.  J&J’s revenues increased by slightly more than $3 billion (4%), Roche grew by $1.3 billion (2.7%), Amgen was up by roughly $1.4 billion (7%), Bayer rose by $1.3 billion (5%), and AbbVie grew by almost $1.2 billion (5.8%).

J&J’s $74 billion was led by prescription drugs, which  brought in $32.4 billion for J&J last year, making pharma the biggest of its divisions.

CEO Alex Gorsky is well compensated for his leadership.  According to salary.com Alex Gorsky in 2013 made $15,171,960 in total compensation.  Of this total $1,453,846 was received as a salary, $4,867,361 was received as a bonus, $2,669,999 was received in stock options, $5,988,975 was awarded as stock and $191,779 came from other types of compensation.  This information is according to proxy statements filed for the 2013 fiscal year.

J& J’s litigation in DePuy is well documented as is its efforts with vaginal mesh.
