Johnson & Johnson ($JNJ) CEO Alex Gorsky and his wife have a new Manhattan pad. The Gorskys laid out $9 million--more than the asking price--for a condo on Riverside Drive, the New York Post reports. The J&J chief recently caught fire for his pay package from an activist investor; in 2014, his compensation amounted to $24.99 million, putting him 8th on FiercePharma's highest-paid list. J&J's headquarters is in New Brunswick, NJ. Story | More | CEO pay ranking
